Tabbatt - Abu Lahab

When Rasullullah(sallallahu alaihe wassallam) gathered the people of Makkah to announce the message, he said something like 'If I were to tell you there was an enemy behind the hill, would you believe me?'
Everyone responded by saying yes, saying he was the trustworthy one.
But when he then gave the message, Abu Lahab used the term 'Tabbatt' to make fun of him, 'Did you gather us here for this?'
So Allah revealed Surah Lahab in response to him, and it also started with the same phrase.
