He is in a shallow place of Hell but without me...
He is in a shallow place of Hell but without me, he will be in the lowest bottom of Hell.”[^5] Ibn Abu Omar from Sufyan from Abdul Melik bin Omayr that Abdullah bin al-Harith said: “I heard al-Abbas saying: “I said: O messenger of Allah! Abu Talib used to protect and support you. Did that benefit him? He said, yes! I found him in a flood of Fire and I took him out to a shallow place (in Hell!).”” ^6 Muhammad bin Hatim from Yahya bin Sa’eed from Sufyan… etc.
like the first one.[^7] Abu Bakr bin Abu Shayba from Wakee’ from Sufyan… like the first one. ^8 Qutayba bin Sa’eed from Layth from ibn al-Had from Abdullah bin Khabbab that Abu Sa’eed al-Khidri said: “Once Abu Talib was mentioned near the Prophet (S). The Prophet (S) said, My intercession may benefit him in the Day of Resurrection.
He may be put in a shallow place of Fire reaching his heels and making his brain boil.” ^9 Abu Bakr bin Abu Shayba from Affan from Hammad bin Salama from Thabit from Abu Othman an-Nahdi that ibn Abbas said: “The Prophet (S) said: The least tortured one among the people of Hell is Abu Talib where he wears two shoes, from which his brain boils.” ^10 Musaddad from Yahya from Sufyan from Abdul Melik from Abdullah bin al-Harth said: “Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) told us that he had said to the Prophet (S)”, “With what did you benefit your uncle?
He protected and defended you.” The Prophet (S) said: “He is in a shallow place of Fire and without me; he would be in the lowest bottom of Hell.”[^11] Abdullah bin Yousuf from al-Layth… etc. like the fifth tradition. ^12 Ibraheem bin Hamza from Abu Hazim and ad-Darawardi from Yazeed… like the fifth tradition. ^13 The Narrators Now we discuss the series of narrators of these traditions to see their positions and their weights in the scales of the men of Hadith. The first tradition: a.
Obeidillah al-Qawareeri: we didn’t find any mention of him in Mizanul I'tidal. We found one tradition in al-Ghadeer that Obeidillah was one of the narrators but the author said about him: “Al-Bukhari mentioned only five traditions narrated by Obeidillah al-Qawareeri and Muslim mentioned forty traditions. Ahmed bin Yahya heard from him one hundred thousand traditions.
So what about this rubbish narrated by this man that al-Bukhari and Muslim didn’t quote from this man save a few traditions and brushed the rest aside? It was not possible that they hadn’t known the rest of his traditions.”[^14] b.
