The grandfather of the Muhammad and father of Abdullah, Abd-al-Muttalib, is reported by the Islamic tradition to have almost [[Sacrifice (Qurban)|sacrificed]] Abdullah. According to the tradition, he went to the [[Ka'aba]] in order to engage in ميسر "maisir" or gambling on which one of his 10 children to sacrifice to the pagan god [[Hubal]]. After the die fell on Abdullah, the future father of Muhammad, his daughters implored Abd al-Muttalib to sacrifice 10 camels instead. After repeatedly playing the game of chance again, the dice finally fell on the camels, which he sacrificed, and this was seen as evidence of divine intervention (though, as an example of a theological foible, it is not clear whether the intervening deity is Hubal or Allah). This story is also used to explain Qur'an surah 37 ayahs 106-107, where "him" is in reference to Abdullah.{{Quote|1={{quran-range|37|106|107}}|2=This was certainly an evident test.
