Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was cared for by his grandfather Abdul-Muttalib, and then by his uncle Abu Talib, both of whom died disbelievers. Abdul-Muttalib passed away before the prophethood, while Abu Talib died about ten years after the prophethood. Abdul-Muttalib used to seat the Prophet beside him and feed him, and he entrusted Abu Talib with his care before his death. As for Abu Talib, he loved the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, intensely and took care of him despite his poverty, giving him special preference in food and only sleeping beside him.
