Hadith 5152

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: When the verse And warn your closest kindred (Ash-Shu‘ara: 214) was revealed, the Prophet (ﷺ) called Quraysh, and they gathered. He spoke generally and specifically, saying: “O Banu Ka‘b ibn Lu’ay, save yourselves from the Fire! O Banu Murrah ibn Ka‘b, save yourselves from the Fire! O Banu Abd Shams, save yourselves from the Fire! O Banu Abd Manaf, save yourselves from the Fire! O Banu Hashim, save yourselves from the Fire! O Banu Abd Al-Muttalib, save yourselves from the Fire! O Fatimah, save yourself from the Fire, for I ¹ possess nothing for you from Allah except the ties of kinship, which I will honor with its due.” [Narrated by Muslim] In the narration [Agreed Upon]: He said: “O assembly of Quraysh, purchase yourselves; I cannot avail you anything against Allah. O Banu Abd Manaf, I cannot avail you anything against Allah. O Abbas ibn Abd Al-Muttalib, I cannot avail you anything against Allah. O Safiyyah, aunt of the Messenger of Allah, I cannot avail you anything against Allah. O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad, ask me whatever you wish of my wealth, but I cannot avail you anything against Allah.” The author of Al-Madarik said: He specified them to dispel any suspicion, as a person may be lenient with relatives, or to make them know he cannot avail them anything against Allah, and that salvation lies in following him, not in nearness to him.
