Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34387 — Reports on al-Abbas

Abu al-Duha Muslim bin Subayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we see in the faces of some people the traces of the battles you (peace and blessings be upon him) fought against them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These people will never attain good until they love you for the sake of Allah and because of my kinship. Do the people of Salhab hope for my intercession, while the Banu Abd al-Muttalib are not to hope for it?"
