The verse of tablīgh (Arabic: آیة التَّبليغ, lit. 'verse of proclamation') refers to verse of 5:67 of the Quran, the central religious text of Islam, which reads
O Messenger! Convey that which has been sent down unto thee from thy Lord, and if thou dost not, thou wilt not have conveyed His message. And God will protect thee from mankind. Surely God guides not disbelieving people.[1]
Among various Sunni views, this verse is sometimes connected to Muhammad's criticism of Jews and Christians, or viewed as evidence of his faithfulness in transmitting the divine revelations. In Shia Islam, this verse spurred Muhammad to deliver an announcement at the Ghadir Khumm in 632 CE about his cousin and son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib, which in Shia signifies the divine investiture of Ali with the spiritual authority (walaya) over Muslims. A few Sunni authors have similarly linked this verse to Ali's merits.
