ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh
after the birth of Muhammad, the delegations of the Arabs set out to congratulate him
after restoring the rule of his ancestors. In the front was the delegation of Quraysh,
whose chief was Abdul Muttalib. Abdul Muttalib stood up to do his speech in front of Sayf.
His speech was a sign of eloquence that made Sayf bow before this nonesuch personality

Those were some evidences Abdul Muttalib saw besides many others that the life of his
grandson was full of. And if there was but one evidence, it would be enough to prove that
his grandson Muhammad was the very one, who would be that expected prophet, about
.whom the divine Books of the previous prophets had talked

Some barren years passed. The rain stopped and the water became rare. The green
grass yellowed and that torrential milk of the udders dried. Life became so difficult. Grief
overcame the faces. Fear of the unknown darkened the eyes. No one was to intercede for
them save Abdul Muttalib. With his great spirit they asked him to intercede with his God.
The heaven rained heavily and life refreshed again. The prayer of the intercessor was
responded by his God to revive those dying souls after the loss of monies and the death
of cattle. A vision in the sleep had led them to this man, who was notable near Allah, to
intercede for them and that his intercession wouldnt be denied. It was a vision that
