Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to spend the nights of Mina in Makkah for the purpose of providing water, so he granted him permission. These are the words of Al-Ashajj’s narration.
