Combining the denial of the Prophet’s ownership over his relatives with the alleviation of punishment for Abu Talib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned to his relatives that he could not give them anything from Allah, but Allah the Exalted alleviated the punishment of his uncle Abu Talib, who was an associate of partners with Allah, because of the intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). How do we reconcile these two things?
Answer:
Intercession, my brother, intercession, intercession. He called upon Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to alleviate the punishment of his uncle. He called upon Allah for this, and Allah answered his call. So this was a call to Allah, because he had the right to do so. It was not he who alleviated the punishment; rather, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, alleviated it by the supplication of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
