The narrations related to the revelation of the noble verse "And warn your nearest relatives" (Ash-Shu'ara 26:214) are among the numerous transmitted evidences that indicate the direct and immediate succession and leadership of Imam Ali (peace be upon him). Various narrations concerning the revelation of this verse have been recorded in both Shia and Sunni interpretative and non-interpretative writings, many of which have been criticized for either not aligning with the verse's meaning or not being consistent with the time of its revelation. The only reliable report, which most Shia and Sunni scholars, especially their commentators, have narrated, is the well-known Hadith of Al-Dar. This hadith clearly reveals the direct and immediate leadership of Imam Ali (peace be upon him); an issue whose importance becomes clear from the time it occurred, which was early in the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him and his family) mission to call people to Islam. It indicates that the only person among the close relatives of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) who responded to and accepted his invitation was the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (peace be upon him). In the present writing, various reports and narrations concerning the revelation of the aforementioned verse, known as the verse of "Warning" and "Warning the Family," have been gathered from the works of both sects, and an attempt has been made to critically and analytically examine these reports and narrations. The aim is to distinguish genuine reports from spurious ones and correct from incorrect news to critique the regrettable views that some scholars have applied concerning the interpretation of the verse and its occasion of revelation.
