3186. Qasāmah bin Zuhair said: "Al-Asha'rī said: 'When (the following) was revealed: 'And warn your tribe of near kindred'[1] the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ placed his fingers in his ears, raised his voice and said: 'O Banū 'Abd Manāf! Hearken!'" (Ḥasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb from this route as a narration of Abū Mūsā. Some of them reported it from 'Awf, from Qasāmah bin Zuhair from the Prophet ﷺ in Mursal form – and it is more correct – without mentioning "from Abū Mūsā" in it [I mentioned it to Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl, but he did not know it as a narration of Abū Mūsā].

Commentary
It was an Arab custom that the call of 'Yā Ṣabāḥāh' used to be made at a high place to get the people's attention, which would give message to the people that something very serious is going to happen; and the people should get together to plan protection and safety against it. So the Prophet ﷺ followed the same method to get the Quraish together to warn them against the danger of the Hereafter. When all the Quraish had gathered, he then addressed them.
