ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh
him and saw him moving his lips. He listened to him carefully and said (al-Abbas said): O
my nephew! He said the word that you asked him to say.[490] This was a witness by al-
Abbas showing that the last thing Abu Talib had said before dying was the shahada that
the Prophet (s) had asked him for as the tradition said. Those, who thought that the
tradition was true, had to believe in all of the tradition or to throw all of it aside. They
didnt have to choose what agreed with their fancies and to leave what objected their
fancies. 6. If we lowered the curtain upon the confession of Abu Talib, his sayings and
doings, which showed his faith clearly, if we forgot his will before the people of Quraysh
when he was dying and if we ignored the Prophets praying Allah to forgive him, his
witnesses, his loving and loyalty to him, the witnesses of Ahlul Bayt and the witnesses of
the companions like Abu Bakr, Abu Tharr and ibn Abbasif we left all these aside and
submitted to this tradition-after it was refuted by clear evidences-then the very saying of
Abu Talib on the religion of Abdul Muttalib would be a certain evidence proving his
faithfulness. What was this religion of Abdul Muttalib? Wasnt it the religion of Prophet
Abraham (s)? Wasnt Abdul Muttalib on the religion of Allah that He had chosen when He
had sent Abraham as his messenger? Didnt Abdul Muttalib believe in the One and Only
God, the Day of Punishment and in sending his grandson to spread the mission of his
God? Didnt Abdul Muttalib wish, when he was dying, to remain alive until he would
witness the spread of the light and the shining of the sun of his great grandson? But this
was just some ooze that was thrown upon Abu Talib and it hit the Prophets mother
Aamina one time, his father Abdullah another time and his grandfather Abdul Muttalib a
third time. In fact it was the ooze that was thrown upon Ali to defame his high position
because the low would envy whoever was higher than them and consequently they
threw some of that ooze upon his father thinking that they might defeat Ali by defaming
his father and hence no one of these great men was safe from this harm even the
Prophet (s) himself as long as the end would justify the means according to the account of
the enemies of the rightness. Proving the faithfulness of Abdul Muttalib didnt concern
our subject although his faithfulness didnt need to be proved. We mentioned the
evidences of his faithfulness in a previous chapter in this book. There were many detailed
books about this subject. It was mentioned that as-Sayooti had written six books about
the faithfulness of Prophet Muhammads fathers.[491] Abu Talib said on the religion of
Abdul Muttalib in that tradition-if the tradition was real-to mystify the truth before the
people of Quraysh surrounding him. He used this policy to be free in serving the mission
