Hadith 136

w said to me-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! Prepare for me-saww similar to that food and drink’. I-asws prepared it and went to them with his-saww message. They came to it. When they had eaten and drunk, Rasool-Allah-azwj stood up to speak, but Abu Lahab-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la objected to him-saww. He-asws said: ‘Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as said to him-la: ‘Be quiet, O one-eyed! What are you-la and this? ’ Then Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as, said: ‘No one will stand up! ’ So, they sat down. Then he-as said to the Prophet-saww: ‘Stand, O my-as master-saww, and speak with whatever you-saww like to and deliver the Message of your-saww Lord-azwj, for you-saww are the truthful, the ratified’. He-asws said: ‘He-saww said to them: ‘What is your view if I-saww were to say to you that behind this mountain there is an army wanting to raid upon you all, will you ratify me-saww? ’ All of them said, ‘Yes, you-saww are the trustworthy, the truthful! ’ He-saww said to them: ‘Then profess the Oneness of Allah-azwj, the Subduer, and worship Him-azwj with the sincerity and put away these filthy idols, and acknowledge and testify that I-saww am Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj to you all, and to the creatures, for I-as have come to you with honour of the world and the Hereafter! ’
He-asws said: ‘They arose and left, all of them, and it was as if the preached had worked among them’’. [217]
So, for that as well is what Al Himeydi mentioned in Kitab ‘Al Jam’a Bayn Al Sahiheyn’, in (the book) ‘Musnad’ of Abdullah Bin Umar, in the eleventh Hadeeth from the numbering of Al Bukhari, sad, ‘And Umar Bin Hamza said, from Salim, from his father who said, ‘Some the words of the poets would be mentioned and I was looking at the face of the Prophet-saww, and he-saww was praying for rain, and did not descend until every spout crackled. So, from that is, ‘And the white cloud quenched by his-saww direction, nourishing the orphans (and) chastity of the widows’. And it is the word of Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as’’. [218]
And it has been brought out by the chain from the Hadeeth of Abdul Rahman Bin Abdullah Bin Dinar, from his father who said, ‘I heard Ibn Umar assimilate with the poem of Abu Talib-asws where he said, and mentioned the couplet, and it is a famous poem between the reporters of Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as, and it is this: ‘By my-as life! I-as had encumbered along with Ahmad-saww and love him-saww with the love of the beloved, continuous’ – up to the end of the couplets’’. [219]
And from that is what is reported by Al Sa’alby in his Tafseer who said, ‘Regarding the interpretation of Words of the Exalted: And they are forbidding from it and are distancing from it, and they are only destroying themselves, and they are not realising [6: 26] – From Abdullah Bin Abbas who said, ‘Quraysh gathered to Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as, and they said to him-as, ‘O Abu Talib-asws! Submit Muhammad-saww to us, for he-saww has spoilt our religion upon us, and he-saww reviles our gods (idols), and these here are our sons in front of you-as, take as a son with whichever of them you-as so like (instead)’. Then they call Amarah Bin Al-Waleed, and he was handsome. He-as said them, ‘Have you ever seen a she-camel lean towards other than her own children. That cannot happen, ever! ’ Then he-as got up from them and entered to see the Prophet-saww. He-as saw him-saww bleak, and he-as had known of the talk of Quraysh. He-as, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as, said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Do not grieve! ’
Then he-as said (prosed): ‘By Allah-azwj! They will never arrive to you-saww, all of them, until I-as lied down in the soil, buried, so proclaim with your-saww matter what is upon you-as, regardless, and give the glad tidings and let the eyes be delighted from you-saww, and you-as called me-as and mentioned that you-saww are an adviser, and you-as have advised, and I-as was a believer from before; and you-saww mentioned a religion, and I-as have known that it is from the best of religions, the righteous religion’’. [220]
And it is reported by Al-Sa’aby, he has agreed upon the correctness of the transmission of these couplets from Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as, and Abdullah Bin Abbas, and Al-Qasim Bin Mahsarah, and Ata’a Bin Dinar. And from that is what is reported by his chain in a book the name of it is ‘Nihayat Al Taloub Wa Gayat Al Saoul’ regarding virtues of Progeny-asws of the Rasool-saww – a man from their scholars and their jurists, a Hanbali of the doctrine, his name is Ibrahim Bin Ali Bin Muhammad Al Dinawari, raising it to Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Abdullah Al Azdy, the jurits, said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Salih who said, ‘It is narrated to me by my father, from Abdul Kareem Al Jarwy. And Al Hassan Bin Ali the mentioned, said, ‘And it is narrated to us as well by Abdullah Bin Umar Al Barqy, from Abdul Kareem Al Jazary, from Tawoos, from Ibn Abbas, and the Hadeeth is long, we have taken from it the needed subject matter, saying in it, ‘The Prophet-saww said to Al-Abbas: ‘Allah-azwj has Commanded me-saww with revealing my-saww matter, and He-azwj Has Informed me-saww and Clarified to me-saww. So, what is with you-as? ’
Al-Abbas said to him-saww, ‘O son-saww of my brother-as! You-saww know that Quraysh are the severest of the people in envy to the children of your-as father-as, and even those these characteristics were the complete greed and the mighty shrewdness, and they would shoot at us from one bow, and they would consider us as one sword. But, go near to your-saww uncle-as Abu T
