١٢٢٠٩ - حدثنا علي بن مسهر عن الأجلح عن الشعبي قال: لما مات أبو طالب (جاء) (١) (علي) (٢) إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: إن عمك الشيخ الكافر قد مات فما ترى فيه؟ قال: "أرى أن تغسله (وتنحيه) " (٣)، وأمره بالغسل (٤).
Hazrat Sha'bi narrates that when Abu Talib passed away, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him, may Allah honor his face) came to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Your disbelieving uncle has died. What is your opinion regarding him?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give him a bath and bury him," and later instructed them to perform the washing.
