and grant him peace: “When the words

‘And warn your closest kindred’

(Surah al-Shu‘arā’: 214)

were revealed, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, summoned Quraysh, and they assembled. He addressed them in both specific and general terms, saying:

‘O sons of Ka‘b ibn Lu’ayy, save yourselves from the Fire! O sons of Murra ibn Ka‘b, save yourselves from the Fire! (1 O sons of Abd Shams, save yourselves from the Fire! O sons of Abd Manāf, save yourselves from the Fire! 1)(1) O sons of Hāshim, save yourselves from the Fire! O sons of Abd al-Muttalib, save yourselves from the Fire! O Fātima (daughter of Muhammad)(2), save yourself from the Fire! I can avail you nothing before Allah, except that you have ties of kinship with me, which I shall duly maintain.’”(3)

The two Sahih collections also narrate from Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him: “When this verse was revealed, he said:

‘O people of Quraysh, redeem yourselves before Allah, for I can avail you nothing before Allah. O sons of Abd al-Muttalib, I can avail you nothing before Allah. O Safiyya, paternal aunt of the Messenger of Allah, I can avail you nothing before Allah. O Fātima daughter of Muhammad, I can avail you nothing before Allah. You two may ask me for whatever you wish of my wealth.’”(4)
