Eman - 18th Dhul-Hijja 1425 (29 January 2005)
It is reported by Sa'id bin Musayyib who narrated it on the
authority of his father (Musayyib bin Hazm) (Radhiallaho anho):
that when Abu Talib was about to die, the Messenger of Allah
(sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) came to him and found with him
Abu Jahl ('Amr bin Hisham) and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umayya ibn
al-Mughirah. The Messenger of Allah said: My uncle, you just
make a profession that there is no god but Allah, and I will
bear testimony before Allah (of your being a believer), Abu
Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umayya addressing him said: Abu
Talib, would you abandon the religion of 'Abdul-Muttalib? The
Messenger of Allah constantly requested him (to accept his
offer), and (on the other hand) was repeated the same
statement (of Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umayya) till Abu
Talib gave his final decision and be stuck to the religion of
'Abdul-Muttalib and refused to profess that there is no god
but Allah. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: By Allah,
I will persistently beg pardon for you till I am forbidden to
do so (by God), It was then that Allah, the Magnificent and
the Glorious, revealed this verse:
" It is not meet for the Prophet and for those who believe
that they should beg pardon for the polytheists, even though
they were their kith and kin, after it had been made known to
them that they were the denizens of Hell" (Surah 9:Ayat 113)
And it was said to the Messenger of Allah :" Verily thou canst
not guide to the right path whom thou lovest. And it is Allah
Who guideth whom He will, and He knoweth best who are the
guided" (Surah 28: Ayat 56).
