Asalaam alikum,

Was just passing by when read a thread on the intra faith board, for some reason it did not allow me post a reply there. So I will take this oppertunity to post some of the Hadith regarding the issue of Abu Talib:

 

Vol 2, Book 23. Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz).
Hadith 442. (Shahi Bukhari)

Narrated By 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).

Vol 5, Book 58. Merits Of The Helpers In Madinah :P~
Hadith 223. (Shahi Bukhari)

Narrated By Al-Musaiyab: When ABU TALIB was in his death bed, the Prophet went to him while Abu Jahl was sitting beside him. The Prophet said, "O my uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, an expression I will defend your case with, before Allah." Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Umaya said, "O ABU TALIB! Will you leave the religion of 'Abdul Muttalib?" So they kept on saying this to him so that the last statement he said to them (before he died) was: "I am on the religion of 'Abdul Muttalib." Then the Prophet said, " I will keep on asking for Allah's Forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so." Then the following Verse was revealed: "It is not fitting for the Prophet and the believers to ask Allah's Forgiveness for the pagans, even if they were their near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire." (9.113) The other Verse was also revealed: "(O Prophet!) Verily, you guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will..." (28.56)Vol 5, Book 58. Merits Of The Helpers In Madinah

Hadith 224. (Shahi Bukhari)

Narrated By Abu Said Al-Khudri: That he heard the Prophet when somebody mentioned his uncle (i.e. ABU TALIB), saying, "Perhaps my intercession will be helpful to him on the Day of Resurrection so that he may be put in a shallow fire reaching only up to his ankles. His brain will boil from it."

Vol 5, Book 59.
Hadith 579. (Shahi Bukhari)

Narrated By 'Amr bin 'Uthman: Usama bin Zaid said during the Conquest (of Mecca), "O Allah's Apostle! Where will we encamp tomorrow?" The Prophet said, "But has 'Aqil left for us any house to lodge in?" He then added, "No believer will inherit an infidel's property, and no infidel will inherit the property of a believer." Az-Zuhri was asked, "Who inherited ABU TALIB?" Az-Zuhri replied, "Ail and Talib inherited him."

Vol 6, Book 60. Prophetic Commentary On The Qur'an....
Hadith 197. (Shahi Bukhari)

Narrated By Al-Musaiyab: When ABU TALIB's death approached, the Prophet went to him while Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya were present with him. The Prophet said, "O uncle, say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, so that I may argue for your case with it before Allah." On that, Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abu Umaiya said, "O ABU TALIB! Do you want to renounce 'Abdul Muttalib's religion?" Then the Prophet said, "I will keep on asking (Allah for) forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so." Then there was revealed:

'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)

Vol 6, Book 60. Prophetic Commentary On The Qur'an
Hadith 295. (Shahi Bukhari

Narrated By Al-Musaiyab: When ABU TALIB was on his death bed, Allah's Apostle came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl and Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah's Apostle said, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah." On that Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to ABU TALIB, "Will you now leave the religion of 'Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Apostle kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on repeating their sentence before him till ABU TALIB said as the last thing he said to them, "I am on the religion of 'Abdul Muttalib," and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. On that Allah's Apostle said, "By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed:

'It is not fitting for the Prophet and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans.' (9.113) And then Allah revealed especially about ABU TALIB: 'Verily! You (O, Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will.' (28.56)

Vol 8, Book 73. Good Manners And Form (Al-Adab).
Hadith 227. (Shahi Bukhari)

Narrated By 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith bin Naufal: Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib said, "O Allah's Apostle! Did you benefit ABU TALIB with anything as he used to protect and take care of you, and used to become angry for you?" The Prophet said, "Yes, he is in a shallow place of Fire. But for me he would have been in the lowest part of the Fire."

Vol 8, Book 76.
Hadith 569. (Shahi Bukhari)

Narrated By Abu Said Al-Khudri: I heard Allah's Apostles when his uncle, ABU TALIB had been mentioned in his presence, saying, "May be my intercession will help him (ABU TALIB) on the Day of Resurrection so that he may be put in a shallow place in the Fire, with fire reaching his ankles and causing his brain to boil."
If any respected mamber has any question I will inshallah answer them on my next visit.
