فَمَنْ
حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْاْ
نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءنَا وَأَبْنَاءكُمْ وَنِسَاءنَا وَنِسَاءكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا
وأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَةُ اللّهِ عَلَى
الْكَاذِبِينَ
If any one
disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge hath come
to thee, say: "Come! Let us gather together, - our sons and your sons,
our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us
earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"
When Islam began to spread
there were some tribes, which professed Christianity.

Eid
Al-Mubahala
In the 9th year after Hijrah, Prophet Mohammed sent a letter to the
Christians of Najran inviting them to accept Islam. As their response,
the Christians sent fourteen representatives to study the facts of
Islam. After discussion and disputes, the Christians declared
"Mubahala". This word is taken from the Arabic root "Bahlah" meaning
curse. So the word means to curse each other. From both sides they
were to bring their closest kin and friends to pray to Allah to curse
the other. On the 24th Zilhajj Prophet Mohammed left his house with
Imam Ali, Hassan, Hussain, and his daughter Fatima. With the Holly
Prophet they prayed to Allah. When the Christians saw who the Prophet
brought, they refrained from the "Mubahala". The Prophet gave them two
choices: accepting Islam as their religion or come to certain terms.
They agreed to certain terms such as signing a peace treaty and paying
an annual fee.
