Hadith 125

And it is informed to me by the sheykhs Muhammad Bin Idrees, and Shazan Bin Jibreel, and Muhammad Bin Ali Al Fuweyqi, by their chains from the sheykh Al Mufeed, raising it, ‘Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-saww, when he-as wanted to go out to Busra (a town of) Syria, left behind Rasool-Allah-saww out of compassion upon him-saww, and he-saww deliberately did not get him-saww to accompany him-as. But when he-as rode, he-as found Rasool-Allah-saww holding on to a rein of his-as camel, and he-saww wept and adjured him-as regarding his-as going out. The cloud shaded them and Baheera the monk met them. He informed them of his-saww Prophet-hood and mentioned the glad tidings being for him-saww in the former Books, and carried food for him-saww and his-saww companions, and the lodgement, and he urged Abu Talib-asws upon returning with him-saww to his-as family and said to him-as, ‘I fear upon him-saww from the Jews, for they are his-saww enemies’. Abu Talib-asws said regarding that (a poem): ‘Surely the son-saww of Aamina-asws, the Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww, in my-as presence is with similar status as my-as children, due to what he-saww is attached with the rein of His-azwj Mercy, and the honour. The provisions have decreased, so turn away the tears being shed from my-as eyes, like the pears being separated individually. I-saww took care of him-saww being a maintenance of kinship, and protected him-saww being a bequest of the ancestors. And I-as instructed him-saww with the travelling between the general people, bright faced, shining glories. They travelled with the good servant, well known fold, and the fold of apostasy had been distanced, until when the people of Al-Busra witnessed, they faced the ambush upon Shirk by good, so he-saww informed them a truthful narration about him-saww, and repelled the envy of the community’’. [200]
My father Ma’ad Bin Fakhar Bin Al Alawi Al Mowsy said, ‘It is informed to me by the captain Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Hamza Al Alawy, by a chain of his to Al Waqidy (wahabi imam), ‘When Abdullah-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib-asws, father-as of the Prophet-saww passed away, and he-saww was a child being breast-fed’, and it is reported that Abdullah-asws passed away and the Prophet-saww was being carried (by her-as mother-as’, ) and this report is correct. When his-saww mother placed him-saww, his-saww grandfather-as Abdul Muttalib-asws took his-saww responsibility for eight years. Then the death presented, so he-as called his-as son-as Abu Talib-asws. He-as said to him-as: ‘O my-as son-as! Take the responsibility of the son-saww of your-as brother-as from me-as, for you-as are an elder of your-as people and their most sensible, and one in whom the argument is found in him-as besides them. And this boy-saww is what the sooth-sayers have narrated about him-saww, and we are reporting in the news that a Prophet-saww would be appearing from Tihama, and signs have been reported regarding him-saww which are found in him-saww. So, be benevolent in his-saww lodging and protect him-saww from the Jews, for they are his-saww enemies’. Abu Talib-asws did not cease to preserve the words of Abdul Muttalib-asws and his-as bequest, and taking care of it’’. [201]
