اُردوEn
125 صحيح حديثُ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رضي الله عنه قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا أَغْنَيْتَ عَنْ عَمِّكَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَغْضَبُ لَكَ قَالَ: هُوَ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنْ نَارٍ وَلَوْلاَ أَنَا لَكَانَ فِي الدَّرَكِ الأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), "What benefit did you give to your uncle (Abu Talib), as he used to support you and get angry for your sake?" He replied, "(Because of this) he is only in the shallowest part of Hell up to his ankles. If I had not interceded for him, he would have been in the lowest depth of Hell."
Brief Explanation
Hadith Narrator: Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib radi Allahu anhu’s kunyah was Abu al-Fadl. He was among the elders of the Quraysh both in the era of ignorance and in Islam. He was the paternal uncle of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Providing water to the pilgrims (hujjaj) and maintaining the Masjid al-Haram was his occupation. He had embraced Islam before the Hijrah but kept his Islam concealed and remained in Makkah. He was present at the Battle of Hunayn. In the latter part of his life, he became blind. Due to his eminence, Sayyiduna Umar and Sayyiduna Uthman radi Allahu anhum used to stand up in his honor. He narrated 35 ahadith. He passed away in Madinah in 32 AH at the age of 88.
