It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that he heard from the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when the mention of his (the Prophet's) uncle (Abu Talib) came up, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "On the Day of Resurrection, perhaps my intercession will benefit him so much that he will be placed in shallow fire reaching up to his ankles, from which his brain will boil."
