The Faith
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Messenger of Allah said to his uncle (at the time of his death): Make a
profession of it that there is no god but Allah and I will bear testimony (of your being
a Muslim) on the Day of Judgment. He (AbuTalib) said: Were it not the fear of the
Quraysh blaming me (and ) saying that it was the fear of (approaching death) that
induced me to do so, I would have certainly delighted your eyes. It was then that
Allah revealed: Verily thou can not guide to the right path whom thou lovest. And it
is Allah Who guideth whom He will and He knoweth best who are the guided
(xxviii.56).
