Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ‏‏{‏وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ‏}‏ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قُرَيْشًا فَاجْتَمَعُوا فَعَمَّ وَخَصَّ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا بَنِي كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَىٍّ يَا بَنِي مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ وَيَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ وَيَا بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَيَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَنْقِذُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ وَيَا فَاطِمَةُ أَنْقِذِي نَفْسَكِ مِنَ النَّارِ إِنِّي لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنَّ لَكُمْ رَحِمًا سَأَبُلُّهَا بِبِلاَلِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Ibrahim reported to us: Jarir narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Malik ibn 'Umayr, from Musa ibn Talhah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: When the verse ‘Warn your nearest relatives’ was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned Quraysh, and they gathered. He addressed them generally and then specifically, saying: ‘Children of Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy! Children of Murrah ibn Ka'b! Children of 'Abd Shams! Children of 'Abd Manaf! Children of Hashim! Children of 'Abd al-Muttalib! Save yourselves from the Fire! Fatimah, save yourself from the Fire! I can avail you nothing before Allah, except that you are my kin, and I will uphold those ties of kinship.’

Translation notes
  • The report quotes Qur'an 26:214 and then calls out specific Quraysh clans and Fatimah.
