Proclaiming the call to Islam.

Then, the following words of Allah were revealed to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him:
0:28
"And..."
0:30
And the following words of Allah were revealed to him, peace be upon him:
0:34
“So proclaim that which thou art commanded, and withdraw from the idolaters.” (15:94)
0:41
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:
0:43
Then it was revealed to him, peace be upon him:
0:47
“So proclaim that which thou art commanded, and withdraw from the idolaters.” (15:94)
0:51
So, the Prophet, peace be upon him, proclaimed the call and openly declared it to his people.
0:57
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:
0:59
There was no one among the Banu Hashim at that time
1:02
who possessed more faith, certainty, and belief in the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:08
than Ali, may Allah be pleased with him.
1:11
For this reason, they were the first to commit to what the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, requested of them.
1:18
Then, after this—and Allah knows best—
1:21
came his calling the people openly upon Mount Safa,
1:24
and his warning to the clans of Quraysh, both generally and specifically,
1:28
until he named those he named among his uncles, aunts, and daughters,
1:33
to use the lesser example to alert them to the greater reality,
1:36
meaning: "I am only a warner."
1:39
And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.
1:44
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections,
1:47
with the wording belonging to Muslim,
1:49
from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
1:52
When this verse was revealed:
1:55
"And warn your closest kindred,"
1:58
and those among them who are sincere,
2:01
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, went out until he ascended Mount Safa.
2:06
He cried out, "Ya sabahah!" (a call of alarm).
2:09
They asked, "Who is this calling out?"
2:12
They said, "It is Muhammad."
2:14
So they gathered around him.
2:16
He said:
2:17
"O Banu Fulan!"
2:19
"O Banu Fulan!"
2:21
"O Banu Fulan!"
2:23
"O Banu Abd Manaf!"
2:25
"O Banu Abd al-Muttalib!"
2:27
They gathered around him.
2:29
He said:
2:30
"What do you think? If I were to tell you that cavalry were emerging from the foot of this mountain,
2:36
would you believe me?"
2:38
They replied, "We have never known you to tell a lie."
2:42
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
2:45
"Then I am a warner to you before a severe punishment."
2:50
The two Shaykhs narrated in their Sahih collections,
2:53
from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:56
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, stood up when Allah revealed:
3:02
"And warn your closest kindred."
3:05
He said:
3:06
"O assembly of Quraysh!
3:08
Save yourselves!
3:10
I cannot avail you anything against Allah."
3:14
"O Banu Abd Manaf!
3:16
I cannot avail you anything against Allah."
3:19
"O Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib!
3:22
I cannot avail you anything against Allah."
3:25
"And O Safiyyah, aunt of the Messenger of Allah!
3:29
I cannot avail you anything against Allah."
3:32
"And O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad!
3:34
Ask me for whatever you wish from my wealth,
3:37
but I cannot avail you anything against Allah."
3:41
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, clarified to those closest to him
3:46
that belief in this message
3:49
is the lifeblood of the connection between him and them,
3:52
and that the tribal partisanship upon which the Arabs relied
3:57
dissolved in the heat of this warning coming from Allah.

4:19
If the longing of the worlds for one another grows long,
4:26
the longing for you, O Messenger, has no limit.
4:33
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,
4:39
and as long as lips move with the remainder of the remembrance.
