حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ نَفَعْتَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ بِشَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَغْضَبُ لَكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنْ النَّارِ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَكَانَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنْ النَّارِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1768
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Nawfal, that 'Abbas bin 'Abdul- Muttalib said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, have you benefitted your uncle Abu Talib in any way? For he used to protect you and stand up for you. He said: "Yes; he is in the shallowest part of Hell; were it not for me he would be in the lowest depth of Hell."
