Explanation of the author's statement: The fifth point: His (peace and blessings be upon him) earnestness and his going to extremes in seeking the Islam of his uncle.

The Shaykh :"The fifth point: - His earnestness or his effort? - His effort", meaning his striving "and his going to extremes in seeking the Islam of his uncle". May Allah send prayers and peace upon him. Yes, his eagerness for his uncle's Islam was such that he was willing to bear the burden of debating or arguing a word before Allah. This is very clear from the text of the hadith that he was eager for him, eager for two reasons:
First: Because of his kinship.
And second: Because of the good that he did for Islam and for the Messenger, which is undeniable. He did for Islam and for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a good that is undeniable. In reality, he is therefore to be thanked, even though he was in disbelief, may Allah protect us from that, and is being punished in the Fire. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was greatly eager for him to be guided, because this man had left his people in order to support the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and stand by him. He would declare his truthfulness openly and recite poems about his truthfulness and praise him. Yes? And he would bear the harm for his sake. This is truly worthy of one being eager for his guidance. But the matter is in the hands of the Turner of hearts, (Glorified and Exalted is He), as established in the hadith: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the same hadith: So the important point is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and others cannot guide any of them, despite their great eagerness to guide his uncle Abu Talib.
"The sixth point: The refutation of those who claimed the Islam of 'Abd al-Muttalib and his ancestors". The Islam of 'Abd al-Muttalib, or is it Abu Talib? 'Abd al-Muttalib, because they said to him: "Do you reject the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib?" This indicates that the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib was disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah). So whoever claims that 'Abd al-Muttalib was a disbeliever who was a Muslim, this hadith refutes him; it refutes him. And whoever claims that Abu Talib also became a Muslim, the hadith refutes him. And whoever claims that Abu Talib regretted it, the hadith refutes him. Yes? And we have mentioned to you that in this season, the Rafidah (Twelver Shi'ah) published a book that says: "The establishment of the prophethood of Abu Talib." Ha? More than more than Islam, may Allah disgrace them. Yes, fine.
"The seventh point: That he (peace and blessings be upon him) sought forgiveness for him, but it was not forgiven for him; rather, he was prohibited from doing so". Allah is the Greatest! The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the closest of people, by the testimony of the Qur'an, meaning the closest of people to have Allah answer his supplication. And yet, if the wisdom of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) dictates that He does not answer his supplication, He did not answer it, because the matter is in the hands of Allah, not in the hands of the Messenger or anyone else. No one has authority in this universe except the Lord of the universe, (Glorified and Exalted is He). This Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought forgiveness for his uncle, despite the appreciable favors his uncle had done in defending him. And yet, Allah did not accept his supplication. Rather, He prohibited him from doing so; He prohibited him from doing so. And this is the mother of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) sought permission from his Lord to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not grant him permission. This indicates that the people of disbelief are not worthy of forgiveness under any circumstances, and that we are not answered in our supplications for them, and that it is not permissible for us to supplicate for them with forgiveness and mercy. As for supplicating for their guidance while they are alive, that is a required matter; it is a required matter that we call them, that we supplicate for their guidance. Yes.
