Question:
The questioner: How do we reconcile the saying of Allah the Exalted,[At-Tahrim 66:10], with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding his uncle Abu Talib: "Were it not for me, he would have been in the lowest depth of the Fire"?
Answer:
This is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and specific to Abu Talib only; it is not general for people. He did not save him from the Fire, but rather he interceded only to alleviate the punishment from him. Yes, and he did not take him out of the Fire. Yes.
