ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh<br />

he came to tell the Prophet (s) of the sad news. The Prophet (s) instructed him of what to<br />

do. He washed his fathers body (did the ghusl), embalmed it and enshrouded it and<br />

then he escorted his father towards the tomb as the Prophet (s) had ordered him to do.<br />

Would these things have been done for other than the Muslims? I dont know what to<br />

say! Then he saw the Prophet (s) standing in front of his fathers body; praising him<br />

with the best of words, his tears coming down from his eyes and the sighs of pain<br />

stumbling in his chest. Days passed. The Prophet (s) became so distressed. Difficult<br />

conditions surrounded him from every side. He became in a critical situation. He began to<br />

sigh with complaint and pain for the great loss of his kind uncle. The image of Abu Talib<br />

passed by Alis mind. He remembered his fathers brave situations towards the<br />

mission and how he had defended and protected the Prophet (s). His emotions began to<br />

boil and the thorn of his inner pain began to sting him. Tears came down of his eyes while<br />

uttering these verses of poetry: O Abu Talib! The shelter of resorters! The rain for barren<br />

lands! The light in darkness! Losing you undermined us. <strong>All</strong>ah may have mercy upon you!<br />

<strong>All</strong>ah may please you; that you were a good uncle for al-Mustafa.[233] The years passed<br />

and the Umayyads tried their best to fabricated false traditions, whose flames reached<br />

Imam Ali (s). One day Imam Ali was in the yard of the mosque surrounded by the people,<br />

when a man of those, who had heard the fabricated traditions until he became confused<br />

between the truthfulness and the falseness, came to him and said: O Ameerul<br />

Momineen! You are in this high position, which <strong>All</strong>ah has put you in, while your father<br />

has been tortured in Hell? Imam Alis face reddened with anger about what lies the<br />

Umayyads had been fabricating. He answered the man: Hush up! May <strong>All</strong>ah shut your<br />

mouth! By <strong>All</strong>ah, who had sent Muhammad as prophet, if my father would intercede for<br />

every guilty on the earth, <strong>All</strong>ah would respond to his intercession! Has my father been<br />

tortured in hell whereas his son is the divider between (the people of) Paradise and Hell?<br />

The light of Abu Talib, in the Day of Resurrection, will put out the lights of all the creatures<br />

except five lights[234] Such a man like Imam Ali with his high position, qualities,<br />

virtues and excellences, who had been at the top of faithfulness and who had never been<br />

polluted with the dregs of polytheism, would be some how affected by his father if he was<br />

not faithful or he was polytheist for something of that would defect the pure page of the<br />

son, demean his virtue and hurt his high position. Once again Imam Ali said: By <strong>All</strong>ah!<br />

Neither my father nor my grandfathers Abdul Muttalib, Hashem or Abd Manaf had<br />

worshiped an idol at all. They offered prayers towards the House (the Kaaba) according
