Abū Ṭālib was a brother of Muḥammad's father, 'Abdullāh ibn Abdul-Muttalib, who had died before Muḥammad's birth. After the death of Muḥammad's mother Āminah bint Wahb, Muḥammad as a child was taken into the care of his grandfather, Abdul-Muttalib. When Muḥammad reached eight years of age, 'Abdul-Muttalib died, one of the Prophet’s uncles was to take him in. The oldest, Al-Harith was not wealthy enough to take him in. Al-‘Abbas was the most wealthy but he was not welcoming. Abu Talib took in the Prophet despite his poverty because of his generosity.[4] Although, it is confusing that Abu Talib was responsible for Siqaya & Rifada (Food & Beverages) of Hajj Pilgrims, yet he was poor.
Muhammad loved his uncle very much and Abu Talib loved Muhammad in return.[5] Abu Talib is remembered as a gifted poet and many poetic verses in support of Muhammad are attributed to him.[2] [6]
Once, as Abu Talib was about to leave for a trading expedition, Muhammad wept and could not bear to be separated from him. To this Abu Talib responded, “By God I will take him with me, and we shall never part from one another” [7]
Later in life, as an adult, Muhammad saw that Abu Talib was struggling financially after a severe drought. Muhammad decided to take charge of one of Abu Talib’s children and he convinced al-‘Abbas to do the same. They discussed this matter with Abū Ṭālib, who asked that his favorite child 'Aqīl could be left with him. Al-'Abbās chose Talib, and Muḥammad chose 'Alī.[8] [9] [10] [11]
