The Intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for His Uncle Abu Talib

Question:
The questioner asks: Is it true that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will intercede for his uncle Abu Talib to have the punishment lightened for him?

Answer:
He interceded for him to have the punishment lightened, so he was in shallow fire. In another narration, he had two embers in his heels from which his brain boiled. This is the lightest of the punishment, and may Allah protect us from it: two embers from which his brain boils. Yes, so what about the one who is submerged in the Fire from his head to his feet, and may Allah protect us from it? Yes.

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it prescribed to go

Answer:
He says: He sees that no one among the people of the Fire is more severely punished than he is, even though he is the least severely punished among the people of the Fire. Yes.
