Some of the virtues and accounts of Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him)
Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 10565 — from his father that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ، ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ الْحَبَّةَ مِنَ الرُّمَّانِ فَيَأْكُلُهَا، قِيلَ لَهُ: يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، لِمَ تَفْعَلُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي الْأَرْضِ رُمَّانَةٌ تُلْقَحُ إِلَّا بِحَبَّةٍ مِنْ حَبِّ الْجَنَّةِ، فَلَعَلَّهَا هَذِهِ»
Abd al-Hamid bin Ja'far narrated from his father that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) would take a seed of the pomegranate and eat it. He was asked: O Ibn Abbas, why do you do this? He said: "It has reached me that there is no pomegranate on earth but that a seed from the seeds of Paradise is included in it, so perhaps it is this one."
