quran:96:17 –

Then let him call his associates;

Let him, then, call upon ˹the henchmen of˺ his council, the members of his council (nādin) — a place of assembly where people gather to talk. He ˹Abū Jahl˺ had said to the Prophet (s) in reproof, having forbidden him from prayer, ‘You are well aware that there is none in this ˹town˺ who has ˹recourse to˺ as large a council ˹of men˺ as I do. Verily, I shall fill this ˹entire˺ valley with mature steeds and young men ˹in battle˺ against you if you so wish!’
القرآن:٩٦:١٧ –

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ

{فليدع ناديه} أي أهل ناديه وهو المجلس ينتدى يتحدث فيه القوم وكان قال للنبي ﷺ لما انتهره حيث نهاه عن الصلاة: لقد علمت ما بها رجل أكثر ناديا مني لأملأنَّ عليك هذا الوادي إن شئت خيلا جردا ورجالا مردا.
