ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh
every word he said especially when he offered them the option of killing his dear nephew
if his saying would be false. He would never say that unless he was certain about the
result without any doubt at all. If his nephew was true when he told him that Allah had
revealed to him about the termite and the document, so he would be a prophet chosen by
Allah to guide His people and then Abu Talib had to follow him and to support him until the
last moment of his life but if he was a liar then he would deserve to be killed for he had
ascribed a lie to Allah. If the support of Abu Talib was not for the sake of the religion and
the mission away from the kinship, he wouldnt challenge them by giving them the
option to do to Muhammad whatever they liked but if his support was because of the
kinship, Muhammad was still his nephew whether he was truthful or a liar. But since Abu
Talibs enthusiasm was for the sake of the mission and the Lord of the Heaven, he said
so that he was certain about the result and that was an evidence of his faith in the
Prophet (s). When the blockade was cancelled and the Hashemites left the Shib
victoriously whereas the other side appeared to be unjust and oppressive, Abu Talib
seized the opportunity to mention this event in his poetry: In the matter of the document
an example was! Would be astonished whoever was told of. From it Allah removed their
unbelief and impiety, and the rightness they denied certainly would appear! Whatever
they said became false, whoever said but truthfulness certainly he would lie.[194] Abu
Talib in his verses considered what happened to the document of the blockade by the
termite as a divine example and warning that made the souls astonished. What happened
invited them to believe in the divine mission, to give up injustice, oppression, unbelief and
impiety and to be away from the bad party spirit. He said that whatever rightness the
Prophet (s) invited them for would never be hidden and as long as they didnt deny save
the rightness so whatever they did was null because there would be nothing instead of
rightness save deviation. Abu Talib had another poem about this very subject. He
mentioned what Allah had done with the document and then he talked about their (the
Hashemites) glorious past and their shining present with this great Prophet (s). We
quoted from it some verses that might not be arranged as the origin: I wish one could
reach our companions[195] though far they are, to tell them what our God, the Most
Merciful, has done! To tell them that the document was eaten! All what Allah doesnt
accept will be null. The best of the peoples, when masters are considered, Ahmad is! The
Prophet of God, the generous in lineage and morals, the prudent, the favored. He is brave
against disasters as a shining star! He is from the generous of Luay bin Ghalib, never
