أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ} قَالَ " يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ اشْتَرُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ لاَ أُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لاَ أُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا يَا عَبَّاسُ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لاَ أُغْنِي عَنْكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا يَا صَفِيَّةُ عَمَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ أُغْنِي عَنْكِ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَلِينِي مَا شِئْتِ لاَ أُغْنِي عَنْكِ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا ".
Sulayman ibn Dawud reported to us: Ibn Wahb said: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab and Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman informed me, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: When the verse ‘Warn your nearest relatives’ was revealed to him, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘People of Quraysh, secure yourselves before Allah; I can avail you nothing before Allah. Children of 'Abd al-Muttalib, I can avail you nothing before Allah. 'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, I can avail you nothing before Allah. Safiyyah, the Messenger of Allah's paternal aunt, I can avail you nothing before Allah. Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad, ask me for whatever you wish; I can avail you nothing before Allah.’
Translation notes
The repeated phrase ‘buy yourselves from Allah’ is an idiom urging people to secure their own salvation; it is rendered here as ‘secure yourselves before Allah.’
