Said bin Jubayr from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him)

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) paid an expiation with a sa' of dates, and he ordered the people to do the same; and whoever cannot find a sa' should give half a sa'."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite this protective supplication over Sayyiduna Hasan and Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both): "I seek refuge for you both in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and every venomous creature, and from every evil eye."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever visits a sick person whose appointed time of death has not yet come, and says seven times in his presence: 'I ask Allah the Mighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, to cure you,' he will surely be cured."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: I spent the night with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a pillow of sackcloth (coarse hair cloth) for me and placed it under my head.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: "Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his Lord not to divide them into factions, and not to make some of them taste the violence of others, but Allah refused."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three people whose prayer Allah does not accept: the imam of a people who dislike him, a woman who spends the night while her husband is angry with her, and two brothers who have cut off relations with each other."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young, does not respect our elders, and does not recognise our right."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no man who visits a sick person and says seven times: 'I ask Allah the Mighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, to cure you' while his time of death is still delayed, except that (his suffering) is surely eased."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "There is no deed more beloved to Allah than a deed done in these ten days (the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah), except for a man who went out to strive in jihad with his life and his wealth and then did not return."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the night I was taken on the Night Journey (Mi'raj), I noticed a fragrance, so I asked: 'O Jibril, what is this fragrance?' He said: 'This is the fragrance of the woman who combed the hair of Pharaoh's daughter, and of her children.' I asked: 'What is her story?' He said: 'She was combing the hair of Pharaoh's daughter when suddenly the comb fell from her hand, and she said: Bismillah (In the name of Allah). Pharaoh's daughter said: Are you referring to my father? She said: No, rather my Lord, your Lord and your father's Lord is Allah. She said: Do you have a lord other than my father? She said: Yes. She (Pharaoh's daughter) said: Shall I tell him this? She said: Yes, tell him. So she told Pharaoh, and he summoned her and said: O so-and-so, do you have a lord other than me? She said: Yes, my Lord and your Lord is Allah. So he ordered a cow (-shaped furnace) of copper to be made, and it was heated intensely; then her children began to be thrown into it one by one. She said: I have a request of you. He asked: What is it? She said: I would like you to gather my bones and the bones of my children in a single cloth and bury us together. He said: That is (granted) to you as an obligation upon us. So her children kept being thrown into the (copper) cow until it came to the turn of an infant son of hers who was still nursing, and she seemed to hesitate because of him. That child said to her (by the power of Allah): O my mother, leap in, for the punishment of this world is lighter than the punishment of the Hereafter.'" Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Four children spoke at a young age: Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him), the child in the incident of Jurayj, the child who bore witness for Yusuf (peace be upon him), and the son of Pharaoh's mashitah (hair-dresser). (This wording is from the narration of Abu Umar al-Darir.)

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When Allah's Prophet Sulayman (peace be upon him) stood in his place of prayer, he would see a tree growing in front of him, and he would ask it: 'What is your name?' It would say: 'Kharrub (carob).' He (peace be upon him) would ask: 'For what purpose have you grown?' It would say: 'For the ruin of this house.' So Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him) said: 'O Allah, conceal my death from the jinn, so that mankind may know that the jinn do not know the unseen.'" The narrator said: Then he (peace be upon him) carved a staff from that tree on which he would lean, and the termites ate it, so it fell and he (peace be upon him) fell down. The people estimated how long the termites had been eating it and found it to be a year. Then it became clear to mankind that if the jinn had known the unseen, they would not have remained for a year in that humiliating punishment. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to recite this (verse) in this way.
The jinn thanked the termites, and wherever they (the termites) were, the jinn would bring water to them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Prostration is upon seven limbs: the two hands, the two feet, the two knees, and the forehead; and raising the hands is: when you see the Ka'bah, upon Safa and Marwah, at Arafah, at Muzdalifah, at the stoning of the Jamarat, and when the prayer is established."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seventy prophets prayed in Masjid al-Khayf, among them Musa (peace be upon him). It is as if I am looking at him: he was wearing two Qatawani cloaks, he was in the state of ihram, riding a camel from the camels of the Shanu'ah tribe, led by a nose-rope of palm fibre that had two strands."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you sneezes and says 'Alhamdulillah (All praise is for Allah),' the angels say: 'Rabb al-'Alamin (Lord of the worlds).'

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped over the leather socks; then (Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Ask those who claim that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped over the leather socks after Surah al-Ma'idah. By Allah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not wipe after al-Ma'idah; and wiping over the back of a mule or donkey is dearer to me than wiping over these two socks."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: I have not seen any people better than the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They did not ask him (peace and blessings be upon him) about anything except thirteen questions until he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, and all of them are (mentioned) in the Qur'an. Among them are: "They ask you about the sacred month" [Surah al-Baqarah: 217], "They ask you about wine and gambling" [Surah al-Baqarah: 219], "And they ask you about the orphans" [Surah al-Baqarah: 220], "And they ask you about menstruation" [Surah al-Baqarah: 222], "They ask you about the spoils of war" [Surah al-Anfal: 1], and "And they ask you what they should spend" [Surah al-Baqarah: 219]. They only asked about what would benefit them. He also said: "The first to circumambulate the House were the angels; and between the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner there are graves of the prophets (peace be upon them); and whenever a prophet was harmed by his people, he would leave from among them and worship Allah there until he died."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked my Lord a question which I wish I had not asked. I said: 'O Lord, there were messengers before me; for some of them You subjected the winds, and through some of them You brought the dead to life.' Allah Almighty said: 'Did I not find you an orphan and give you shelter? Did I not find you astray and guide you? Did I not find you in need and make you self-sufficient? Did I not expand your chest for you, and remove your burden from you?' I said: 'Certainly, O Lord!'" (The wording of both chains is the same.)

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that a bowl of tharid was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat from its sides and do not eat from its middle, for the blessing descends in its middle."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to show him the rites of Hajj. (Mount) Thabir opened up for him, and he entered Mina and showed him the Jamarat, then he showed him Muzdalifah and Arafat. When he reached the Jamrah, Iblis appeared before him, so he threw seven pebbles at him and he sank into the ground. Then he appeared again, until (the narrator) mentioned Jamrat al-Aqabah as well, and he sank into the ground and went away.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) took the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Jamrat al-Aqabah, and Satan appeared before him; he threw seven pebbles at him and he sank into the ground. Then he came to the farthest Jamrah, and Satan appeared before him again; he threw seven pebbles at him.
When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) intended to slaughter Sayyiduna Ishaq (peace be upon him), he said to his father: "When you slaughter me, move away from me, lest I struggle and my blood splash on you." So he tied him up. When he took the blade and wanted to slaughter him, he was called from behind: "O Ibrahim, you have fulfilled the vision" [Surah al-Saffat: 105].

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) took the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to show him the rites, and brought him to Jamrat al-Aqabah, where Iblis was present. He instructed him, and he threw seven pebbles at him, and he sank into the ground. Then he came to the middle Jamrah, and Iblis was there too; he instructed him, and he threw seven pebbles at him, and he sank into the ground. Then he came to the third Jamrah and did the same there. Then he brought him to Muzdalifah, then he recited the talbiyah from Arafat.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: I went out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Eid al-Fitr. He (peace and blessings be upon him) began with the prayer before the sermon, without adhan or iqamah. Then he mounted his riding animal and delivered the sermon upon it. Then he came to the women, addressed them, encouraged them to give charity, and said: "O women, give charity." So a woman would take off her garment, her ring and her earring and throw it in, and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) kept collecting it in his cloth.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Jews disputed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Do you eat what we have killed, and not eat what Allah has killed?" So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "And do not eat of that over which the name of Allah has not been mentioned" [Surah al-An'am: 121].

Concerning the verse, "Whether you reveal what is in your hearts or conceal it, Allah will hold you to account for it" [Surah al-Baqarah: 284], Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When it was revealed, it weighed very heavily on the Muslims and was hard for them, so Allah Almighty abrogated it and revealed this verse: "Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity" [Surah al-Baqarah: 286].

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that when the Qur'an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would try to receive it hastily with his tongue and lips, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) had to endure great hardship in this. So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it" [Surah al-Qiyamah: 16], meaning: do not try to grasp it hastily. "Indeed, upon Us is its collection and its recitation" [Surah al-Qiyamah: 17], meaning: We will gather it in your chest and make you recite it. "So when We have recited it" [Surah al-Qiyamah: 18], meaning: when We have revealed it, "then follow its recitation" [Surah al-Qiyamah: 18], meaning: listen and remain silent. "Then upon Us is its explanation" [Surah al-Qiyamah: 19], meaning: We will make it clear through your tongue. After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at ease.

Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the words of Allah Almighty: "Woe to you, and then woe! Then woe to you, and then woe!" [Surah al-Qiyamah: 34-35]: Is it something the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said himself, or something Allah revealed? He said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said it himself, then Allah revealed it."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: I was performing tawaf with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man saying: "O Allah, forgive so-and-so son of so-and-so." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is this?" He said: "A man asked me to supplicate for him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your companion has been forgiven."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We wished that Musa (peace be upon him) had been patient with him (with Khidr, peace be upon him), so that he would have told us more of the story of the two of them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married while he was in the state of ihram.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "The dreams of the prophets (peace be upon them) are revelation."

Concerning the verse, "You are the best nation brought forth for mankind" [Surah Al Imran: 110], Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "It refers to those who emigrated with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to Madinah."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and confessed twice, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take him away." Then he said: "Bring him back." So he confessed twice more, until he had confessed four times. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take him away and stone him."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ma'iz bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): "Is what has reached me about you true?" He said: "What has reached you about me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has reached me that you committed fornication with the slave-girl of such-and-such a tribe." He said: "Yes," and he testified four times, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order and he was stoned.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him): "Is what has reached me about you true?" Then the narrator mentioned a narration similar to the hadith of Abu Awanah.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in the shade of a room, and the shade was about to shrink, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man will soon come to you who will look at you with the eyes of a devil; when he comes to you, do not speak to him." Not much time had passed when a man appeared. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and said: "On what basis do you and your companions abuse me?" He said: "Call them." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) called them, and they began swearing by Allah that they had neither said it nor done it, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) pardoned them. So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all, they will swear to Him as they swear to you" [Surah al-Mujadilah: 18] to the end of the verse.
