It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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. But he (Abu Talib) refused to do so. Then Allah revealed this verse: "Indeed, , you do not guide whom you like, but Allāh guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the guided."(Quran 28:56).
