ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh<br />

has responded to you and made the clouds water your people. Next day Abdul Muttalib<br />

went to achieve his promise to them. He went towards Mountain Arafat surrounded by his<br />

sons and people. Among them was his beloved orphan grandson Muhammad. He took his<br />

seat and his honored grandson was in his lab. He raised his hands towards the Heaven.<br />

His eyes shone with faith, his heart pulsed with sincerity and his tongue prayed<br />

submissively: O <strong>All</strong>ah, the God of the swift lightning, the God of the pealing thunder, the<br />

God of the gods and the Solver of the difficulties! These are Qayss and Mudhar,[111] who<br />

are the best among the peoples. Their heads are disheveled and their backs are hunched.<br />

They complain to You their weakness and the loss of selves and monies! O <strong>All</strong>ah, give<br />

them thundering clouds and pouring sky to make their land smile and their damage<br />

disappear! As soon as he uttered these words, a thundering dark cloud was traveling<br />

towards him, as a response for his pray, on its way towards the barren country of those<br />

people. Then Abdul Muttalib said to them: O people of Qayss and Mudhar, go back! You<br />

are watered.[112] Abu Talib began to recite: Our father was the intercessor, by whom<br />

people were watered by heavy thundering clouds. Before they were about to leave the<br />

place, they saw the rain-clouds coming with goodness. Qayss came to us after distress<br />

and disaster after it was bitten by a bad time. They didnt leave until <strong>All</strong>ah watered<br />

their lands responding to Shayba[113] Rains came to turn their lands green.[114] The life of<br />

Abdul Muttalib went on shiningly with the signs of the expected prophet, about whom he<br />

had read in the divine books, and when he knew that it was his grandson, he embraced<br />

him to his chest and became his merciful educator. Abdul Muttalib wouldnt forget this<br />

orphan, who occupied his heart and became more preferable even to his own sons, for a<br />

moment. He wouldnt forget him even in the last moment of his long life, which lasted<br />

for one hundred and twenty years according to one saying and more than eighty-five<br />

according to another saying. When he was dying, he turned his eyes towards his sons,<br />

who surrounded him, to choose one among them in order to entrust him with a task that<br />

busied his mind too much. It was not an ordinary task. He had to choose the most suitable<br />

one for the task to die with delighted eyes. His sight roved here and there until it met Abu<br />

Talib, whom no one was better than to undertake this heavy task, besides that he had<br />

participated in carrying out the task since the light of this shinning lamp had shone: O Abd<br />

Manaf[115] I entrust you with this alone one after me.[116] Abu Talib accepted this task<br />

willingly and delightfully. He recited: You dont need to recommend me to my duty, I<br />

have heard of the most of wonders, from every bishop and scholar. The monks saying-
