When Abu Tālib was about to die, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to him and found Abdullāh ibn Abu Umayyah and Abu Jahl with him. He said to him: O uncle, say that there is no god but Allah, as it is a word with which I can defend you before Allah Indeed, power is in shooting. Indeed, power is in shooting. Indeed, power is in shooting The Hour will not come until the sun rises from the west Death will be brought forward in the shape of a black and white ram Neither believe the People of the Book, nor disbelieve them The Jews are people who incurred Allah's wrath, and the Christians are astray If you see those who follow the ambiguous verses, they are those whom Allah has named; so beware of them The extent to which they betrayed you, disobeyed you, and lied to you will be measured against how much you punish them A group of pagans went to excess in killing and committing illegal sexual intercourse O people, verily Allah has removed the arrogance of the Jāhiliyyah (pre-Islamic time of ignorance) people from you and their boastfulness about their forefathers O Messenger of Allah, which bliss will we be asked about; there are only two black things available: dates and water? He said: This will certainly come When you recite Sūrat al-Fātihah, recite "In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful". It is the mother of the Qur'an, the mother of the Book, and the seven oft-repeated verses, and "In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful" is one of these verses ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I will be the first to kneel before the Most-Merciful on the Day of Resurrection for the dispute ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to make me sit with the elderly men who had fought in the Battle of Badr. Some of them did not like that Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If [a man] forbids his wife, this is nothing. He further quoted: {There is in the Messenger of Allah a good example to you} [Sūrat al-Ahzāb: 21]
