According to sources of Islamic history and Qur'anic exegesis, when the [[al-Indhar Verse]] was revealed to the Prophet (s) three years after Bi'tha, the Prophet (s) ordered Ali b. Abi Talib (a) to provide some food and invite the sons of [['Abd al-Muttalib]] to a banquet so that he calls them to Islam. Around forty people, including Abu Talib, Hamza, and Abu Lahab went to the meeting. After having the food, the Prophet (s) said: "O' sons of 'Abd al-Muttalib! I swear to God that I do not know any youth among Arabs who brought for his tribe something better than what I brought to you; I have brought to you the best in this world and in the afterlife, and God has ordered me to call you to it. So which of you assists me in this mission so that I make him my brother and my successor and my caliph among you?" | According to sources of Islamic history and Qur'anic exegesis, when the [[al-Indhar Verse]] was revealed to the Prophet (s) three years after Bi'tha, the Prophet (s) ordered Ali b.
