Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the noble wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), relates: "Al-Harith bin Hisham came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of the Farewell Pilgrimage and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you encourage maintaining ties of kinship, treating the neighbour well, looking after the orphan, feeding the guest and feeding the poor; all of these things (my father) Hisham bin al-Mughirah used to do. O Messenger of Allah, what is your view about him?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Every occupant of a grave (that is, whoever among the dead) did not testify that there is no god but Allah, that grave will be a piece of Hell. I found my uncle Abu Talib in the deepest part of Hell, and because of his relation to me and his good treatment of me, Allah Almighty took him out of that place and placed him in the upper part of Hell.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil, who is munkar al-hadith (his narrations are rejected); people do not use his hadith as evidence, although he has been declared trustworthy.
