1690 - Abu Bakr ibn Abi Dawud al-Sijistani narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Hatim al-Askarī narrated to us, saying: Bishr ibn Mehran narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Dinar narrated to us, from Dawud ibn Abi Hind, from al-Shu'bi, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: A delegation from Najran came to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), consisting of al-Aqib and al-Tayyib. He invited them to Islam, and they said, "We have already accepted Islam, O Muhammad, before you." He said, "You have both lied. If you wish, I can inform you of what will prevent you from Islam." They said, "Tell us." He replied, "The love of the cross, the drinking of wine, and the eating of pig's flesh. There will be no wealth or life." Then he invited them to a mubahala (mutual cursing), and they promised to meet him the next morning.
So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) went out in the morning, taking the hands of Ali, Fatimah, and Hasan and Husayn (peace be upon them), and then sent for them, but they refused to come and acknowledged him with a tribute. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "By the One who sent me with the truth, if they had acted, the valley would have rained fire upon them."
Jabir said: This verse was revealed about them: {So say, 'Come, let us call our children and your children, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves' } (Surah Al-Imran 3:61).
Al-Shu'bi said: {Our children and your children} (Surah Al-Imran 3:61)
refers to Hasan and Husayn (peace be upon them), {our women and your women} (Surah Al-Imran 3:61)
refers to Fatimah (peace be upon her), {ourselves and yourselves} (Surah Al-Imran 3:61)
refers to Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him).
