Abu Talib A Disbeliever - Giving Dawah To Shia

The document discusses whether Abu Talib, the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad, was a believer or disbeliever. It presents several sahih hadith from Bukhari and Muslim that indicate Abu Talib died as a disbeliever. It then addresses arguments from Shia sources claiming Abu Talib recited the Islamic declaration of faith on his deathbed, and refutes these claims by analyzing the reliability of the narrators and contradictions with stronger hadith evidence. The document concludes by stating the hadith establish Abu Talib died as a disbeliever according to the principles of hadith scholarship.

Giving Dawah to Shia


Defending Sunnah Against The Accusations of Shia

Abu Talib a disbeliever


6 Votes

Many shia’s claim from sunni sources that Abu Talib was a firm believer. He recited kalima on his
death bed etc. etc.

So lets see what is the truth according to sunni hadith science.

First of all let me quote you sahih hadith:

1. Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 442; Al-Janaa’iz

Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab from his father:

When the time of the death of Abu Talib approached, Allah’s Apostle went to him and found Abu
Jahl bin Hisham and ‘Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira by his side. Allah’s Apostle said to
Abu Talib, “O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, a sentence with which I
shall be a witness (i.e. argue) for you before Allah. Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said, “O
Abu Talib! Are you going to denounce the religion of Abdul Muttalib?” Allah’s Apostle kept on
inviting Abu Talib to say it (i.e. ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’) while they (Abu
Jahl and Abdullah) kept on repeating their statement till Abu Talib said as his last statement that
he was on the religion of Abdul Muttalib and refused to say, ‘None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah.‘ (Then Allah’s Apostle said, “I will keep on asking Allah’s forgiveness for you unless I am
forbidden (by Allah) to do so.” So Allah revealed (the verse) concerning him (i.e. It is not fitting for
the Prophet and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans
even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of the fire
(9.113).

2. Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 413; Kitab Al-Iman

Ibn ‘Abbas reported: The Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: Among the inhabitants of the
Fire Abu Talib would have the least suffering, and he would be wearing two shoes (of Fire) which
would boil his brain.

& more sahih ahadith with almost same conclusion…

{If any weak report contradicts this sahih hadith of bukhari then that weak hadith should be
rejected}

Now lets start what shia try to compose from other sunni sources but half-quoting  skipping what
sunni ulema said:

Abu Talib Recited Kalima At His Death Bed, Al-bayhaqi Also Declares:
& Ibn Ishaq says

that while dying Abu Talib’s lips were in motion. al-Abbas who was

till then a nonbeliever, put his ear to his lips and then said to the

Prophet that he was reciting the KALIMA the Prophet had wanted of him.

Ibn Hisham, Cairo Edition, p 146

Reply: That hadith contains a narrator from the family of Abbas bin Abdullah who is unknown.

After narrating that hadith, Bayhaqi said that the hadith is munqati’ (disconnected). Then he said
Abbas (ra) was not muslim at that time. Then he said the proven hadith is that which states that
ABu Talib is in hell, (narrated by Abdullah bin Harith from Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (ra) ).
All these said by Bayhaqi in the same page posted above.

This verse was not revealed for Abu Talib. How can this be established?

….

1:-The chapter speaks of the events that took place during the campaign of Tabuk, which was
during the month of Rajab in the ninth Year. The Prophet ( saw ) had ordered Abu Bakr to
announce first part of it during the days of the pilgrimage of that year when he sent him as an ‘
Amir Al Hajj ‘. Then he sent Imam Ali to take that part from him and announce it, because God
commanded him that no one should deliver the revelation other than himself or a man from the
members of his House. The chapter speaks of the events that took place during the campaign of
Tabouk, which was during the month of Rajab in the ninth Year.

The Messenger of Allah sendAbu Bakr to the people of Mecca with the Chapter of al-Bara’ah and
when he proceeded, (the Prophet) sent for him and asked him to return the chapter and said: “No
one takes it to them except one of my Ahlul-Bayt.” and thus he sent Ali for this mission.”

– Al Nisai in his Khasais al Awliyah, p 20

– Fadhail al Khamsah, v 2 p 343

– Siratun Nabi by Shibli Numani, v 2 p 239

Reply: Well its actually very simple. Not all of Surah Bara’ah revealed at once. It was revealed at
different times. And this is the case with most of the surah. And many a times a verse revealed on
two different occassions. And many a time a verse would revealed but only few peolple come to
know about it. But later on when Prophet (pbuh) recite it in public then people took it to mean
that this was the occassion of its revelation. All these possibilities are well known and given in the
books of Science of Quran. The author of the article must be decieving.

Then Shibli Numani further writes

But from a traditionist’s point of view this report of Al Bukhari is

not worthy taking as reliable because the last narrator is Musaiyyab

who embraced Islam after the fall of Mecca, and was not himself

present at the time of Abu Talib’s death. It is on this account that

al Aini in his commentary has remarked that this tradition is MURSAL

(Al Aini, Chapter Janaiz or Funeral, VOL IV, p 200 ).

Reply: This is incorrect analogy, because maraseel of Sahaba is Hujjah accoring to Ahlus Sunnah.

Also, Musayyib was from Banu Makhzum, and the chiefs of the Quraish who were present with
Abu Jahl were also from Banu Makhzum. So it might be that he was one of them. Abu Jahl died as
Kaffir but Musayyib accepted islam later on. Mussayyib accepting Islam later on doesn’t mean he
could not have heard it when he was not a muslim. He was present with Abu Jahl at that time.
Later on when he accepted islam, he informed about it. This is what Ibn Hajar said in Fath Al-Bari.

As for the saying of Al-Ayni that this is mursal, Ibn Hajar said its not correct and explain further…

،‫ ألنه استدل بأن المسيب على قول مصعب من مسلمة الفتح‬،‫ هذا الحديث من مراسيل الصحابة فمردود‬:‫وأما قول بعض الشراح‬
‫ فأيا ما كان فلم يشهد وفاة أبي طالب ألنه توفي هو وخديجة في أيام متقاربة‬:‫ قال‬،‫وعلى قول العسكري ممن بايع تحت الشجرة‬
‫ ووجه الرد أنه ال يلزم من كون المسيب تأخر إسالمه أن ال‬.‫ والنبي صلى اهلل عليه وسلم يومئذ نحو الخمسين انتهى‬،‫في عام واحد‬
‫ وعجب من هذا القائل كيف يعزو كون‬،‫يشهد وفاة أبي طالب كما شهدها عبد اهلل بن أبي أمية وهو يومئذ كافر ثم أسلم بعد ذلك‬
‫المسيب كان ممن بايع تحت الشجرة إلى العسكري ويغفل عن كون ذلك ثابتا في هذا الصحيح الذي شرحه كما مر في المغازي‬
‫واضحا‬

Abu Talib made great sacrifices for the Prophet none can deny that. He

would even sacrifice his own children for his sake. For his sake he

had exposed himself to the odium of the whole country, and for his

sake he had passed years in state of siege, suffering starvation as an

exile, unprovided with food or drink. Will all this love, sacrifice

and devotion go unrewarded ?

Reply: Well this argument can be applied to tons of people. However, all these sacrifices will
benefit Abu Talib, and that is considered exception only for Abu Talib…

It is reported on the authority of ‘Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib that he said: Messenger of Allah, have
you benefited Abu Talib in any way for he defended you and was fervent in your defence? The
Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: Yes; he would be in the most shallow part of
the Fire: and but for me he would have been in the lowest part of Hell. (Book #001, Hadith #0408)

Abdullah b. al-Harith reported: I heard Abbas say: I said: Messenger of Allah, verily Abu Talib
defended you and helped you; would it be beneficial for him? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes; I
found him in the lowest part of the Fire and I brought him to the shallow part. (Book #001, Hadith
#0409)

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: A mention was made of his uncle Abu Talib before the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) He said: My intercession may benefit him on the Day of
Resurrection and he may be placed in the shallow part of the Fire which would reach his ankles
and his brain would be boiling. (Book #001, Hadith #0411)

Ibn ‘Abbas reported: The Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: Among the inhabitants of the
Fire Abu Talib would have the least suffering, and he would be wearing two shoes (of Fire) which
would boil his brain. (Book #001, Hadith #0413)

– asking God to forgive a deceased usually takes place at the time of the

funeral prayer. The wording of the verse ‘ It is not permissible to the

Prophet and the believers to ask God to forgive the pagans ‘ , indicates

that the Prophet was with other believers ( in a congregational prayer )

when he asked forgiveness for the pagans.

– as a matter of fact, the funeral prayer was not instituted before the

Hijrah (migration to Medina). The first prayer offered by the Messenger for

a deceased was his prayer for Al Bura Ibn Maarour.

it is likely that this verse was revealed after the Prophet offered a

funeral prayer for one of the hypocrites who used to pretend Islam and

conceal paganism. It is very likely that the verse was revealed when the

Holy Prophet ( saw ) offered a funeral prayer for Abdullah bin Obai bin

Salool who died during the ninth year and who was well noted in his

hypocrisy, his hatred towards the Messenger of Allah and his adversary to

the faith of Islam. About him and his followers, the Chapter of Al

Munafiqoon ( the Hypoctites ) was revealed before that time. Had historians

and hadith recorders thought with some depth and logic, they would not have

commited this terrible historical error

– asking God to forgive a deceased usually takes place at the time of the

funeral prayer. The wording of the verse ‘ It is not permissible to the

Prophet and the believers to ask God to forgive the pagans ‘ , indicates

that the Prophet was with other believers ( in a congregational prayer )

when he asked forgiveness for the pagans.

Reply: This is an amazing analogy and the whole argument is based on this analogy that bcause
Quran command for Prophet and believers not do Istighfar for Kafir, then it means they must be
praying funeral prayer. Wow.. It means Prophet and Believer couldn’t do Istighfar alone.

Whole agument is based on this analogy, hence no need to reply it further.

By the way Prophet [s] also prayed for Najashi in Mecca.

But where is the fault in the Hadeeths? The verse cited from Surah Qasas,

was revealed at least ten (10) years before Surah Baarat, and that it was

revealed in Mecca, where as Surah Baarat was revealed in Medina. Please

think about it, and you shall find out that in a futile effort to discredit

Abu Talib and declare him as an unbeliever, the order of the revelation of

the Quran was not taken into consideration. Just imagine the time gap in

between the revelation of the two chapters, and the matter will be very

clear.

Reply: How amazing the order of the revelation (which verse revealed at which time) are known
through these type of Hadith. It is not written in the Mushaf that this verse was revealed at this
date and this at that, it is these type of hadith and meaning of the verse which give us the idea
about the time of revelation of a particular narration.

SO, Hadith of Musayyib and other indicates that 28:56 and 9:113 revealed at some specific time as
in hadith.

Also history tells us that Al Musaiyab

– disliked Imam Ali

– refused to say the funeral prayers for the grandson of Imam Ali,

and the son of Imam Hussain, Imam Zainul Abidin

Sunni Reference

– Sharah of Ibn al Hadid, v 1 p 370

One could conclude that this fabrication was done to simply elevate Umayad

over Hashimites.
Reply: From when Ibn Abil Hadid became “Sunni”????

Also I came across a very ashtonishing commentary, by the most reverred

Sunni commentator, Fakr ar Din Al Razi in his Tafseer, with reference to

Surah Qasas (28:56). He has mentioned this verse about Abu Talib, * not *

because of his personal opinion; because of the opinion of some other

scholars ‘. Surprisingly, he admits, that this verse could not be

associated with Abu Talib’s beliefs …

Reference: Tafseer Kabir, v 25 p 3 ( Fakhr ar Din al Razi )

Reply: This is how these self-declared scholars misguide unlearned people. This is what Ar-Razi
said..


هذه اآلية ال داللة في ظاهرها على كفر أبي طالب‬
“In apparent of this verse there is no proof for the disbelief of Abu Talib”

He is just saying one cannot prove kufr of Abu Talib just by looking at the verse. It is obvious as
the verse 28:56 doesn’t mention anything about kufr or shirk unlike 9:113. But by looking at other
factors there remains no doubt, and that is why just after this statement Razi mention the
conclusion of different factors in the words of a scholar..

‫ أجمع المسلمون على أنها نزلت في أبي طالب وذلك أن أبا طالب قال عند موته يا معشر بني عبد مناف أطيعوا محمدًا‬: ‫قال الزجاج‬

‫ فقال عليه السالم « يا عم تأمرهم بالنصح ألنفسهم وتدعها لنفسك! قال فما تريد يا ابن أخي؟ قال أريد‬، ‫وصدقوه تفلحوا وترشدوا‬
‫ قال يا أخي قد علمت أنك‬، ‫ أشهد لك بها عند اهلل تعالى‬، ‫ فإنك في آخر يوم من أيام الدنيا أن تقول ال إله إال اهلل‬، ‫منك كلمة واحدة‬
‫صادق ولكني أكره أن يقال جزع عند الموت ولوال أن يكون عليك وعلى بني إبيك غضاضة ومسبة بعدي لقلتها وألقررت بها عينك‬
‫ ولكني سوف أموت على ملة األشياخ عبد المطلب وهاشم وعبد مناف‬، ‫» عند الفراق لما أرى من شدة وجدك ونصحك‬

“Az-Zujaj said: “Muslims are agreed upon that this verse was revealed regarding Abu Talib….(then
he mention the story of death of Abu Talib)”.”

Even if Abu Talib (as) said that, “I am on the religion of Abdul-Muttalib”, the question is whose
religion was Abdul-Muttalib following?

There is no doubt that Abdul-Muttalib (as) followed the religion of Ibrahim (as) and the biggest
testimony is the event of the elephants, which Abraha had brought to destroy the Ka’bah. Abdul-
Muttalib (as) prayed to Allah (SWT) to protect the Holy Ka’bah from being destroyed and when he
(as) confronted Abraha – he (as) simply asked him to release his livestock. Abraha was shocked. He
said, “You are the chief of this tribe and I expected you to plead to me NOT to destroy the
Ka’bah”. Abdul-Muttalib (as) said, “I am the owner of these animals and have therefore come to
ask for them. As for the Ka’bah, its Master is there to protect it”. So if Abu Talib had said that he
(as) followed the religion of

Abdul-Muttalib (as) – how can he (as) become a pagan?

Reply: Abu Jahl and chiefs of mecca were well aware of the religion of Abdul Muttalib when they
were telling Abu Talib to not leave the religion of Abdul-Muttalib. Prophet (pbuh) was well aware
of the religion of Abdul-Muttalib when he, instead of saying “ok, stick to hanif faith of Abdul-
Muttalib”, was requeting Abu Talib to accept Islam.

Besides, pagans of mecca also used to believe in one supreme God, but they had associated small
gods with Him as partner. Try to read Surah An’am to know about the faith of pagans of mecca.

And Don’t Forget That:-

Abu Talib recited the nikah of Prophet(s) .Abu Talib addresses the men of Quraysh, who were
present at the marriage ceremony as follows:

Praise be to Allah Who made us from the seed of Abraham and progeny of

Ishmael. He granted as a Sacred house and a place of pilgrimage. He

made us to dwell in a secure sanctuary (haram), to which the fruits of

everything are brought. He made us, moreover, arbiters in men’s

affairs, and blessed for us this land in which we dwell.

Then he said:

Were Muhammad (pbuh&HF), the son of my brother ‘Abdullah son of Abdul

Muttalib ‘, to be weighed any man among the Arabs, he would excel him.

Nor would any man be comparable to him. He is peerless among men, even

though he is a man of little welath. Yet riches are only transient


possesions, and an epheramel security. He has expressed a desire for

Khadijah, and she likewise has shown interest in him. As for any bride

gift (mahr) you demand, both the part to be presented now and the one

presented at a later date – it will be of my own wealth.

Reference:

– Seerah al-Halabiyyah, vol 1 p 139


Reply: Al-Halabi qoute it from “Abul Husain Al-Faris and other”. He said in “Seerah” under the title
of “marriage of Khadija bint Khuwilad ibn Asad ibn Abdul ‘Uzza ibn Qussi“,

،‫ وزرع إسماعيل‬،‫ الحمد هلل الذي جعلنا من ذرية إبراهيم‬:‫وذكر أبو الحسين بن فارس وغيره أن أبا طالب خطب يومئذ فقال‬
،‫ أي القائمين بخدمته‬:‫ وسّو اس حرمه‬،‫ أي المتكفلين بشأنه‬:‫ وجعلنا حضنة بيته‬،‫ أي أصله‬:‫ وعنصر مضر‬،‫ أي معدنه‬: ‫وضئضيء معّد‬
‫ ثم إن ابن أخي هذا محمد بن عبد اهلل ال يوزن به رجل إال رجح به شرفا‬.‫ وجعلنا حكام الناس‬،‫ وحرما آمنا‬،‫وجعله لنا بيتا محجوجا‬
،‫ وهو واهلل بعد هذا له نبأ عظيم‬،‫ وعارية مسترجعة‬،‫ وأمر حائل‬،‫ فإن المال ظل زائل‬، ‫ وإن كان في المال قّل‬،‫ونبال وفضال وعقال‬
‫ أي‬:‫ وقد بذل لها من الصداق ما عاجله وآجله اثنتي عشرة أوقية ونشا‬،‫ وقد خطب إليكم رغبة في كريمتكم خديجة‬،‫وخطر جليل‬
‫ أي فيكون جملة الصداق‬:‫ أي وكانت األواقي والنش من ذهب كما قال المحب الطبري‬،‫ أربعون درهما‬:‫وهو عشرون درهما واألوقية‬
‫ أي كما تقدم‬،‫ وقيل أصدقها عشرين بكرة‬.‫خمسمائة درهم شرعي‬

Now either its proven or not it doesn’t matter, because reciting Khutbah of Nikah is not from the
pillars of the Nikah. Even according to Shia it is not a condition for the Marriage to be Valid. Let
me go in some details.

I am qouting below from famous shia site http://www.al-islam.org from a book “Temporary
Marriage in Islamic Law” by Sachiko Murata.

Following is mention…

I. The Pillars Of The Marriage Contract

Marriage has a set number of pillars, two according to the Shi’is, three according to the Malikis
and Hanafis, and four according to the Hanbalis and Shafi’is. All schools agree on the first two
pillars, ‘formula’ and ‘persons’.

Lets see what are these pillars. Qouting from the book…

A. The Formula (sigha)

Marriage is legalized by a contract (‘aqd), which, like all other contracts in Islam, consists of a
declaration (ijab) and an acceptance (qabul). The woman declares that she is entering into a
relationship of marriage with the man, and he accepts her as his wife.

B. The Persons (mahall)

The man and woman must be free of all shar’i hindrances to their marriage, as explained below.
The identity of the spouses must be clearly specified.

C. Guardianship (wilaya)

The legal guardian in the marriage contract may be the father, the father’s father (Hanafi, Shafi’i,
Shi’i), the executor of the father’s will concerning the marriage (wasi), the governor of the town
(hakim) in case of the nonexistence of the others (Hanbali), and the owner of a slave
(Maliki)………..In the Shi’i and Hanafi schools the presence of the guardian is required only at the
marriage contract of a girl not of age, that is, one who has not yet reached puberty (saghira), or of
an incompetent or insane girl or woman of age.

D. Witnesses (Shahid)

The Shafi’i, Hanbali, and Hanafi schools hold that the presence of two witnesses is a pillar of
marriage and that without their presence, the contract is invalid. [37]………The Shi’is maintain
that the presence of one or more witnesses is not a pillar of the contract, so a man and woman
may conclude a contract secretly if they so wish. [39]

I have qouted only necessary part. For detail one can read the book here: http://www.al-
islam.org/al-serat/muta/

So one can see there is NO condition that Khutba should be even recited, forget about the
condition of Khateeb being a Muslim. Nikah is valid even without Khutba as proven above.

Hence in conclusion is fake and has no basis.

The fact Also remains the same that there was no revelation revealed at that time, so how come it
became necessary for Nikah to be valid, specially when its not even against morality and fitrah. In
fact in shi’ism one can marry even secretly. Where is the Khutba?

What About That Hadith In Bukhari:-

Sahih Bukhari:

Volume 2, Book 17, Number 122:

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Dinar:

My father said, “I heard Ibn ‘Umar reciting the poetic verses of Abu Talib: And a white (person) (i.e.
the Prophet)who is requested to pray for rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the
guardian of widows.” Salim’s father (Ibn ‘Umar) said, “The following poetic verse occurred to my
mind while I was looking at the face of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) while he was praying for rain. He did
not get down till the rain water flowed profusely from every roof-g utter: And a white (person)
who is requested to pray for rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the guardian of widows
. . .And these were the words of Abu Talib.

Reply: Is it necessary that one must be a Muslim to love his family, his tribe? Is this the argument?
“Love of the Prophet [pbuh] ” is part of Eeman, NOT that its the ONLY part of Eeman. Love of the
Prophet [pbuh] is not only criteria of salvation.

And by qouting the above hadith the argument is this that Allah accepted the prayer of Abu Talib,
then I would say its a weak argument again. Lets see…


َف ِإ َذ ا َرِك ُب وا ِف ي اْلُف ْلِك َد َع ُو ا اَهَّلل ُم ْخ ِلِص يَن َلُه الِّد يَن َف َلَّم ا َن َّج اُه ْم ِإ َلى اْلَب ِّر ِإ َذ ا ُه ْم ُي ْش ِر ُكوَن‬
65. And when they mount upon the ships they pray to Allah, making their faith pure for Him only,
but when He bringeth them safe to land, behold! they ascribe partners (unto Him), [Quran 29:65]

There many verses in Quran similar to this.

So we see that, Allah accaepts Du’a whenever one calls him with pure faith, even a disbeliever.
Hence the argument has no scholarly basis.

Let’s Finish This Now:-


“Some Nasibis believe that in the beginning the Prophet (saws) was a Kaafir. Then Allah (swt)
guided him and made him a Prophet. Allamah Qalbee says, “This verse that you were saved means
that he was misguided, the Kaafir people had made him a Kaafir. Then Allah (swt) guided him to
the path of Tauheed. Allamah Sudi states that the Prophet (saws) followed the faith of his Kaafir
people for forty years”.

Tafsir al Kabir by Fakhradin al Razi, page 424 Volume 8 paragraph 30

Reply: Ar-Razi did not mention “Nasibi”, he used the word “‫ ”بعض الناس‬meaning “some people”.
Hence its a false attribution on Fakhruddeen Ar-Razi.

Also, when a person became Muslim then his all the past sins not included in his ‘Amal, and the
person becomes pure from the sins like a newly born child. This is something well known in Ahle
SUnnah, May be not in Shi’ism as in this case they would have to recheck their belief regarding
“Tulaqa” (those who accepted Islam after Fath), and we know according to shi’ism most of them
were Munafiq.

Anyways, after mentioning that, Razi said that the view of the Majority of scholars is that the
Prophet [pbuh] never did Kufr during his whole life even for a while. He said,

‫وأما الجمهور من العلماء فقد اتفقوا على أنه عليه السالم ما كفر باهلل لحظة واحدة‬

And this is what we believe. Prophet was on Fitrah before his Prophethood and never did Kufr, as
Allah protected him from all types of Kufr.
Abu Talib moved his lips as he was about to die. Abbas then

heard what he uttered, and he said to the Prophet that Abu Talib

had uttered the KALIMA that was required by you.


Tarike Abul Fida, V 1 p 120

….

Ibn Ishaq says that while dying Abu Talib’s lips were in motion. Abbas

who was an unbeliever till then put his ear to the lips and then said

to the Prophet that he was reciting the KALIMA the Prophet had wanted

of him.-

Ibn Hisham, Cairo Edition, p 146 ( as quoted by Shibli Numani )

By Allah, he has uttered the word which you requested, O Messenger of Allah!.

-Dalail al-Nubuwwah by al-Bayhaqi, vol 2 p 101

– Ibn Hisham, Cairo Edition, p146 as quoted in Siratun Nabi, by Shibli Numani, v1, pp 219-220

Reply: All are same narration repeated in different books and replied earlier.

Also in books, 

it is related that the Prophet (saw) stood at the

funeral of Abu Talib and said:

You have indeed acted kindly to your next of kin;

may you be well rewarded, O uncle

Dalail al-Nubuwwah by al-Bayhaqi, vol 2 p 101

Ibid, vol 2 p 103

History of Ibn Katheer, vol 3 p 125

al Isaba, vol 4 p 116

Tadhkirat Sibt, p 2

– History of Yaquubi, vol 2 p26

Reply: Again what is the argument?

Besides, Ibn Hajar after qouting this narration with other narration, which was qouted by a Rafidi
to prove Islam of Abu Talib, declared all of them “Wahiyah”..

blinded so much that even if you see a white cloth you will stil argue and try to convince
others that its black. And your automatic response when you have no evidence is call

Lol he can’t say. TAQIYYAH


nasserjilanee on August 23, 2012 at 8:15 PM

Is it very important for today’s Muslims to determine whether Abu Talib was a Muslim or
not? Allah Subhanwataala knows best. How can we say for sure about Abu Talib’s fate?
Based on the hadiths which were written down after hundreds of years of Abu Talib’s
death it is not possible for us to affirm any of the position in certainty. Allah will not ask us
about our beliefs regarding Abu Talib. So these meaningless arguments should be
avoided. We should concentrate on how to strengthen our imaan and purify our amaal. Al
Quran and Sahih Hadiths concerning our duties and responsibilities should be focused on.
We are in no position to pass judgements on Abu Talib’s fate and we are not required to
do this.

If Abu Talib chose to die on Abdul Mutalib’s religion, It meant Prophet’s grand father and
father were Kafir too? Imam Bukhari was non arab and came from bukhara. He memorized
close to 40000 ahadeez and prayed 2 rakat salat for every hadeez’s validity. Bukhari is not
Quran. He was not even sure about the validity of his ahadeez and he had to pray.

It appears that the author wants to condemn Abu Talib to hellfire! His personal desire to
refute Shi’ia position seem to have gotten the better or him. Allah knows best!
