حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَمِّهِ: " قُلْ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدْ لَكَ بِهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ "، قَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنْ تُعَيِّرَنِي، ، قُرَيْشٌ، لَأَقْرَرْتُ عَيْنَكَ بِهَا، قَالَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ} [القصص:٥٦] (١)،

English translation
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to his uncle (Khawaja Abu Talib at the time of his death): "Acknowledge that there is no god but Allah; I will testify on your behalf with it on the Day of Resurrection." He said, "If it were not that the people of Quraysh would taunt me, saying that he recited this word out of fear, I would have cooled your eyes (i.e., pleased you)." Upon this, Allah revealed this verse: "You cannot guide whom you love."
