Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ، يَقُولُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَنْصُرُكَ فَهَلْ نَفَعَهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ وَجَدْتُهُ فِي غَمَرَاتٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَخْرَجْتُهُ إِلَى ضَحْضَاحٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ibn Abi ‘Umar narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Umayr, from ‘Abdullah ibn al-Harith, who said: I heard al-‘Abbas say, ‘I said, “Messenger of Allah, Abu Talib protected and supported you. Did that benefit him?”’ He replied, ‘Yes. I found him in the intense depths of the Fire and brought him out to a shallow part.’

Translation notes
  • This variant describes the place from which Abu Talib was brought out as the intense depths of the Fire.
