Hadith 132

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq, from Bakr Bin Muhammad Al Azdy, ‘From Is’haq son of Ja’far-asws, from his father-asws, he said, ‘It was said to him-asws, ‘They are claiming that Abu Talib-asws was a Kafir’. He-asws said: ‘They are lying! How can he-as happen to be a Kafir and he-as is saying (in his-as couplet): ‘Are you not knowing what we have found Muhammad-saww as being a Prophet-saww like Musa-as, written in the former Books? ’
And in another Hadeeth: ‘How can Abu Talib-asws happen to be a Kafir and he-as is saying (in his-as couplet): ‘They have known that our son-saww does not lie in front of us, nor can he-saww be faulted as being with false words, and the white cloud quenched by his-saww direction, a protector of the orphans and chastity of the widows’’.
