The grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad, Abd-al-Muttalib, is reported by the Islamic tradition to have also had an almost-sacrifice. 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 as it were 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. This story is thus used to explain Qur'an surah 37 ayahs 106-107 | The grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad, Abd-al-Muttalib, is reported by the Islamic tradition to have also had an almost-sacrifice.
