About this day
The Centre lists the birth of Abu Talib (a) on the twenty-ninth of Shawwal as an optional entry, and the sourcing for it is thin. Only one of the calendar sources behind this site carries a Shawwal birth date for him, and the main Twelver reference consulted gives none at all, so it is kept as a weakly attested tradition rather than an established date.
