حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : " كَانَ عُمَرُ يُدْخِلُنِي مَعَ أَشْيَاخِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : لِمَ تُدْخِلُ هَذَا الْفَتَى مَعَنَا وَلَنَا أَبْنَاءٌ مِثْلُهُ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ مِمَّنْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ ، قَالَ : فَدَعَاهُمْ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَدَعَانِي مَعَهُمْ ، قَالَ : وَمَا رُئِيتُهُ دَعَانِي يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا لِيُرِيَهُمْ مِنِّي ، فَقَالَ : مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي : إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ { 1 } وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا { 2 } سورة النصر آية 1-2 ؟ حَتَّى خَتَمَ السُّورَةَ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَحْمَدَ اللَّهَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرَهُ إِذَا نُصِرْنَا وَفُتِحَ عَلَيْنَا ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : لَا نَدْرِي أَوْ لَمْ يَقُلْ بَعْضُهُمْ شَيْئًا ؟ فَقَالَ لِي : يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَكَذَاكَ تَقُولُ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَمَا تَقُولُ ؟ قُلْتُ : هُوَ أَجَلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْلَمَهُ اللَّهُ لَهُ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ سورة النصر آية 1 فَتْحُ مَكَّةَ ، فَذَاكَ عَلَامَةُ أَجَلِكَ فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا سورة النصر آية 3 ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَا تَعْلَمُ " .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: `Umar used to admit me (into his house) along with the old men who had fought in the Badr battle. Some of them said (to `Umar), "Why do you allow this young man to enter with us, while we have sons of his own age? " `Umar said, "You know what person he is." One day `Umar called them and called me along with them, I had thought he called me on that day to show them something about me (i.e. my knowledge). `Umar asked them, "What do you say about (the Sura): "When comes the help of Allah and the Conquest (of Mecca) And you see mankind entering the Religion of Allah (i.e. Islam) in crowds. 'So celebrate the Praises Of your Lord and ask for His forgiveness, Truly, He is the One Who accepts repentance and forgives." (110.1-3) Some of them replied, "We are ordered to praise Allah and repent to Him if we are helped and granted victory." Some said, "We do not know." Others kept quiet. `Umar then said to me, "Do you say similarly?" I said, "No." `Umar said "What do you say then?" I said, "This Verse indicates the approaching of the death of Allah's Apostle of which Allah informed him. When comes the help of Allah and the Conquest, i.e. the Conquest of Mecca, that will be the sign of your Prophet's) approaching death, so testify the uniqueness of your Lord (i.e. Allah) and praise Him and repent to Him as He is ready to forgive." On that, `Umar said, "I do not know about it anything other than what you know."

Hadith Commentary:
By asking Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) about a matter of religion, Umar (radi Allahu anhu) made manifest the virtue of Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) over the elders, just as Allah Ta’ala, by granting knowledge to Adam, established his superiority over the angels of great age, and said to those angels: “Prostrate to Adam.”
There is an indication in the hadith towards the passing of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
This is the very purpose of its inclusion here.
In the noble Surah, there was an indication that every perfection has its secret,
and every decline has its perfection.
Under this hadith, the heartfelt discourse of Maulana Waheed al-Zaman is as follows: The practice of Umar (radi Allahu anhu) was upon this — that greatness is by intellect, not by age.
Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) was the great scholar of his time, and even if a scholar is young, by virtue of knowledge he is considered equal to, or even superior to, the elders.
Our leaders, the Rightly Guided Caliphs and other kings of Islam, valued knowledge in such a way that Muslims strove to acquire knowledge. But alas, the Muslim kings of our time are so incompetent that not a single learned scholar or wise philosopher is found among them; nor do they value religious sciences, nor worldly sciences. In fact, to speak the truth, they are enemies of knowledge and competence.
If, by chance, a scholar of religion is born in their land, they are ever concerned with harassing, dishonoring, and expelling him.
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah — if these nights and days continue thus, then the rule of such kings should be considered like the lamp of dawn (i.e., fleeting).
(Waheedi)
These are old matters; now the era of capitalism has passed.
The showman has gone, having displayed his spectacle.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Although Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) was of a young age, due to the supplications of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), he was endowed with insight and knowledge. For this reason, Umar (radi Allahu anhu) made him a member of his consultative council (shura) and gave him preference over others, and then, in a large gathering, established his scholarly superiority.
➋
From this hadith, it is understood that mere proficiency in Arabic is not sufficient to comprehend the meanings of the Qur'an, nor is everyone's understanding reliable. Rather, along with expertise in the foundational sciences, such an understanding is also required through which legal rulings can be derived.
➌
By "Shuyukh of Badr" is meant those esteemed elders who participated in the Battle of Badr.
➍
The questioner did not express envy towards Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu), but rather said this so that our sons may also become like him. In this hadith, the scholarly superiority of Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) is established.
➎
Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has presented this hadith because it contains mention of the Conquest of Makkah. And Allah knows best.
