Criticizing Abu Talib would harm the Prophet (s) and he, who harmed the Prophet (s), would be unbeliever and the unbeliever should be killed." (2) Abu Tahir said: "He, who hates Abu Talib, is unbeliever." (3) Dahlan said: "Believing in the sayings of these imams that Abu Talib was a faithful is safe for one before his God especially that the evidences proves that as it has been mentioned by al-Barazanji."

(2) It was mentioned that Sa'eed bin Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl and his cousin Omar bin al-Khattab said to the Prophet (s): "Do you beg forgiveness for Zayd bin Amr?" The Prophet (s) said: "Yes!
