He -asws then asked Hamza -asws to pick up the stomach of the camel and they came to the people along with the Holy Prophet -saww . They found people of Quraysh around the Ka’bah. When they saw Hazrat Abu Talib -asws they read trouble from his -asws face. Hazrat Abu Talib -asws asked Hamza -asws to spread the contents of the stomach of the camel against everyone’s moustache and Hamza -asws did so to the last person.

Abu Talib then turned to the Holy Prophet -saww and said, ‘Son of my brother, this is how much we value your honour (we are ready to face such a great risk for it).

[24] Someone once asked Imam Ali -asws , ‘Did the Rasool Allah -saww live under the authority of Hazrat Abu Talib -asws ?’ The Imam -asws said, ‘No, but Hazrat Abu Talib -asws was the Trustee of certain (items) of ‘Will’ (which a Prophet -as would pass on to the one after him -as ) that he delivered to the Holy Prophet -saww ’ They then said, ‘So Hazrat Abu Talib -asws delivered the ‘Wills’ to the Holy Prophet -saww because of his Authority over him’?

The Imam -asws said, ‘If so he did not have to deliver the wills to him -saww (the Holy Prophet -saww ).’ The person then asked. ‘What was the condition of Hazrat Abu Talib -asws ?’ The Imam -asws said. ‘Hazrat Abu Talib -asws acknowledged the Holy Prophet -saww and his -saww Divine Message and delivered to him -saww the (items of) Wills and died on that day.

There is no one to help and protect you.’ Quraysh revolted against the Holy Prophet -saww and he -saww came out of Makkah running away (from disbelievers).

[26] Shahadat of Rasool Allah -saww The narrator of a Hadith says that the Soul of Rasool Allah was taken (to the Heavens) when two nights of Safar were remaining (therefore on the 28 th of Safar). [27] Our 6 th Imam ( Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws was asked by a companion: Inform us (please) if the Holy Prophet -saww died (by natural death) or was killed/murdered? (The Imam -asws replied) Indeed Allah -azwj Says: ‘When he dies or is killed, will you turn back upon your heels? (Qur’an 3:144) .

The two women poisoned him -saww before death.” (narrator and his -asws companions) said: ‘Those two women and their fathers were the worst creation of Allah -azwj .
