Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), when his uncle Abu Talib was mentioned in his presence, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He will receive my intercession, as a result of which the fire will reach up to his ankles, but because of it his brain will be boiling (i.e., the fire will not reach the rest of his body).
