Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was mentioned in the presence of his uncle Abu Talib. He said: "Perhaps my intercession will benefit him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will be placed in a shallow part of the Fire, which will reach up to his ankles, and from its heat his brain will begin to boil."
