Sirat Ibn Hisham 278
[ خُرُوجُ عَلِيٍّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى شِعَابِ مَكَّةَ يُصَلِّيَانِ، وَوُقُوفُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَى أَمْرِهِمَا ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إذَا حَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ خَرَجَ إلَى شِعَابِ مَكَّةَ، وَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مُسْتَخْفِيًا مِنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ. وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْمَامِهِ وَسَائِرِ قَوْمِهِ، فَيُصَلِّيَانِ الصَّلَوَاتِ فِيهَا، فَإِذَا أَمْسَيَا رَجَعَا. فَمَكَثَا كَذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَا. ثُمَّ إنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ عَثَرَ عَلَيْهِمَا يَوْمًا وَهُمَا يُصَلِّيَانِ، فَقَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي مَا هَذَا الدِّينُ الَّذِي أَرَاكَ تَدِينُ بِهِ ؟ قَالَ: أَيْ عَمِّ، هَذَا دِينُ اللَّهِ، وَدِينُ مَلَائِكَتِهِ، وَدِينُ رُسُلِهِ، وَدِينُ أَبِينَا إبْرَاهِيمَ - أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ ﷺ - بَعَثَنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ رَسُولًا إلَى الْعِبَادِ، وَأَنْتَ أَيْ عَمِّ، أَحَقُّ مَنْ بَذَلْتُ لَهُ النَّصِيحَةَ، وَدَعَوْتُهُ إلَى الْهُدَى، وَأَحَقُّ مَنْ أَجَابَنِي إلَيْهِ وَأَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ؛ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ: أَيْ ابْنَ أَخِي، إنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُفَارِقَ دِينَ آبَائِي وَمَا كَانُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنْ وَاَللَّهِ لَا يَخْلُصُ إلَيْكَ بِشَيْءٍ تَكْرَهُهُ مَا بَقِيتُ وَذَكَرُوا أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ: أَيْ بُنَيَّ، مَا هَذَا الدِّينُ الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَتِ، آمَنْتُ بِاَللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ، وَصَدَّقْتُهُ بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ، وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ لِلَّهِ وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ. فَزَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ: أَمَا إنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْعُكَ إلَّا إلَى خَيْرٍ فَالْزَمْهُ
Translation
✧ [The going out of ʿAli with the Messenger of God ﷺ to the mountain passes of Makkah where they would pray, and Abu Talib's coming upon their affair] Ibn Ishaq said: Some of the people of knowledge mentioned that the Messenger of God ﷺ, when the time for prayer came, would go out to the mountain passes of Makkah, and ʿAli b. Abi Talib would go out with him, hiding from his father Abu Talib, from all his uncles, and from the rest of his people. There they would perform the prayers. When evening came, they would return. They remained thus as long as God willed them to remain. Then one day Abu Talib came upon them while they were praying and said to the Messenger of God ﷺ: "O son of my brother, what is this religion which I see you professing?" He said: "O my uncle, this is the religion of God, the religion of His angels, the religion of His messengers, and the religion of our father Abraham"—or as he ﷺ said—"God has sent me with it as a messenger to the servants. You, O my uncle, are the most deserving of one to whom I should offer sincere counsel and whom I should call to guidance, and the most deserving of one who should answer me to it and assist me in it," or as he said. Abu Talib said: "O son of my brother, I cannot part with the religion of my forefathers and what they followed. But by God, nothing that you dislike shall reach you as long as I live." They mentioned that he said to ʿAli: "O my son, what is this religion that you follow?" He said: "O my father, I believe in God and in the Messenger of God, and I believe in what he has brought. I have prayed with him for God and I follow him." They claimed that he told him: "Indeed, he has called you to nothing but good, so cleave to him." }
