The Good Fate of Utbah and Mu’tib

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (Rahimahullah) has written in Isaabah: “When Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) came to Makkah Mukarramah on the occasion of the Conquest of Makkah, he asked his uncle Hazrat Abbaas (Radhiyallahu anhu), “Where are the sons of your brother (Abu Lahab), Utbah and Mu’tib?” Hazrat Abbaas replied, “Both have left Makkah.” Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Fetch them.” Accordingly, Hazrat Abbaas (Radhiyallahu anhu) went to Arafaat to fetch them. Both came quickly and embraced Islam.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “I beseeched my Rabb for these two sons of my uncle.”

Utbah stayed in Makkah and passed away there. During the Battle of Hunain both brothers were with Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam).”
