It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), that Sayyiduna al-Harith bin Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the Farewell Hajj and said: "O Messenger of Allah! You urge upholding the ties of kinship, kindness to the neighbour, taking care of the orphan, hospitality to the guest and feeding the poor, and Hisham bin al-Mughirah used to do all of these good deeds. So, O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of him?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every grave in which a person is buried who did not bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah (La ilaha illallah) is a live coal of the Fire. And I found my uncle Abu Talib in the deepest depths of the Fire, then Allah Almighty, because of his relationship to me and his kindness to me, took him out of there and placed him in a shallow part of the Fire."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Bakr bin Abd al-Rahman except Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil, and from Ibn Aqil only Amr bin Thabit; Isma'il bin Aban is alone in narrating it; and this hadith is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) only with this chain."
