بَابٌ جَامِعٌ فِيمَا جَاءَ فِي عِلْمِهِ ، وَمَا سُئِلَ عَنْهُ ، وَغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ
The knowledge of Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him)
Majma al-Zawaid 15520 — The knowledge of Abdullah bin Abbas
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : بَعَثَ الْعَبَّاسُ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي حَاجَةٍ ، فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلًا فَرَجَعَ وَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُ ، فَقَالَ : " رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ " . قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ ، أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَمُوتَ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ بَصَرُهُ ، وَيُؤْتَى عِلْمًا " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ بِأَسَانِيدَ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports: Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on some errand. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) found a man present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he went back without saying anything to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Later the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Did you see him? He said: Yes! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That was Jibril. And this one (i.e. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)) will not die until his sight has gone, and he will be given knowledge.
