ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh<br />

Imam Sadiq and an-Nafs az-Zakiyya whether in science and knowledge, fidelity,<br />

truthfulness, keeping to the rightness and announcing it. Ibn Abul Hadeed himself knew<br />

this very well, but in spite of all that this letter only that stopped in his chest! A hair of a<br />

camel stopped in his mouth whereas he swallowed camels with their hooves whenever<br />

he liked! Then why didnt the witnesses of Abu Talibs actual son Imam Ali (s) and his<br />

sons of the infallible imams after him, who had much many virtues and qualities that an-<br />

Nafs az-Zakiyya didnt have any of, stop in ibn Abul Hadeeds chest? If an-Nafs az-<br />

Zakiyya was the son (grandson) of Abu Talib and he wouldnt be suspected as ibn<br />

Abul Hadeed said, then would the witnesses of Imam Ali (s) and his infallible sons be<br />

suspected and would they be accused of adding Abu Talib to the Muslims whereas he was<br />

in the list of the unbelievers? Was an-Nafs az-Zakiyya more pious and more truthful than<br />

Imam Ali (s) and the other infallible Imams that an-Nafs az-Zakiyya said what wouldnt<br />

be suspected and these imams said what would be far away from the truth? I myself<br />

didnt think that an-Nafs az-Zakiyya had said this word after showing the evidences<br />

that prevented even the insane and the mad from saying such a thing.[319] If an-Nafs az-<br />

Zakiyya had said it, so what did he mean by saying Abu Talib was the adopter and the<br />

protector of the Prophet (s)? And if he meant what he had said, we wouldnt depend<br />

upon it and leave aside the certain sayings of the infallible imams, who would never be<br />

suspected at all whether in their doings or sayings. Ibn Abul Hadeed said: His time was<br />

near to the time of the Prophet (s) and there was not so long period between them and it<br />

was not possible that the news might be fabricated. Ibn Abul Hadeed depended upon a<br />

saying said by a man after nearly a century and a half since the death of whom it was said<br />

about and didnt depend upon the sayings of the infallible imam, who always and ever<br />

kept to the rightness and who lived with the man, he witnessed to, in one house. Ibn Abul<br />

Hadeed didnt think that the news was fabricated because there was no so long period<br />

as he said whereas he himself showed the lies and the false traditions fabricated during<br />

the time of Moawiya, who was born in the time of the Prophet (s). If the reason was the<br />

length or the shortness of time, we wouldnt find all that fabrications happened during<br />

the age of Moawiya. I dont know how to justify this saying of ibn Abul Hadeed or<br />

what was the reason that made him adopt this thought and what made this saying stop in<br />

his chest rather than the others? But we dont mistrust him as long as (mistrusting the<br />

Muslim is haram) and (the sanctity of the Muslim is greater than the sanctity of the Kaaba)<br />

as al-Ghazali says among what we have quoted in our chapter (At The Threshold) of this
