24. Certain persons of our people have narrated from Ibn Jumhur from his father from Ibn Mahbub from Ibn al-Ri’ab from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj (and) from Muhammad ibn Sinan from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar all from Abu ‘Abdallah (AS) who has said the following
“‘Abd al-Muttalib will be resurrected as a whole nation (one Ummah) with the grandeur of the kings and the complexion of the prophets. It is because he was the first one who believed in Bada’ (Allah’s revised will). Once ‘Abd al-Muttalib sent the Messenger of Allah to the shepherds of his camels to help them with a runaway camel. He collected them all but had delayed in returning home. ‘Abd al-Muttalib out of anxiety was holding the ring of the door of Ka‘ba. He kept pleading, ‘O Lord, will you destroy your own people? (please do not do so) If You would do so then it means that You have revised your decision.’ The Messenger of Allah came with camels and ‘Abd al-Muttalib had sent people to search for him in all directions and valleys of (Mecca). He would keep crying, ‘O Lord, will you destroy Your own people? If you would do so then You may have revised Your decision.’ When saw the Messenger of Allah (SAW) he held him to kiss and said, “Son, I will not send you thereafter for anything. I am afraid for you to be kidnapped and killed.”
24ـ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ ابْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
يُبْعَثُ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ أُمَّةً وَحْدَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَهَاءُ الْمُلُوكِ وَسِيمَاءُ الانْبِيَاءِ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ قَالَ بِالْبَدَاءِ قَالَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِلَى رُعَاتِهِ فِي إِبِلٍ قَدْ نَدَّتْ لَهُ فَجَمَعَهَا فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ بِحَلْقَةِ بَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَ تُهْلِكُ آلَكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ فَأَمْرٌ مَا بَدَا لَكَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بِالابِلِ وَقَدْ وَجَّهَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ فِي كُلِّ طَرِيقٍ وَفِي كُلِّ شِعْبٍ فِي طَلَبِهِ وَجَعَلَ يَصِيحُ يَا رَبِّ أَ تُهْلِكُ آلَكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ فَأَمْرٌ مَا بَدَا لَكَ وَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولَ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَخَذَهُ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ لا وَجَّهْتُكَ بَعْدَ هَذَا فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تُغْتَالَ فَتُقْتَلَ.
