Some scholars cite the mitigation of Abu Talib’s punishment as evidence that a disbeliever’s deeds benefit him in lightening the punishment?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Some scholars have cited the mitigation of the punishment of Abu Talib in the Fire as evidence that a disbeliever’s righteous deeds benefit him on the Day of Resurrection in lightening the punishment from him, such as being in the higher levels of the Fire.

Answer:
This is ignorant, this is ignorant. This is specific to Abu Talib, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) interceded for him. It is specific to Abu Talib, who was a disbeliever. As for the disbelievers, the intercession of the intercessors does not benefit them, except for Abu Talib. For Allah… the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) interceded for him, so the punishment was lightened for him. This is specific to him. And I do not think the one who says this, I do not think he is a scholar. He is guessing. And today, we complain to Allah of the multitude of those who guess and those who pretend to be scholars, who speak about Allah without knowledge. Yes.
