There are many other traditions mentioned in al-Ghadeer, talking about such numbers that will enter into Paradise without being inquired from other towns; from between the wall of Hims and az-Zaytoon there will be seventy thousands, from Kuffa the same number and from Hims ninety thousands! 5 Al-Ghadeer, vol.10 p.120 from Majma' az-Zawa'id vol.10 p.405.

seventy thousand ones." (1) There was a long series of such traditions with great numbers but we didn't want to busy the reader's mind with them that the reader might multiply seventy thousand by seventy thousand to see what the result would be! But did he, who fabricated the tradition of ad-Dhihdhah, check this seventy thousands multiplied by seventy thousands and didn't find Abu Talib among them and then he entered into Hell to find Abu Talib there and his brain flowing over his feet?

We would like to say that we didn't trust in many of the traditions we mentioned above and we didn't want to discuss them because they were away from our subject but we just wanted to argue by them with the fabricators of the tradition of ad-Dihdhah no more no less because all of these traditions were mentioned in the Sihah and they drew from the same source and met at the same purpose!

We quoted here a saying of someone of the Ansar, who was the last one of the public speakers, whom Mo'awiya had appointed to curse and abuse Imam Ali (s) on the minbars. This man was called Onayss. He praised Allah and then said: "You have cursed and abused the man (Ali) too much today.

I swear by Allah that I have heard the Prophet (s) saying: "I will intercede for people in the Day of Resurrection as much as the clay and the trees on the earth." I swear by Allah that no one was kinder to his relatives than him (the Prophet). Do you think that he will intercede for you and he will be unable to intercede for his family...?" (2) ____________ 1 Al-Ghadeer, vol.5 p.283. 2 Ibid, vol.10 p.261 from Ossdul Ghaba vol.1 p.134.

It was mentioned in al-Issaba vol.1 p.89 but the author didn't mention that it was Mo'awiya, who had held that dark day! Refer to al-Istee'ab vol.1 p.37 about the tradition narrated by Onayss. What a wonderful word it was that didn't need any comment! 4.We saw that the tradition of ad-Dhihdhah talked about the intercession of the Prophet (s) for his uncle.
