ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh<br />

faithfulness of Abu Talib, your fate will be to Hell.[264] The answer of Imam Reza<br />

showed that doubting about the faithfulness of Abu Talib contradicted believing in the<br />

Prophet (s). He, who doubted about the faithfulness of Abu Talib, would act hostilely to the<br />

Prophet (s) and deviate from the way of guidance after knowing it and whoever deviated<br />

from the right way of guidance would be out of the sphere of faith and then his way would<br />

lead him to Hell. It would be considered as harming the Prophet (s) and harming the<br />

Prophet (s) was a guilt leading to Hell. <strong>All</strong>ah said in the holy Quran: (Surely (as for) those<br />

who speak evil things of <strong>All</strong>ah and His Messenger, <strong>All</strong>ah has cursed them in this world and<br />

the here after, and He has prepared for them a chastisement bringing disgrace) 33:57,<br />

and: (and (as for) those who molest the Messenger of <strong>All</strong>ah, they shall have a painful<br />

punishment) 9:61. The Prophet (s) said in one of his traditions: He, who harms a hair of<br />

mine, harms me and whoever harms me, harms <strong>All</strong>ah.[265] 6. Imam Askari[266] (al-<br />

Hasan bin Ali) said in a long tradition narrated by his grandfathers: <strong>All</strong>ah the Almighty<br />

had revealed to his messenger (Muhammad): (I have assisted you with two groups of<br />

assistants; a group supports you secretly and the other supports you openly. As for the<br />

group that supports you secretly, their master and the best of them is your uncle Abu<br />

Talib but as for the group that support you openly, their master and the best of them is his<br />

son Ali bin Abu Talib. Then he added: Abu Talib is like the believer of the Pharaoh's<br />

people; he keeps his faithfulness secret.[267] One of the two groups had to carry out its<br />

task secretly as long as carrying it out openly was not possible for itlike the support of<br />

the angels as mentioned by the Quran: (and sent down hosts which you did not see)<br />

9:26. (and strengthened him with hosts which you did not see) 9:40. (that your Lord<br />

should assist you with three thousand of the angels sent down) 3:124. (Your Lord will assist<br />

you with five thousand of the havoc-making angels) 3:125. (I will assist you with a<br />

thousand of the angels following one another) 8:9. There are many other verses talking<br />

about this subject. Abu Talib wouldnt be able to support the Prophet (s) unless he kept<br />

his faith secret. He was like the believer of the Pharaohs people, whose story had been<br />

mentioned by the Quran.[268] If the believer of the Pharaohs people hadnt concealed<br />

his faithfulness, the Pharaoh would have killed Prophet Moses (s). His situation was so<br />

active among his people, who didnt know that he was a believer but they thought that<br />

he was like them. So was the situation of Abu Talib towards the mission of the Prophet (s).<br />

To this meaning Imam Askari referred when he mentioned this tradition narrated by his<br />

fathers, who had ascribed it to the Prophet (s). No one could suspect the sayings of the
