Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) says: O Messenger of Allah! Has your uncle Abu Talib received any benefit from you, because he used to protect you and become angry for your sake? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Yes, now he will be in a shallow part of the Fire, and if it were not for my intercession, he would have been in the lowest depths of Hell."
