RESPONSIBILITY TO ONE’S SELF

329

“When this verse was revealed, 'Warn your tribe and your near kinsmen.' 26:214 the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, invited the tribe of Koraysh and they all came. He said to them, ‘Children of Abd Shams, children of Ka'ab son of Lu'ayy rescue yourselves from the Fire. Children of Murrah son of Ka'ab, rescue yourselves from the Fire. Children of Abd Manat, rescue yourselves from the Fire. Children of Hashim, rescue yourselves from the Fire. Children of Abdul Muttalib, rescue yourselves from the Fire. O Fatima, rescue yourself from the Fire, because I do not own a thing with Allah for you. I am related to you, and I will continue to fulfill my obligations.’”

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related this.
