Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34385 — Reports on al-Abbas

Sayyiduna Abd al-Muttalib bin Rabi'ah bin al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while I was with him (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who has made you (may Allah be pleased with him) angry?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is it with the people of Quraysh towards us? When they meet one another, they meet with very pleasant faces, and when they meet us, they are not like that." The narrator said: On hearing this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry, until his (peace and blessings be upon him) face turned red with anger and the vein between his two eyes began to throb. Whenever he (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry, this vein would throb. When his (peace and blessings be upon him) anger subsided, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), faith will never enter the heart of any man until he loves you people for the sake of Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then he said: "O people, whoever hurts Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) has hurt me. A man's paternal uncle is like his father."
