Guiding hearts is in the hands of Allah alone. Abu Taleb, the Prophet’s uncle, used to strenuously defend and care about him. In this hadith, Abu Hurairah narrated that when Abu Taleb was dying, the Prophet ﷺ came hoping for his conversion to Islam. He said to him, “Say, ‘There is no god but Allah.’” He hoped his belief in Allah and saying this word that will save him from punishment in the hereafter. He added, “I will testify thereof for you on the Day of Resurrection.” He means if you say it, you will become a Muslim and I can intercede for you. The Prophet was keen to save and encourage him to be Muslim. On the contrary, Abu Taleb refused and said, “'Had it not been my fear of Quraysh's blaming …” He means they may insult and scold him. Quraysh was the tribe of both. Abu Taleb was afraid that they may say that his fear of death induced him to do so. “I would have certainly delighted your eyes.” He means he would have certainly made him happy and achieved his hopes. Although he believed in all the Prophet said, he neither embraced Islam nor uttered the two testimonies. He remained so until he died a little before the immigration. In another narration in the two Sahihs, Al-Musayyeb ibn Hazn narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, “By Allah, I will keep asking for (Allah’s) forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so." So, Allah revealed, “Indeed [O Muhammad] you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills.” (Al-Qasas: 56) This means: O Noble Messenger, you do not guide whom you like to Islam such as Abu Taleb but Allah is the only one who guides to Islam whom he wills. He knows best who will be guided to the straight path, based on his knowledge. This hadith clarifies the following: (1) The Prophet’s care for calling people to Islam and saving them from Hell, (2) The Legitimacy of visiting an unbeliever during his illness to call him to Islam, and (3) Being interested and afraid of people’s reactions may sometimes lead to prevent goodness and one's faith..
