It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said to his uncle (at the time of his death):Make a profession of it that there is no god but Allah and I will bear testimony (of your being a Muslim) on the Day of judgment. He (Abu Talib) said: Were it not the fear of the Quraysh blaming me (and) saying that it was the fear of (approaching death) that induced me to do so, I would have certainly delighted your eyes. It was then that Allah revealed: " Verily thou canst not guide to the right path whom thou lovest. And it is Allah Who guideth whom He will and He knoweth best who are the guided" (xxviii)

حدثنا محمد بن حاتم بن ميمون، حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد، حدثنا يزيد بن كيسان، عن ابي حازم الاشجعي، عن ابي هريرة، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لعمه " قل لا اله الا الله اشهد لك بها يوم القيامة " . قال لولا ان تعيرني قريش يقولون انما حمله على ذلك الجزع لاقررت بها عينك فانزل الله { انك لا تهدي من احببت ولكن الله يهدي من يشاء}
