Hadith 109

And it is informed to me by Yahya Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Zayd, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Al Ghanaim, from Al Shareef Ali Bin Muhammad Al Sowfy, from Al Husayn Bin Ahmad Al Basry, from Yahya Bin Muhammad, from his fther, from Abu Ali Bin Hammam, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Fuzary, from Imran Bin Muafa, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Baseer, ‘From Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘Abu Talib-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib-asws passed away as a Muslim, a Momin, and his-as poems in his-as register evidence upon his-as Eman, then his-as loving him-saww, and his-saww upbringing, and helping him-saww, and being inimical to enemies of Rasool-Allah-saww and friendship to his-saww friends, and his-as ratifying him-saww with whatever he-saww had come with from his-saww Lord-azwj. And his-as instructing his-as two sons Ali-asws and Ja’far-as with (announcing to be) Muslims and believing with what he-saww was calling to, and that he-saww is the best of the creatures, and he-saww is calling to the truth, and the straight manifesto, and he-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds. He-as affirmed that in their hearts, so whenever Rasool-Allah-saww called them, they answered him-saww immediately and did not wait due to what their father-as had settled inside them from his-as instructions. They used to contemplate on the deeds of Rasool-Allah-saww and found all of them to be good, calling to the correctness and the rightful guidance. So this suffices you if you are being fair in it, that he-as allowed the like of Ali-asws and Ja’far-as, his-as two sons-as, and in his-as heart they were both at the well-known high status, due to what they were taking with themselves from the obedience to him-saww, and the bravery, and the scarcity of there being any match for them both. They both obeyed Rasool-Allah-saww in whatever he-saww had called them to, from the religion, and the Jihad, and exerted themselves, and being inimical to his-saww enemies, and friendly to his-saww friends, from without they being needy to him-saww neither regarding wealth nor regarding his-saww shelter, nor anything else, because his-as own clan was inimical to him-as. And as for the wealth, so there wasn’t any for him-as, and there did not remain except the desired regarding what he-saww had come with from his-saww Lord-azwj’’. [180]
And the rightly guided Imam-asws from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat be upon them-asws, they-asws were asked about the words of the Prophet-saww, they agreed upon it being unity upon its correctness: ‘I-saww and the guarantor of the orphan would be like these two in the Paradise’. They said, ‘He-saww intended by the guarantor of the orphan, his-saww uncle-as Abu Talib-asws, because he-as had taken his-saww responsibility as an orphan from his-saww parent, and did not cease to be compassionate upon him-saww’’.
