Musnad Abi Ya'la 2583 — Abu Talib fell ill, and the Prophet ﷺ came
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ فُلَانٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُهُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَقْعَدُ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَجَلَسَ فِيهِ فَشَكَوْهُ إِلَى أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَقَالُوا: يَقَعُ فِي آلِهَتِنَا. فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى هَذَا؟ قَالَ: «أَيْ عَمِّ إِنَّمَا أُرِيدُهُمْ إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ تَدِينُ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ، وَتُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِمْ بِهَا الْعَجَمُ الْجِزْيَةَ». قَالَ: وَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ: «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ». فَقَالَ: {أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا إِنَّ هَذَا لِشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ} [ص: 5] "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Abu Talib fell ill, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit him. At that time there was an empty place for a man to sit at his head, but Abu Jahl (quickly) went and sat there. Then the polytheists complained to Abu Talib about him, saying: He speaks ill of our gods. Abu Talib asked: "O my nephew, what do you want from them?" He said: "O uncle, I want from them only one word, because of which the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay them the jizyah." Abu Talib asked: "What is that word?" He said: "La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah)." At this the polytheists said: "Has he made all the gods into one God? Indeed, this is a very strange thing!"
