It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "And warn your nearest relatives," the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called the Quraysh, gave a general call and also a specific call. In one narration, it is mentioned: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called each family of the Quraysh specifically and said: O assembly of Quraysh! Save yourselves from the Fire. O assembly of Banu Ka'b bin Lu'ayy! Save yourselves from the Fire. O assembly of Banu 'Abd Manaf! Save yourselves from the Fire. O assembly of Banu Hashim! Save yourselves from the Fire. O assembly of Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib! Save yourselves from the Fire. O Fatimah bint Muhammad! Save yourself from the Fire. By Allah! Verily, I do not possess anything from Allah for you, except that you have ties of kinship with me, which I will maintain.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, he says: When Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And warn your close relatives," the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to the hill of Safa and, having climbed it, called out: "Ya Sabahah!" So people gathered around him, some came themselves and some sent their messengers. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O Banu Abdul Muttalib! O Banu Fihr! O Banu Lu'ayy! What do you think, if I were to inform you that there is an army at the foot of this mountain intending to launch a sudden attack on you, would you believe me?" They said: "Yes." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Then I am a warner to you before a severe punishment." Upon hearing this, Abu Lahab said: "May you perish for the rest of the day! Did you call us together for this purpose?" At this, Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he!"

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Banu Abdul Muttalib! Save yourselves from Allah by your own actions. O Safiyyah! (the Prophet’s aunt), O Fatimah bint Muhammad! Save your own souls from Allah. I will not be able to avail you anything before Allah. However, you may ask me whatever you wish from my wealth.
