Although these traditions didn't define intercession, they made us understand that the one, who would be interceded for, wouldn't be in Hell. Also we understood that the Prophet's intercession was delayed until the Day of Resurrection where he didn't ask for the request, which Allah had ordered him to ask for and delayed it until that day.

He "will be the first intercessor and his intercession will be the first to be accepted." (4) Then how did the Prophet (s) intercede for his unbeliever uncle whereas he had been ordered to intercede just for those, who declared shahada and became sincere Muslims? And how did they determine the intercession for Abu Talib while it was delayed until the Day of Resurrection?

So this tradition not only contradicted the tradition of the dying of Abu Talib but also it contradicted many ____________ 1 Al-Ghadeer, vol.8 p.24. 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid. 4 Muslim's Sahih vol.7 p.59. other traditions. This contradiction was sufficient evidence to refute the two false traditions even if their dishonest narrators were regarded as reliable. So how about it when the narrators were actually regarded as liars and fabricators? There were some traditions of another kind.

It would be better to quote some of them: a. "Seventy thousand persons of my umma will enter into Paradise without being inquired." (1) In some of them it was mentioned "seventy thousand or seven hundred thousand" that Abu Hazim didn't know which of them. (2) It was this Abu Hazim, who was one of the narrators of the tradition of the dying of Abu talib! b.

"Seventy thousand persons will be resurrected from this cemetery (al-Baqee') (3) and they will enter into Paradise without being inquired." (4) c. "Seventy thousand persons of my umma will enter into Paradise without inquiry or torment. With every thousand of them will be seventy thousands." (5) d.

"I found my God glorious and generous; He granted me with every one of the seventy thousand ones, who would enter into Paradise without being inquired, ____________ 1 Muslim's Sahih vol.1 p.36, al-Bukhari's Sahih vol.4 p.84, al-Ghadeer, vol.5 p.283. 2 Muslim's Sahih vol. p.137, al-Bukhari's Sahih vol.4 p.84. 3 It was the great cemetery of the Muslims in Medina. 4 Al-Ghadeer, vol.5 p.283 from at-Tabarani in his al-Kabeer vol.4 p.13.
