It is mentioned in history that after Muhammad (S) saw Jibraeel (a.s.) in the cave of Hira, and received the first revelation, he hurried home and narrated the incident to his wife, Lady Khadija (a.s.). He says: I came to Khadija and said: “I am fearful for my life.” Then he narrated the incident of seeing Jibraeel and his message. Khadija replied, “Glad tiding be to you by Allah, He has not degraded you in any way.

By Allah, you are nice to your kin, truthful and honest, you share the difficulties of others, are hospitable and help others in the problems of the world.”[^1] Sometimes the Messenger of Allah (S) took this matter as the evidence of his messengership and asked people to accept his prophethood.

Bulazari writes: When the verse of: وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ “And warn your nearest relations,” (26:214) …was revealed on (S), he climbed Mount Safa and called the Quraish in a loud voice and Quraish heard him and remarked: Muhammad is on Mount Safa and he is calling you. All of them came to him and asked: O Muhammad, why have you summoned us?

He replied: “Would you believe me if I tell you that enemy riders have come behind this mountain and are about to launch an attack on you?” Yes, they said, “We would definitely believe you, because we have never seen you lying. He said: “So I warn you of the chastisement of Judgment Day. O sons of Abdul Muttalib, O sons of Abd Manaf, O sons of Zahra! (and he mentioned the Quraish tribes). Allah has commanded me to call my near relatives to Islam.

I do not consider anything more beneficial for your world and hereafter except that you say: There is no god, except Allah.”[^2] Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) also accepted Islam in this way. He was the first among men that at the beginning of the Prophet’s mission accepted his call and embraced faith as a result of recognition and assurance with regard to him. Abu Bakr also became a Muslim in this manner.
