When the verse was revealed: "And warn your closest kin,"
0:37
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) summoned Quraysh,
0:42
and they assembled,
0:44
so he addressed them generally and specifically,
0:46
saying:
0:48
"O children of Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy!
0:50
O children of Murrah ibn Ka'b!
0:53
O children of 'Abd Shams!
0:56
O children of 'Abd Manaf!
0:58
O children of Hashim!
1:01
O children of 'Abd al-Muttalib!
1:04
Save yourselves from the Fire!
1:08
And O Fatimah!
1:10
Save yourself from the Fire!
1:13
For I possess no power to protect you from Allah in any way,
1:18
except that you have kinship ties which I will uphold with the care due to them."

Ibn al-Tin said:

"Maintaining the ties of kinship
1:34
becomes a means of being granted success in obedience
1:37
and preservation from sin,
1:39
so one's honorable remembrance endures,
1:42
as though one has never died."
