Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on the head of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and made this supplication: O Allah! Grant him wisdom and grant him knowledge of interpretation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on his chest, and Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) felt the coolness of the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his chest. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: O Allah! Fill his insides (i.e. his chest) with knowledge and forbearance! The narrator says: So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) never felt within himself any need to ask anyone about anything, and he remained the great scholar of this Ummah until Allah Almighty took him in death.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know.
