Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says regarding "Say: I do not ask you for any reward for this except affection for kinship" [Surah al-Shura: 23]: "There was no clan among the clans of Quraysh with which he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not have a tie of birth or in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not have kinship.

So Abdullah (bin Abdullah) said: O Messenger of Allah, you know the standing of Abdullah (bin Ubayy); he has instructed me to ask you for a garment in which he may be shrouded, and that you lead the funeral prayer over him. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him one of his garments and intended to lead the funeral prayer over him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, you know Abdullah (bin Ubayy) and his hypocrisy; will you pray over him when Allah Almighty has forbidden you to pray over him? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where has that been forbidden?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them" [Surah al-Tawbah: 80]. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then I will ask forgiveness more than seventy times." Thereupon Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "And never pray over any of them who dies, nor stand at his grave" [Surah al-Tawbah: 84], and Allah Almighty also revealed: "It is the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; Allah will never forgive them" [Surah al-Munafiqun: 6].

Then a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and sat for a very long time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out three times so that he would follow him (peace and blessings be upon him) out, but he did not get up. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, saw the man, and perceived from the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) his displeasure at the man's remaining seated, so he said: Perhaps you have caused the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) discomfort. The man understood and stood up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I got up three times hoping that you would follow me, but you did not do so." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, if only you would appoint a doorkeeper, for your wives are not like other women, and this screen is for the purity of their hearts. Thereupon Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "O you who believe, do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you" [Surah al-Ahzab: 53] to the end of the verse. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him of it.

And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) consulted Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the captives. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, spare the lives of your people, take ransom from them and seek help with it. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Kill them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had you both agreed on one view, I would not have gone against you." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) acted on the opinion of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "It is not fitting for a prophet to have captives until he has thoroughly subdued (the enemy) in the land; you desire the goods of this world, while Allah desires the Hereafter" [Surah al-Anfal: 67]. Then this verse was revealed: "And indeed We created man from an extract of clay" [Surah al-Mu'minun: 12] to the end of the verses, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Tabarak Allahu ahsan al-khaliqin (Blessed is Allah, the best of creators)," and these very words were revealed in the verse: "So blessed is Allah, the best of creators" [Surah al-Mu'minun: 14].

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)," the polytheists would mock it and say: Muhammad is mentioning the god of Yamamah, because Musaylimah (the Liar) had himself called "al-Rahman." So when this verse was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was ordered not to recite it aloud.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a man came to him and said: I have made my wife forbidden to myself. He said: "She has not become forbidden to you."

He says: O my Lord, I did good deeds for myself and for them. Then the command is given that they be joined with him."

An angel descended from it, and (Jibril) said: "This is an angel who has descended to the earth; he never descended before." The angel greeted with salam and said: Receive the glad tidings of two lights that have been given to you, which were not given to any prophet before you: Surah al-Fatihah and the closing verses of Surah al-Baqarah. You will not recite a single letter of them except that (what is in it) will be granted to you.

Some of those present said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is speaking incoherently (from the severity of illness).
