Hadith 209
This hadith is listed as number 511 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ ، يَقُولُ : قُلْتُ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَنْصُرُكَ ، فَهَلْ نَفَعَهُ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَجَدْتُهُ فِي غَمَرَاتٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَخْرَجْتُهُ إِلَى ضَحْضَاحٍ " .
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.
