Al-Kāfi - The Book about people with Divine Authority Chapter: The Birth of The Holy Prophet (s.a) and His Demise 29ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ ٠َّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْ٠َدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ ٠َّدٍ الازْدِيِّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) قَالَ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ٠ُونَ أَنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ كَانَ كَافِراً فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا كَيْفَ يَكُونُ كَافِراً وَهُوَ يَقُولُ.

أَ لَ٠ُوا أَنَّا وَجَدْنَا ٠َّداً نَبِيّاً كَ٠ُوسَى خُطَّ فِي أَوَّلِ الْكُتُبِ‏. وَفِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ أَبُو طَالِبٍ كَافِراً وَهُوَ يَقُولُ.

لَقَدْ عَلِ٠ُوا أَنَّ ابْنَنَا لا ٠ُكَذَّبٌ لَدَيْنَا وَلا يَعْبَأُ بِقِيلِ الابَاطِلِ‏وَ أَبْيَضُ يُسْتَسْقَى الْغَ٠29.

Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn Yahya have narrated from Ahmad ibn Ishaq from Bakr ibn Muhammad al-Azdi from Ishaq ibn Ja‘far from his father (AS) who said: “It was said to him (the Imam): 'people claim that Abu Talib was an unbeliever.' He (AS) said: 'They lied, how could he be an unbeliever when he would say: “Do they not know that we found Muhammad as a prophet like Musa whose name is written in the ancient books.”?

According to another hadith he said, “How could Abu Talib be an unbeliever when he would say, “They certainly know that our child is not a liar to us and the false words are not paid any attention to. The (beautiful) white face (of Muhammad) that prays for rain from the clouds, is the helper of the orphans and the protector of the widows.’” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (5/253))
