rescue yourselves from the Fire

 
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
When this verse was revealed: And warn your tribe (O Muhammad SAW) of near kindred the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) called the Quraish; so they gathered and he gave them a general warning. Then he made a particular (reference to certain tribes) and said: O sons of Ka'b bin Lu'ai, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of Murrah bin Ka'b, rescue yourselves from the Fire: O sons of 'Abd Shams, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of 'Abd Manaf, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of Hashim, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of 'Abdul-Muttalib, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O Fatimah, rescue yourself from the Fire, for I have no power (to protect you) from Allah in anything except that I would sustain relationship with you.
