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
