This account was transmitted by Ibn ʿAbbās, Abū Hurayrah, ʿĀʾishah, and others, and is related in the two Ṣaḥīḥs as well as in the Sunan, the Musnads, and the works of exegesis.
Ibn ʿAbbās said:
When the verse was revealed, “And warn your nearest relatives” (al-Shuʿarāʾ 26:214)—and in another recitation, “and the devoted ones among your own clan”—the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went out until he climbed al-Ṣafā. He then began to call, “O sons of Fihr! O sons of ʿAdiyy!”—naming the various sub-tribes of Quraysh—until they gathered around him; and whenever a man was unable to come out—
وَهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةُ رَوَاهَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةُ وَغَيْرُهُمْ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ وَغَيْرِهِمَا مِنْ كُتُبِ السُّنَنِ وَالْمَسَانِيدِ وَالتَّفْسِيرِ.
قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ:
لَمَّا «نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ:
{وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ}
[الشعراء: ٢١٤]
. وَرَهْطَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ، خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الصَّفَا،
فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِي:
يَا بَنِي فَهْرٍ، يَا بَنِي عَدِيٍّ لِبُطُونِ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ
