Hadith 10544
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَأَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ وَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَقْعَدُ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَعَدَ فِيهِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ ابْنَ أَخِيكَ يَقَعُ فِي آلِهَتِنَا قَالَ مَا شَأْنُ قَوْمِكَ يَشْكُونَكَ قَالَ يَا عَمِّ أُرِيدُهُمْ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَدِينُ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدِّي الْعَجَمُ إِلَيْهِمُ الْجِزْيَةَ قَالَ مَا هِيَ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَامُوا فَقَالُوا أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا قَالَ وَنَزَلَ {ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ} [ص: 1] فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ} [ص: 5] قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَبِي وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَحَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ثَنَا عِبَادٌ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ أَبِي قَالَ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادٍ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Abu Talib fell ill and the Quraysh came to him, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also arrived to visit him. There was space for one person to sit by his head, when Abu Jahl stood up and sat in that place. The people, complaining about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: "Abu Talib! Your nephew speaks ill of our gods." Abu Talib said: "Your people are complaining about you, what is the reason?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O uncle! I want them to say such a word, by which the Arabs will become subservient to them and the non-Arabs will pay them jizya." He said: "What is that word?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah)." Hearing this, those people stood up and said: "Has he made all the gods into one god?" Then this Qur'an was revealed: Saad. By the Qur'an full of reminder! But the disbelievers are in pride and opposition. We destroyed many generations before them; they cried out, but it was not the time for escape. And the disbelievers are astonished that a warner has come to them from among themselves, and they say: 'This is a sorcerer, a great liar. Has he made all the gods into one god? This is indeed a strange thing.'" (Surah Saad: 1 to 5)
Hadith 10545
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَمِّهِ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَشْهَدُكَ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ تُعَيِّرَنِي قُرَيْشٌ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا حَمَلَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَزَعُ لَأَقْرَرْتُ بِهَا عَيْنَكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ} [القصص: 56] الآية
Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to his uncle: Say "There is no god but Allah," and I will testify on your behalf because of it on the Day of Resurrection. He replied: If it were not that the Quraysh would reproach me by saying that weakness has led Abu Talib to utter this word, I would say this word and bring coolness to your eyes. Then Allah Almighty revealed: Surely, you do not guide whom you love.
Hadith 10546
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ ثُمَّ لَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي قَالَ فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ ثُمَّ لَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي قَالَ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ آتَيْتُهُ قَالَ فَدَعَا لِي بِدَعْوَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِي بِهَا حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ وَسُودَهَا قَالَ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مَيِّتًا اغْتَسَلَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When Abu Talib passed away, I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Your old uncle has died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and bury him, and then come to me without doing any other work. So I buried him and then came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and take a bath, and then come to me without doing any other work. So I took a bath and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made such supplications for me that I would not prefer to have red and black camels in place of them. After that, whenever Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would give a bath to a deceased person, he would also bathe himself.
Hadith 10547
مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ مَاتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ مُشْرِكًا فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ فَلَمَّا وَارَيْتُهُ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي اغْتَسِلْ
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Abu Talib has died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and bury him. He said: He died in a state of polytheism. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and bury him. So I buried him, then I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Perform ghusl (ritual bath).

Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when Abu Talib was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is possible that on the Day of Resurrection, Abu Talib will benefit from my intercession and he will be placed in the Fire of Hell reaching up to his ankles, from which his brain will boil.
Hadith 10549
عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَمُّكَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَنْفَعُكَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنْ نَارٍ لَوْلَا أَنَا كَانَ فِي الدَّرَكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: O Messenger of Allah! Your uncle Abu Talib used to protect you and benefit you?

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among the people of Hell, the lightest punishment will be for Abu Talib; he will be made to wear two sandals of fire, due to which his brain will begin to boil.
