Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 12787 — I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ السَّامِيُّ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ كَمْ أَتَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَوْمَ مَاتَ؟ قَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى مِثْلَكَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ ذَلكَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي قَدْ سَأَلْتُ فَاخْتَلَفَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ قَوْلَكَ فِيهِ، قَالَ: أَتَحْسِبُ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «خُذْ أَرْبَعِينَ بُعِثَ لَهَا، وَخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مُقَامُهُ بِمَكَّةَ يَأْمَنُ وَيَخَافُ، وَعَشْرًا مُهَاجَرُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ»
Ammar bin Abi Ammar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "How old was the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day he passed away?" He said: "I did not expect that this would be hidden from someone like you." I said: "I asked about it and received differing answers, so I wanted to know your view on it." He said: "Can you count?" I said: "Yes." He said: "Take forty years, at (the age of) which he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent as a prophet; and fifteen years of his stay in Makkah, during which he (peace and blessings be upon him) was at times in safety and at times in fear; and ten years (of his stay) in Madinah after the emigration."
