Page 49 of 215 Ghaemiyeh center of computerized researches www.Ghaemiyeh.com ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh Prophet (s)[121] and finally, after the death of his father, he was alone with the two tasks; the leadership (of Quraysh) and the taking care of the orphan Muhammad. So he became the only leader and the only guardian without any partner. A splendid past and a bright present formed a virtuous life that produced ripe fruits and spread fragrance that perfumed the space for the friend and the enemy as the sun when sending its rays to the caves and to the tops of mountains. But the colded nose wouldnt smell the redolent fragrance and the sore-eye wouldnt see the rays of the sun! Leadership and sovereignty wouldnt be gained without plenty of money but although Abu Talib was not so rich, he was the respected leader, the first master and the obeyed chief and this might be the characteristic of Abu Talib alone and no one else other than him.[122] Even though he was empty-handed but he had a great rich spirit. He was so great with his qualities and virtues and no one would ever replace him. He inherited his fathers qualities. He forgave without being asked for and gave open-handedly without considering it as doing favor. He often gave people in spite of that he himself was in need of money. He burdened himself with debts lest he would leave a favor his father used to do before. He began to water the pilgrims as his father had been doing before after he had dug the well of Zamzam. He often added dates and raisins to the water in order to make it taste sweet. Once a difficult year came. Abu Talib became needy. He found himself unable to keep on his tradition. At the same time he wouldnt give up his fathers noble deeds. He borrowed from his brother al-Abbas ten thousand dirhams to be paid back in the next year. The next year came and he couldnt pay his debt back to his brother. He found himself in a bad situation that he might not be able to serve the pilgrims. He decided to borrow fourteen thousand dirhams from his brother again. But al-Abbas in this time wouldnt lend him the money except on a condition that if he couldnt pay the debt in the next year, he would have to give up watering the pilgrims and to let al-Abbas undertake itand it was so.[123] The loss of watering the pilgrims didnt affect his high position nor harmed his leadership that he was the fount of goodness in Mecca and he, whose prayers were always responded to, was the point of connection between the Heaven and the earth. He had so much high qualities that made him a leader surrounded by honor and glory and made him as a fortress that no defame might reach him nor he might be shaken before a wind. His qualities imposed upon us to believe that he had followed the belief of Prophet Abraham (s).[124] The pre-Islamic age with all its filths, evils and sins wouldnt affect him or make him deviate from the right way he had followed.

He still had had his exalted thinking, his high insight, his virtuous soul and all his inherited good qualities. All these made him so strong that he wouldnt be drifted by the sins of the milieu he lived in. Nevertheless he was so firm enough to educate that low society with high lessons of morals and principles. It was so necessary for such a man to be existed in a period between two prophets or after the cease of the divine revelation lest Allah wouldnt be answerable before his people.[125] The existence of Abu Talib after Abdul Muttalib was an inevitable necessity. Such deportment had to be a sign for a divine mission, which would shine to drive the dark cloud prevailing over the existence away. But it might be surprising for those, who used to live under the darkness and that it might be too difficult for them to open their eyes before a bright lamp. There must be a lamp sending a ray as a good omen of shining light later on and there must be a star to guide those, who walked under the darkness of the night lest they fell into an abyss of deviationso there must be one like Abu Talib to be as evidence of Allah before His people. And really he was. He was the educator of Muhammad (s) and one of the signs leading to the near appearing of the prophecy. No one would deny that the personality of Abu Talib had all the qualities of the well-qualified leader, the virtuous aspects and the high excellences, which made him distinguished from all around him and surrounded him with a halo of respect and admiration. He was the fount of goodness and the protective fortress, to which wronged and weak people resorted. He was the generous, from whose hand the destitute ladled. He was the one, whom people entreated when the Heaven held its rain. He was so humane towards his relatives. He hurried to relieve the distressed. He was merciful, pious, generous, determined, eloquent, heartsome, certain, handsome, respected, honored and glorified.[126] He knew much about divine laws. He was of comprehensive knowledge and science. He forbade himself from drinking wine, committing sins[127] and all of the dirt of polytheism and evils of the low milieu around him. His soul was high in a wide exalted horizon flying in a pure space. He was the first one, who enacted the law of (qassama)[128] when Amr bin Alqama was killed. Later on the prophetic Sunna confirmed it.[129] There was a spiritual phenomenon in Abu Talibs life happened during the war of al-Fijar between Hawazin and Kinana.[130] Whenever Abu Talib attended with Muhammad the victory became on the side of Hawazin but whenever he was absent Hawazin would lose much. So Hawazin asked Abu Talib not to be absent in order to obtain victory and he did.[131] Ibn Assakir mentioned in his book that Jalhama bin
