Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ نَفَعْتَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ بِشَىْءٍ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَغْضَبُ لَكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ هُوَ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنْ نَارٍ، لَوْلاَ أَنَا لَكَانَ فِي الدَّرَكِ الأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us: Abu Awanah narrated to us: Abd al-Malik narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn al-Harith ibn Nawfal, from Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, who said: I asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, did you benefit Abu Talib in any way? He used to protect you and become angry on your behalf.’ He replied, ‘Yes. He is in a shallow part of the Fire. Were it not for me, he would be in the lowest depth of the Fire.’
