ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh<br />

talked about honored qualities and amiable descriptions.[107] Abdul Muttalib, surrounded<br />

by a halo of cadets and groups of phratries of Quraysh, kissed the corner of the Kaaba on<br />

their way to the top of Mountain Abu Qubays. He took his grandson Muhammad with him.<br />

His lips uttered with prayers coming out of a sensitive faithful heart: O <strong>All</strong>ah, these are<br />

your slaves and sons of your slaves and your bondmaids and daughters of your<br />

bondmaids. You see what we are afflicted with. The barren years exhausted us. They did<br />

away with all the cattle and they are about to do with the selves. O <strong>All</strong>ah, take away the<br />

barrenness and bring us rain, fertility and revival! What a truthful prayer it was! As soon<br />

as it ascended to the Heaven, the Beneficent God responded to it. As soon as they left the<br />

mountain, the sky was covered with heavy clouds bearing fertility and revival and driving<br />

away the barrenness. It began to rain and the valleys were filled with goodness. The lips<br />

smiled, the hearts danced and the eyes shined with happinessbut nevertheless some<br />

faces frowned, some lips writhed, some hearts were disgusted and some eyes scattered<br />

rays of grudge! The caravan was about to reach Mecca when a sweet sound came out of<br />

one of the houses of Mecca expressing joy and happiness after <strong>All</strong>ah had responded to<br />

the prayer of Abdul Muttalib. It was Raqeeqa bint Abu Sayfi bin Sham, whose lips<br />

announced her sweet verses: By Shaybatul Hamd[108] <strong>All</strong>ah irrigated our country After we<br />

lost the means of life and the rain retarded much. The valley flowed with water where<br />

cattle and trees revive. It was a blessing of <strong>All</strong>ah and thanks to this man that Mudhar had<br />

never newsed with better than. What a blessed name it was that <strong>All</strong>ah made the clouds<br />

rain for the sake of him, who had no similar among people at all.[109] When it rained, the<br />

valleys were filled with water and the pastures became green but the country of Qayss<br />

and Mudhar had no chance of having a share of that. The clouds didnt water their<br />

lands. Their chiefs and notable men met to discuss the matter. They agreed that no one<br />

but Abdul Muttalib, whom they would resort to. It was he, to whose prayer <strong>All</strong>ah had<br />

responded and watered Mecca from the heaven and the earth.[110] <strong>All</strong>ah wouldnt<br />

refuse a prayer coming out of the heart of this old man, who had a high position near Him.<br />

They said: We have been in such difficulty of living and barrenness. <strong>All</strong>ah has watered<br />

people according to the prayer of Abdul Muttalib so lets go to him that he may pray to<br />

<strong>All</strong>ah to have mercy upon us! They reached Mecca and went to Abdul Muttalib. He<br />

welcomed them. Their speaker stood up to inform Abdul Muttalib of their want by saying:<br />

Barren years have afflicted us and we have heard about your effectiveness and about<br />

what you have done. We have come to you that you may intercede for us with Him, Who
