وحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، ومُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ المقدمي ، ومحمد بن عبد الملك الأموي ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَلْ نَفَعْتَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ بِشَيْءٍ ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَغْضَبُ لَكَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، هُوَ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنَ نَارٍ ، وَلَوْلَا أَنَا ، لَكَانَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
It is reported on the authority of 'Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib that he said: Messenger of Allah, have you benefited Abu Talib in any way for he defended you and was fervent in your defence? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes; he would be in the most shallow part of the Fire: and but for me he would have been in the lowest part of Hell.
