Hadith 136

(The book) ‘Al Amdah’, from (the book) ‘Musnad’ of Abdullah Bin Ahmad Bin Hanbal, from his father, ‘Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said: ‘And the name of Abu Talib-asws is Abd Manaf Bin Abdul Muttalib-asws, and the name of Al-Muttalib is Shaybt Al-Hamd Bin Hashim, and the name of Hashim is Amro Bin Abd Manaf, and the name of Abd Manaf is Al-Mugheira Bin Qusay, and the name of Qusay is Zayd Bin Kalad Bin Marrah Bin Ka’ab Bin Luwy Bin Ghalib Bin Fahr Bin Malik Bin Al-Nazar Bin Kananah Bin Khuzeyman Bin Marakah Bin Ilyah Bin Mzar Bin Nazar Bin Ma’d Bin Adnan Bin Aas Bin Adad Bin Al-Huneysa Bin Yashjab, and it is said Ashjab Bin Nabt Bin Qaydar Bin Ismail-as. And Ismail-as was the first one to split his-as tongue with the Arabic which the Quran was Revealed with, and the first one to ride the horse, and it was wild, and he-as is a son of the wealthy race, the friend of Allah-azwj Ibrahim-as Bin Tarikh Bin Nakhour, and it is said Al-Nakhar Bin Sarou Bin Argou Bin Qalie, and he is distributor of the land between its inhabitants Ibn Aamir, and he-as is Hud-as, the Prophet-as, son of Shalikh Bin Arfakhshad. And he is Al-Rafid Bin Saam-as Bin Noah-as Bin Malik, and in the Arabic language he is Malkan Bin Al-Mashoushalkh, and he is Al-Masoub Bin Alhnakh, and he-as is Idrees-as the Prophet-as, Ibn Tard, and he is Barid Bin Mahlail Bin Qitnan Bin Anoush, and he is Al-Tahir Bin Shees-as, and he-as is Hibtullah-as, and it is said as well, Shaas Bin Adam-as, father of the human beings’’. [214]
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘In the register attributed to Amir Al-Momineen-asws, he-asws said regarding the rank of Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-as: ‘I-asws held a vigil lamenting at the end of the night, humming for my-asws elder’s obituary, and chief of the multitude Abu Talib-asws, shelter of the tramps, with the generosity, and with the wisdom there is no replacement, and there is no one closer to the forefathers, a brother of the kingdom, leaving a hole for the Clan of Hashim-as to fill, or to be invoked, so it would be guided. In the evening, Quraysh rejoiced with his-as loss, and I-asws don’t see life for anything to be eternal, I-asws wanted affair, their dreams to adorn them, you will be returning from the error one day with a returning, hoping for the belying of the Prophet-saww and killing him-saww, and that they fabricated a slander upon him-as and blasphemy. You lied, by the House of Allah-azwj, until we made the chests taste the high ground, and the foolish ones, the sword. And it appears from us a scenery with abhorrence, when the gloss of the iron lies in wait. Either you annihilate us or we annihilate you, or you see the community becoming Muslims as being guidance, or else the tribe without Muhammad-saww, the Clan of Hashim-as is the best of the creation in guidance, and for it, among you all is a helper from Allah-azwj, the companion of Allah-azwj would not face the loneliness. A Prophet-saww came from every Revelation and my-asws Lord-azwj Named him-saww as ‘Muhammad’ in the Book, a nobility like the illumination of the moon in image of his-saww face. The stars took their light from him-saww, and were ignited, trustworthy upon whatever Allah-azwj had Deposited in his-saww heart, and even thought it was a word, there being an aim in it’’. [215]
And from him-asws in an eulogy of Khadeeja-asws and Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from them-as: ‘My-asws eyes are dry, may Allah-azwj Bless you-as both, upon the two expiries you cannot see any example for them, upon chief of Al-Bat’ha and son of their chiefs, and a chieftess of the women, the first one to have prayed Salat, refined. Allah-azwj has Made her-as tent to me good, Blessed, and Allah-azwj Ushered the merit for her-as. Their-as morning is darker to the atmosphere and the air, so I-asws spent the night my-asws distress from them, and the worries, and complaint. They-as had helped the religion of Muhammad-saww for the Sake of Allah-azwj, upon the ones who were loyal to the religion, having taken care only’’. [216]
In a Hadeeth of Ibn Abbas who said, ‘When it was Revealed: And warn your kindred, the near ones! [26: 214], Ali-asws said, and Ibn Abbas said, and the Prophet-saww used to nourish him-asws and Blessed his-asws character, and his-asws generosity, and his-asws manners whatever he-saww could. He-saww said to me-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! I-saww have been Commanded to warn my-saww kindred, the near ones, so prepare a meal for me-as and cook meat for me-saww’. Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws counted them, the Clan of Hashim-as exclusively, and they were forty. So, I-asws prepared the food, a meal that would suffice for two or three. The Chosen one-saww said to me-asws: ‘Give! ’ So, I-asws took a bone part from the meal and he-saww slashed it with his-saww teeth and made it to be in the pot, and I-asws prepared for them a jar of milk, and I-asws went to the people and let them know that he-saww had invited them to food and drink. He-asws said: ‘They entered and ate, and they did not even complete half the food until they were satiated. By my-asws life! One of them could have eaten similar to that food, alone. Then I-asws came with the milk. They drank until they were saturated. By my-asws life! One of them along could have drunk similar to that milk. And not even half the jar had been drunk. He-asws said: ‘Then he-asws stood up. When he-saww intended to speak, Abu Lahab-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la, objected to him-saww. He-la said: ‘Did you-saww call us for this? ’ Then he-la followed up his-la talk with some talk, then said, ‘Stand up! ’ They all stood up and left, all of them.
