Sahih Muslim 207a
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ الْمُخَارِقِ، وَزُهَيْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالاَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ { وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ} قَالَ انْطَلَقَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى رَضْمَةٍ مِنْ جَبَلٍ فَعَلاَ أَعْلاَهَا حَجَرًا ثُمَّ نَادَى " يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافَاهْ إِنِّي نَذِيرٌ إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ رَأَى الْعَدُوَّ فَانْطَلَقَ يَرْبَأُ أَهْلَهُ فَخَشِيَ أَنْ يَسْبِقُوهُ فَجَعَلَ يَهْتِفُ يَا صَبَاحَاهْ " .
Abu Kamil al-Jahdari narrated to us: Yazid ibn Zuray‘ narrated to us: al-Taymi narrated to us, from Abu ‘Uthman, from Qabisa ibn al-Mukharriq and Zuhayr ibn ‘Amr, who said: When the verse “Warn your nearest relatives” was revealed, the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to a rocky outcrop on a mountain, climbed to its highest rock, and called out, “Descendants of ‘Abd Manaf, I am a warner to you. My likeness and yours is that of a man who sees the enemy coming and goes to scout and warn his people. Fearing that the enemy may reach them before him, he cries out, ‘Raise the alarm!’”
Translation notes
The source’s simile compares the Prophet’s warning to a scout who sees an approaching enemy and calls out urgently.
