Question:
And does 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[An-Nisa 4:145]," indicate the permissibility of a Muslim saying, "Were it not for me, so-and-so would have become a believer because of your generosity in granting the request"?
Answer:
The wording itself is the difficult part here. This wording is problematic. It requires verification and careful consideration. In any case, it is specific to Abu Talib and specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The intercession of the Prophet for Abu Talib to alleviate the punishment from him is specific to the Prophet and specific to Abu Talib.
