حدثنا الحسين بن إبراهيم بن أحمد بن هشام المؤدب، وعلي بن عبد الله الوراق، وأحمد بن زياد الهمداني، قالوا: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هشام، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن المفضل بن عمر قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: أسلم أبو طالب - رضي الله عنه - بحساب الجمل - وعقد بيده ثلاثة وستين - ثم قال عليه السلام: إن مثل أبي طالب مثل أصحاب الكهف، أسروا الايمان وأظهروا الشرك فآتاهم الله أجرهم مرتين.
1.	We were told by Hussain bin Ibrahim bin Ahmad bin Isham, the teacher, and Ali bin Abdullah al-Warraq, and Ahmad bin Ziyad al-Hamdani, that they said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, from his father, from Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Mufaddal bin Umar, that he said: Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: Abu Talib, may Allah be pleased with, accepted Islam by the calculation of the camel, and he counted thirty six with his hand. Then he, peace be upon him, said: Indeed, the example of Abu Talib is like the example of the people of the cave; they concealed faith and expressed polytheism, hence, Allah gave them their reward two times.
