Hadith 136

alib-asws, for he-as is the eldest of your-as uncles. If he-as does not help you-saww, he-as (at least) not abandon you-saww nor submit you-saww (to Quraysh)’. They both went to him-as. When Abu Talib-asws saw them, he-as said: ‘There is a thought and a news what you have come with during this time’. Al-Abbas introduced him-as to what the Prophet-saww had said to him, and what Al-Abbas had answered him-saww with. Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as, looked at him-saww, and said to him-saww: ‘Go out, O son-saww of my-saww brother-as, for you-saww are of lofty lineage, and the immune party, and the exalted father-asws. By Allah-azwj! No tongue will hurt you-saww except I-as shall cut the tongues off by blades, and swords of iron would pull them out. By Allah-azwj! The Arabs will be humbled to you-saww humiliation of the animals to their water troughs, and my-as father-as used to recite all the Books, and he-as had said to me-as: ‘There is a Prophet-saww in my-as Sulb, I-as would love to come across that time period and believe in him-saww, so the one from my-as children who comes across him-saww, let him believe in him-saww’’. Then he (the narrator) mentioned the apparent descriptions of their Prophet-saww for the Message, in the flowing speech of Abu Talib-asws for him-saww, and image he witnessed, and he-saww had prayed alone, and Khadeeja-asws had come and she-as prayed Salat with him-saww, then Ali-asws came and prayed with him-saww’’. [221]
And from that is what is mentioned by Al Hanbali, author of the mentioned book, by his chain to Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Mugheira Bin Muaqqib who said, ‘Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as, missed Rasool-Allah-saww, so he-as thought that one of Quraysh may have assassinated him-saww. He-as sent a message to the Clan of Hashim-as. He-as said: ‘O Clan of Hashim-as! I-as think that one of the Quraysh may have abducted Muhammad-saww and killed him-saww, so let each one of you take a large iron knife and sit to the side of a mighty one from the mighty ones of Quraysh. So, when I-as say, ‘Seek Muhammad-saww! ’ Each man from you should kill the man who is to his side’. And it reached Rasool-Allah-azwj the gathering of Abu Talib-asws, and he-saww in a house by Al-Safa. Abu Talib-asws came and he-saww was in the Masjid. When Abu Talib-asws saw him-as, he-as grabbed his-saww hand, then said: ‘O community of Quraysh! I-as missed Muhammad-saww, so I-as thought that one of you may have assassinated him-saww, so I-as instructed every youth present from the clan of Hashim-as that he should take an iron (knife) and each one of them should sit to a mighty one of you. So, when I-as said: ‘Seek Muhammad-saww! ’, each one of the should kill the man who is to his side. Uncover what is in your hands, O Clan of Hashim-as! ’
The Clan of Hashim-as uncovered from what was in their hands. Quraysh looked at that, and at that, Quraysh dreaded Rasool-Allah-saww. The Abu Talib-asws prosed saying: ‘Shall I-as preach to Quraysh where they dwell, and all secrets from them are a deception, for I-as and the blowings of the morning cloud, and the ambassadors do not follow the witnesses, there is a care-taking protector for the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and the affection of the chest from me-as and the conscience. So, I-as wouldn’t be cutting off my-as kinship and my-as son-saww, and even if their injustices flow the repercussions. Is he instructing all of them, sons of Fihr, with killing Muhammad-saww? And the matter is false. So no, neither your father nor Quraysh prevailed, nor did you meet rightful guidance when you consulted. Son-saww of my-as brother-as and the honour of the heart is from me-as, and white is his-saww water, a huge waterfall, and after him-saww the children drank to saturation, and Ahmad-saww had embodied the graves. O son of the pride! Pride of the clan of Qusay! It is as if your-saww forehead is the radiant moon’’. [222]
Then the Seyyid said, , ‘And from that is what is reported by Al Hanbali, author of the book ‘Nihayah Al Taloub Wa Gayat Al Saoul’, by his chain, said, ‘I heard Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as, saying: ‘Muhammad-saww, son-saww of my-as brother-as narrated to me-as, and by Allah-azwj he-saww was truthful. I-as said to him-saww: ‘What have you-saww been Sent with, O Muhammad-saww? ’ He-saww said: ‘With maintaining the kinships, and establishing the Salat, and giving the Zakat’’. [223]
And from that is what is reported by the author of the book ‘Nihayat Al Taloub Wa Gayat Al Saoul’, by his chain to Urwah Bin Umar Al Saqafy who said, ‘I heard Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as say: ‘I-as heard from the son-saww of my-as brother-as, the trustworthy, saying: ‘Be grateful (thank), you will be Graced, and do not disbelieve, you will be Punished’’. [224]
And from that is what is reported by the author of the book ‘Al Mazour’, by his chain to Saeed Bin Jubeyr, from Ibn Abbas having said, ‘Abu Talib-asws was sick, and the Prophet-saww consoled him-as’’. [225]
And from that is what is reported as well by Al Hanbali in the book ‘Al Mushar Ilayhi’, by his chain to Ataam Bin Abu Riyah, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘The Prophet-saww presented at the funeral of Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as. He-saww said: ‘You-saww maintained the kinship, and may Allah-azwj Recompense you-as goodly, O uncle-as! ’’[226]
And from that is what is reported by his chain to Sabit Al Bunany, from is’haq Bin Abdullah Bin Al Haris, ‘From Al-Abbas son of Abdul Muttalib-asws who said, ‘I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! What are your-saww wishes for Abu Talib-asws? ’ He-saww said: ‘
