The Incident of Mubahala فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْاْ نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءنَا وَأَبْنَاءكُمْ وَنِسَاءنَا وَنِسَاءكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَةَ اللّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ The Holy Quran 3:61,
According to hadith , it is reported that during the 9th - 10th year after hijra an Arab Christian emissary from Najran came to the prophet to dispute which of the two parties went wrong in its doctrine about Jesus. The prophet called them to Mubahala(Cursing), where each one should ask God to demolish the lying party and their families. Muhammad (Peace Upon to Him), to prove to them that he is a prophet, brought his daughter Fatimah and his grandchildren, Hasan and Hussein, and Ali ibn Abi Talib and came back to the Christians and said this is my family (Ahl al-Bayt) and enclosed himself and his family with a cloak. The Christian representative rejected to join in in Mubahala and chose instead to give tribute.
-The "mubahalah tradition" has been reported in different books of "sirah" and history with different wordings. These contain those of Tirmidhi ("Sahih" 166/2) , Hakim Nishaburi in "Al-Mustadrak" 150/3 and Bayhaqi in "Sunan" 63/7. Hakim regards this tradition as valid. • Muhammad said, "Ali pertains to me and I pertain to him, and he is the guardian of every believer." Tirmidhi transmitted it. (TIRMIDHI 1583) • Muhammad said, "When I am anyone's patron, Ali is his patron also."
