In Surah Ash-Shu'ara (Surah 26), Allah relates the story of sending Prophet Musa علیہ السلام to Pharaoh for preaching, and in this context, the Prophet ﷺ is also commanded to warn and preach to his close relatives. Specifically in verse 214, with the words "And warn your nearest kinsmen", the Prophet ﷺ received the command to preach, after which he stood on Mount Safa and invited his family to Islam.
Surah Ash-Shu'ara is a Makki Surah that narrates the stories of the prophets, including Musa, Ibrahim, Nuh, Hud, Salih, Lut, and Shu'ayb علیہم السلام. In this Surah, the Prophet ﷺ is consoled that his people's denial is not new; the same happened with previous prophets. The Surah also mentions poets (Shu'ara) upon whom devils descend, and praises believing poets.
