\n Hazrat Abu Talib -asws ...

\n Hazrat Abu Talib -asws , while picking up a sword, called and asked Hamza -asws to take up arms. He -asws then asked Hamza -asws to pick up the stomach of the camel and they came to the people along with the Holy Prophet -saww . \n They found people of Quraysh around the Ka\u2019bah. When they saw Hazrat Abu Talib -asws they read trouble from his -asws face.

Hazrat Abu Talib -asws asked Hamza -asws to spread the contents of the stomach of the camel against everyone\u2019s moustache and Hamza -asws did so to the last person. Abu Talib then turned to the Holy Prophet -saww and said, \u2018Son of my brother, this is how much we value your honour (we are ready to face such a great risk for it).

[24] \n Someone once asked Imam Ali -asws , \u2018Did the Rasool Allah -saww live under the authority of Hazrat Abu Talib -asws ?\u2019 The Imam -asws said, \u2018No, but Hazrat Abu Talib -asws was the Trustee of certain (items) of \u2018Will\u2019 (which a Prophet -as would pass on to the one after him -as ) that he delivered to the Holy Prophet -saww \u2019 \n They then said, \u2018So Hazrat Abu Talib -asws delivered the \u2018Wills\u2019 to the Holy Prophet -saww because of his Authority over him\u2019?

\n The Imam -asws said, \u2018If so he did not have to deliver the wills to him -saww (the Holy Prophet -saww ).\u2019 \n The person then asked. \u2018What was the condition of Hazrat Abu Talib -asws ?\u2019 The Imam -asws said. \u2018Hazrat Abu Talib -asws acknowledged the Holy Prophet -saww and his -saww Divine Message and delivered to him -saww the (items of) Wills and died on that day.

[25] \n Imam Jafar e Sadiq -asws said: “When Hazrat Abu Talib -asws passed away, Angel Jibril -as came to the Rasool Allah -saww and said, \u2018O Mohammed -saww , migrate from Makkah. There is no one to help and protect you.\u2019 Quraysh revolted against the Holy Prophet -saww and he -saww came out of Makkah running away (from disbelievers).

[26] \n Shahadat of Rasool Allah -saww \n The narrator of a Hadith says that the Soul of Rasool Allah was taken (to the Heavens) when two nights of Safar were remaining (therefore on the 28 th of Safar). [27] \n   \n Our 6 th Imam ( Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws was asked by a companion: Inform us (please) if the Holy Prophet -saww died (by natural death) or was killed\/murdered? \n (The Imam -asws replied) Indeed Allah -azwj Says: \u2018When he dies or is killed, will you turn back upon your heels?
