Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

Regarding `Abdul-Muṭṭalib and Abu Ṭaalib:
[TN: After mentioning the weak Ḥadeeth, al-Ḥaafiẓh Ibn Katheer says]: The purpose
(here is to mention) that `Abdul-Muṭṭalib died upon what he claimed to have followed
from the religion of the days of ignorance, in opposition to what Shi`a sect claim about
him and his son Abu Ṭaalib. This will be mentioned when the incident about the death
of Abu Ṭaalib will be discussed.
After mentioning some of the above Aḥaadeeth in “Dalaa’il al-Nubuwwah”, al-Baihaqee
said: “How can it not be, seeing that both his ﷺ parents and his grandfather used to
worship idols till they died, and they did not follow the religion of `Eesaa Ibn Maryam
correct. lineage, as their marriage was ﷺ Yet their Kufr does not harm his ‏?عليهُالسالم
Do you not see that when they (i.e. the husbands) accept Islaam together with their
wives, they are not obliged to renew the marriage contract nor are they separated?
And Allaah is the One who grants success.”
I (Ibn Katheer) say: “The news from the Prophet ﷺ about his parents and his
grandfather `Abdul-Muṭṭalib, that they are from the denizens of the Fire does not
oppose the Aḥaadeeth that have been reported from various routes that the people of
al-Fatrah (who did not receive the message), the children, the insane, and the mute will
be tested on the Day of Judgment. Like the narrations which we have already discussed
in details - about its Chain and its Text - in our Tafseer of the Aayah:
‏﴿وَمَاُك نَّاُم عَذِّبِنيَُُحَّتَّىُُنَب عَثَُُرَس وّل ُ﴾
{And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning)} [Surah al-
Israa’ (17): 15]
Regarding the people of al-Ḥijr (Thamood), `Abdullaah Ibn `Umar رضي ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنهما narrated that Allaah's Messenger
said: ❝Do not enter (the places) of these people where Allaah's punishment had fallen unless you do so ﷺ
weeping. If you do not weep, do not enter (the places of these people) because Allaah's curse and punishment
which fell upon them may fall upon you.❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (433, 3380, 3381) and Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim (5296,
5297)]
