He said, "O Messenger of Allah, your uncle Abu Talib used to protect and benefit you." He (Prophet Muhammad) said, "Indeed, he is in the lowest depths of Hell. If it were not for me, he would have been in the very bottom of Hell."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَمُّكَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَنْفَعُكَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنَ النَّارِ وَلَوْلا أَنَا كَانَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ

ʿAbbas bin ʿAbdul Muttalib said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Did you benefit Abu Talib with anything as he used to protect and take care of you, and used to become angry for you?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, he is in a shallow place of Fire. Were it not for me, he would have been in the bottom-most depth of the Fire."
يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ نَفَعْتَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ بِشَىْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَغْضَبُ لَكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنْ نَارٍ لَوْلاَ أَنَا لَكَانَ فِي الدَّرَكِ الأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
Messenger of Allah, have you benefited Abu Talib in any way for he defended you and was fervent in your defence? The Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: Yes; he would be in the most shallow part of the Fire and were not for me, he would have been in the bottom-most depth of Hell.

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ نَفَعْتَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ بِشَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَغْضَبُ لَكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنَ النَّارِ وَلَوْلا ذَلِكَ لَكَانَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, did Abu Talib benefit from anything? For he used to protect you and become angry on your behalf." He (the Prophet) said, "Yes, he is in a shallow part of Hellfire. If it were not for that, he would have been in the lowest level of Hellfire."
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ نَفَعْتَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ بِشَيْءٍ؟ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَغْضَبُ لَكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنَ النَّارِ لَوْلا ذَلِكَ لَكَانَ هُوَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
