He would be resurrected as a nation by himself.

He would be resurrected as a nation by himself.”[^14] It was mentioned too that the Prophet (S) had said: “May Allah have mercy upon Qass bin Saíida. He would be resurrected in the Day of Resurrection as one nation or as a nation by himself.”[^15] So what was this contradiction? Why was the Prophet (S) so generous to the non-relatives, who had never done him any favor, and was so miser towards his uncle, who had done him great favors since his childhood until he became a prophet?

Hadn’t his Lord revealed to him: Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness? (The Holy Quran, Shakir 55:6o) Then why would the Prophet (S) reward his uncle with else than goodness? After all we found that accusing Abu Talib of being unbeliever would harm the Prophet (S) and this would be a great sin that could never be forgiven. Allah the Almighty said: …and (as for) those who molest the Messenger of Allah, they shall have a painful punishment.

(The Holy Quran, Shakir 9:61) …and it does not behoove you that you should give trouble to the Messenger of Allah. (The Holy Quran, Shakir 33:53) Surely (as for) those who speak evil things of Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and the hereafter, and He has prepared for them a chastisement bringing disgrace.

(The Holy Quran, Shakir 33:57) Hence we found that at-Talmassani had said that the one, who accused Abu Talib of being unbeliever, should be killed because it would harm the Prophet (S) and whoever harmed the Prophet (S) should be killed. The Muslims agreed upon killing the one, who harmed the Prophet (S), according to the Quranic verses, which confirmed that whoever harmed the Prophet (S) would be in Hell for ever.

No harm was be caused to the Prophet (S) more than defaming his uncle and supporter and accusing him of being unbeliever whereas he was a sincere believer and a nonesuch supporter. They mentioned that one day Subayía bint Abu Lahab had come to the Prophet (S) complaining that people often said to her: “You are the daughter of the firewood of Hell (for she was the daughter of Abu Lahab).” The Prophet (S) stood up angrily and said: “Why do some people harm me with my relatives?

He, who harms me, will harm Allah.”[^16] What kind of kinship with Abu Lahab, who had cut every relation and perished every connection by harming the Prophet (S) so severely, it was!
