The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a report that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
regarding alleviating the punishment, that some of the polytheists other than his uncle Abu Talib
The Shaykh:
No, there is no report of this, and this is specific to Abu Talib only. As for the polytheists, the intercession of the intercessors will not benefit them. However, this hadith regarding Abu Talib serves as a specification of the verse in terms of alleviating the punishment, not in terms of removing him from the Fire.
