ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh
him be a man I pray Allah to protect him from the evil of every spiteful and every
envier.[100] Abdul Muttalib took much care of this orphan (Muhammad) and tried his best
to bring him up. He looked at this boy with a deep inspective look piercing through the
future and seeing that this orphan would make the earth; east or west, submit to his
greatness and would make the hearts pulse with his love and follow his mission and the
tongues speak of him and praise him with the signs of honoring constantly. A carpet was
spread for Abdul Muttalib, the respected leader, the glorified man among Quraysh and
the obeyed chief among the Arabs, around the Kaaba and he was surrounded by the
chiefs of Quraysh but no one of them could tread on an end of his carpet rather than to sit
with him upon it. But this orphan child came, with his ambition and determination,
overstepping all of the people to sit beside his grandfather or sometimes he might
precede and sit in his grandfathers place and when his grandfather came and they
wanted to make this orphan away from his place, Abdul Muttalib would scold whoever
dared to put this great child aside! Once he said: Leave him alone! He will be of great
importance. Abdul Muttalib seated this orphan child beside him and patted on his back

sit! He feels that he will be an important man. I hope that he will reach a high glory that no
one of the Arabs had reached before him no any one will reach after him. A third time
he said: Return my son to my seat! He forefeels of a great rule. He will be of great
importance.[101] Once he recommended Abu Talib to take care of him: O Abu Talib,
this boy will be of great importance! Protect him and keep to him. Be as mother to him.
Dont let anything bad happen to him.[102] Abdul Muttalib was not of those, who spoke
at random, nor would he ramble or rave with what he didnt know. He knew well that his
grandson would have a great standing and what a standing it would be! There were
many evidences showed that Abdul Muttalib had predicted with his sharp insight that his
grandson would be of great importance. In fact his own life and honest conduct was one
of those evidences of the importance of his grandson. He was certain of what he had
predicted for all the surroundings and phenomena certified his feeling. Some people of
Midlaj,[103] who knew about archeology, said to Abdul Muttalib: Take much care for
Muhammad. We havent seen any foot more similar to the foot (of Abraham) in the
shrine.[104] When Sayf bin Thi Yazn al-Himyari became the king of Abyssinia two years
