حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ يَقُولُا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ کَانَ يَحُوطُکَ وَيَنْصُرُکَ فَهَلْ نَفَعَهُ ذَلِکَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَجَدْتُهُ فِي غَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ النَّارِ فَأَخْرَجْتُهُ إِلَی ضَحْضَاحٍ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 511
It is reported on the authority of 'Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib that he said: Messenger of Allah, have you benefited Abu Talib in any way for he defended you and was fervent in your defence? The Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: Yes; he would be in the most shallow part of the Fire: and but for me he would have been in the lowest part of Hell.
