Furthermore, is completely evident that Hazrat Abu Talib (a) died as a Momin and a Muslim by way of these clear proofs:
(1) The marriage of Hazrat Abu Talib (a) to Fatima Binte Asad (s) remained valid
Surah Baqarah verse 221 states: And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe.
Al-Haythani in his book Majma’ al-Zawaid wa Manba’ al-Fawaid
Book of Excellences – Chapter of what has come in the excellence of Zainab daughter of the Prophet of Allah (s)
… 15233 – and from Ibn Ishaq he said, … and surely the advent of Islam caused a separation between Zainab the daughter of the Prophet of Allah (s) and between Abi al-Aas Ibn Rabi’ that the Prophet of Allah (s) was not able to separate them despite her acceptance of Islam and his being a polytheist since the Prophet of Allah (s) migrated to Medina while she stayed with him (her husband) in Mecca…

Objective Analysis:
(1) Why did the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) divorce Rabibah when her husband was a disbeliever but he considered the marriage of Fatima Binte Asad (s) (a believing woman) with Hazrat Abu Talib (a) (a disbeliever) to be valid. While she was from the foremost believing women. Isn’t this sufficient proof of the faith of Hazrat Abu Talib (a) except for the one who believes that the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) did no in opposition to Holy Quran and the Sunnah [God forbid]
(2) Why doesn’t history mention that Sayyidah Fatimah (s) (a believing women) request the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) for separation between her and her husband (a disbeliever) while she was a believing woman who was well aware of the laws of Shariah?
(3) Why doesn’t history mention the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) seeking to separate Sayyidah Fatima (s) (a believing woman) from Hazrat Abu Talib (a) (a disbeliever)?
(4) Why does not history mention the saying of Imam Ali (a) or the pure Imams after him that Hazrat Abu Talib (a) (a disbeliever) should have been divorced from his wife (a believing woman)
(5) And finally, everyone who claims that Hazrat Abu Talib (a) was a disbeliever relies upon a weak tradition which has been narrated by those who bear enmity towards the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny (a)
(2) The second proof: the deception and contradiction of Bukhari and his clear lies
Narrated Al-Musaiyab:
When Abu Talib was on his death bed, Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) said, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah." On that Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to Abu Talib, "Will you now leave the religion of `Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on repeating their sentence before him till Abu Talib said as the last thing he said to them, "I am on the religion of `Abdul Muttalib," and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. On that Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) said, "By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed:-- 'It is not fitting for the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans.' (9.113)
Narrated Al-Bara:
The last Sura that was revealed was Surah Bara'a (Tawba), and the last Verse that was revealed was: "They ask you for a legal verdict, Say: Allah's directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs." (4.176)
The 3rd Proof
Narrated Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib:
That he said to the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) "You have not been of any avail to your uncle (Abu Talib) (though) by Allah, he used to protect you and used to become angry on your behalf." The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said, "He is in a shallow fire, and had it not been for me, he would have been in the bottom of the (Hell) Fire."
A question to the intellectuals among the opponents: Does this tradition from Bukhari hold any ground against these verses of the Holy Quran?
1) These are they who buy the life of this world for the hereafter, so their chastisement shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped. [Surah Baqarah (2): verse 86]
2) Abiding in it; their chastisement shall not be lightened nor shall they be given respite. [Surah Baqarah (2): verse 162]
3) Abiding in it; their chastisement shall not be lightened nor shall they be respited. [Surah Aal Imran (3): verse 88]
4) And leave those who have taken their religion for a play and an idle sport, and whom this world's life has deceived, and remind (them) thereby lest a soul should be given up to destruction for what it has earned; it shall not have besides Allah any guardian nor an intercessor, and if it should seek to give every compensation, it shall not be accepted from it; these are they who shall be given up to destruction for what they earned; they shall have a drink of boiling water and a painful chastisement because they disbelieved. [Surah An'aam (6): verse 70]
5) And when those who are unjust shall see the chastisement, it shall not be lightened for them, nor shall they be respited. [Surah Nahl (16): verse 85]
6) And We will drive the guilty to hell thirsty. They shall not control intercession, save he who has made a covenant with the Beneficent Allah. [Surah Maryam (19): verses 86-87]
7) And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is the fire of hell; it shall not be finished with them entirely so that they should die, nor shall the chastisement thereof be lightened to them: even thus do We retribute every ungrateful one. [Surah Faatir (35): verse 36]
8) And warn them of the day that draws near, when hearts shall rise up to the throats, grieving inwardly; the unjust shall not have any compassionate friend nor any intercessor who should be obeyed. [Surah Ghaafir (40): verse 18]
9) And those who are in the fire shall say to the keepers of hell: Call upon your Lord that He may lighten to us one day of the punishment. They shall say: Did not your messengers come to you with clear arguments? They shall say: Yes. They shall say: Then call. And the call of the unbelievers is only in error. [Surah Ghaafir (40): verses 49-50]
10) Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns, except the people of the right hand. In gardens, they shall ask each other. About the guilty: What has brought you into hell? They shall say: We were not of those who prayed; And we used not to feed the poor; And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses. And we used to call the day of judgment a lie; Till death overtook us. So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them. [Surah Muddaththir (74): verses 38-48]
He (Ibn Sa`d) said: Muhammad Ibn `Umar al-Aslami informed us; he said:
Abu Talib passed away about the middle of Shawwal in the tenth year (reckoned) from the time the Apostle of Allah may Allah bless him, was raised to prophethood, and he (Abd-Talib) was more than eighty years old. One month and five days after his death, Khadijah, who was sixty-five years old, died. Thus two afflictions befell the Apostle of Allah, may Allah, bless him, (the event of) death of Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid and (the event of) the death of his uncle Abu Talib'.
Narrated Sahl:
Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) said, "I and the one who looks after an orphan will be like this in Paradise," showing his middle and index fingers and separating them.
...and His saying: (after me who will be named Ahmad)... And certainly Musannaf fi Tarikhis Sageer has bought from the side of Ali bin Zaid that he said: Abu Talib (a.s) used to say:
and He has extracted from His name so that he exalts him (sawa)
and He, the possessor of the throne is Mehmood while he (sawa) is Mohammad
And his name famous amongst all was Abd-eManaaf:...and indeed he has presented tradition similar to Ibne Masood and as for the messenger of Allah (sawa) Allah defended him with his uncle, and the traditions of his protection and his defence are known and famous and what is famous from his poems is the following saying:
By Allah they shall never reach you - till they make to rest in the soil burried
and his (a.s) saying:
you lie while the house of Allah spreads his message - and thats why we fight around him and protect
