According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>The \u201c6th<\/sup> Academic Pre-Conference\u201d of the \u201cInternational Conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.); Supporter of the Great Prophet (p.b.u.h)\u201d was held in Qom, following the activities of the conference and holding its preliminary academic and cultural meetings.<\/p>\n

The meeting was held on Sunday morning, December 20, 2020, by the Secretariat of the International Conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) and hosted by Mehr News Agency. In the meeting, Hojat al-Islam Seyed Majid Portabatabai and Hujat al-Islam Muhammad Ali Moraweji Tabasi discussed and exchanged views.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of this meeting, referring to the high character of the ancestors of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), and on the theory that \u201cthe ancestor and uncle of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) were the Wasis (Wasi here means non-prophet successors of the prophets) of the prophets\u201d, Hojat al-Islam Sayed Majid Pourtatabai said, \u201cIn human history, God Almighty has never left people alone, and naturally, during the period of Fitra (in which people should perform their affairs based on their pure inner divine nature) between Prophets, the Arabian Peninsula was not empty of (God\u2019s) Messengers. Imam Kadhim (a.s.) has explicitly stated in a narration that Abdulmutallab (Prophet Muhammad\u2019s grandfather) and Abu Talib (Prophet Muhammad\u2019s uncle) were two successive Wasis who had guardianship over the people of the (Arabian) peninsula to guide them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the compatibility of the evidence and reasons with this narration of Imam Kazem (AS), this researcher of Islamic history said, \u201cBefore the starting the mission of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), Hazrat Abdulmutallab enacted five laws on religious rites and social relations. Such as limiting the Tawaf (one of the Islamic rituals of pilgrimage and is compulsory during both the Hajj and Umrah. Pilgrims go around the Kaaba (the most sacred site in Islam) seven times in a counterclockwise direction) of the Kaaba to 7 rounds and setting 100 camels as the ransom (as a compensation for a murder of a man). After Islam, these laws were signed and approved by the prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and were included in the structure and body of Islamic jurisprudence, which not only proves the faith of Abdulmutallab but also shows that he was a Wasi.\u201d<\/p>\n

As another witness of the theory, Pourtabatabai pointed to this narration, \u201c\u201cWho was the last Wasi before the Prophet?\u201d Imam Ali (a.s.) was asked, and he answered \u201cMy father was.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) saw his son Imam Ali (a.s.) praying for the first time on the right side of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) next to the Kaaba, he encouraged his other son to pray with them so that he would become the other wing of his cousin.\u201d, he said, as an example of Abu Talib\u2019s support for Islam.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, during the first official invitation and warning of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) to his relatives and the three times support of Imam Ali (a.s.) (of the Prophet) which took place in the house of Abu Talib (a.s.), he, in response to the blame of people like \u201cAbu Jahl\u201d, supported the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and defended the action of his son Ali (a.s.).\u201d The Islamic scholar continued.<\/p>\n

Pointing out that in the early days of Islam, among the Muslims who believed in the Prophet, except Ali (a.s.) and the descendants of Abd al-Muttalib, the fathers of the other believers were infidels and polytheists, he added, \u201cTo compensate their defect, people like Muawiya started to fabricate the narrations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Explaining the roots and consequences of the Umayyads\u2019 efforts to establish fake narrations, Pourtabatabai expressed their purpose of propaganda against Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) and said, \u201cIn fact, \u201cbeing the father of Ali (a.s.)\u201d was Abu Talib\u2019s sin and the purpose of his destruction was to destroy the character of Imam Ali (a.s.).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe enemies of Islam decided to conspire with Abu Lahab\u2019s wife to entertain him with wine so that they could assassinate the Prophet Muhamad (p.b.u.h) during Abu Lahab\u2019s drunkenness; But Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) learned of this plan and sent his son Ali (a.s.) to Abu Lahab\u2019s house to tell him, \u201cOne whose uncle is a nobleman of Quraysh, will (should) not be killed\u201d. And so, Abu Lahab was informed and the enemies did not reach their goal.\u201d Said the historian, referring to the decision of the Quraysh infidels to assassinate the Prophet (p.b.u.h) at the end of the life of Abu Talib (a.s.).<\/p>\n

Pointing out that all the doubts raised about the character of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) have been rejected and answered with strong arguments, following Hujat al-Islam Pourtabatabai, Hujat al-Islam Muhammad Ali Moraweji Tabasi, said in the meeting, \u201cOne of the doubts that has challenged the faith of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) in the eyes of some Sunnis is a collection of narrations entitled \u201cHadith of Dhahdhah\u201d which has been narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis hadith, both in terms of the document, it has important flaws and has content flaws.\u201d Emphasized the researcher of the Quran and Hadith, stating that in Sunni Hadith sources, the hadith of Dhahdhah has been attributed to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) through several documents through \u201cAbu Sa\u2019id Khedri\u201d and \u201cAbbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy fabricating this hadith and attributing it to the Prophet (p.b.u.h), the Nawasib (plural for Nasebi: those who are enemies of AhlulBayt) and enemies of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) wanted to Taktir (excommunicate and calling one as a non-believer in Islam) Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.); unaware that the text of this hadith conflicts with the verses of the Quran.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the conflict with the Quran, these narrations are inconsistent with the consensus of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) that Abu Talib passed away in faith. Also, the textual types of Dhahdhah hadiths conflict with each other.\u201d Moraweji Tabasi continued.<\/p>\n

Referring to the confession of Sunni scholars on the faith of Hazrat Abu Talib (AS), he said, \u201cPerhaps it is because of these fundamental flaws that some Sunni scholars have believed Abu Talib (a.s.) was Muslim and had faith in Islam and opposed the hadith of Dhahdhah; Like \u201cJalal al-Din Suyuti\u201d a Shafi\u2019i Sunni (d. 911 AH, 1505 AD) in the book \u201cal-Ta\u2019zim Walminna\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven some Sunni scholars say that the hadith of Dhahdhah not only does not indicate the disbelief of Abu Talib (a.s.) but also proves his correct faith and belief.\u201d Moraweji Tabasi added.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201cAhmad Kheiri Pasha\u201d, (d. 1387 AH, 1967 AD) a Hanafi Sunni has an ode with more than 70 verses in praise and expression of the virtues of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.). In some verses of this ode, he refers to the hadith of Dhahdhah and says that this hadith is not compatible with the verse \u201cAl-Sabqoon Al-Sabqoon\u201d.\u201d He added.<\/p>\n

\u201cDepriving and keeping away Muslims, especially the youth, from the thoughts, behavior, and lifestyle of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) and creating a false and unrealistic image of him, who helped the Prophet (p.b.u.h) sincerely, bravely and thoughtfully for more than forty years; are unfortunate consequences of the Takfir (excommunication)of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.).\u201d Concluded Moraweji Tabasi at the end of this academic session.<\/p>\n

Referring to the root and consequences of the Umayyads attempts to fabricate the narrations, a history researcher said, \u201cThe sin of Hazrat Abu Talib was being the father of a figure like Ali (a.s.), and one of the purposes of tarnishing his image was destroying the personality of Imam Ali.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":312326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,2648,2650,54],"tags":[4884],"class_list":["post-312332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conferences-events","category-international-conference-of-abu-talib-a-s","category-joint-conferences","category-news","tag-hazrat-abu-talib-a-s"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312332"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":401685,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312332\/revisions\/401685"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
