وحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ مِنْهَالٍ الضَّرِيرُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، قَالَ : " سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، كَمْ أَتَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ مَاتَ ؟ فَقَالَ : مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسِبُ مِثْلَكَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ ذَاكَ ، قَالَ ، قُلْتُ : إِنِّي قَدْ سَأَلْتُ النَّاسَ ، فَاخْتَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ قَوْلَكَ فِيهِ ، قَالَ : أَتَحْسُبُ ؟ قَالَ ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَمْسِكْ أَرْبَعِينَ بُعِثَ لَهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ بِمَكَّةَ ، يَأْمَنُ ، وَيَخَافُ ، وَعَشْرَ مِنْ مُهَاجَرِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ " .
'Ammar, the freed slave of Banu Hashim, reported: I asked Ibn 'Abbas how old was he when death overtook the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . He said: I little know that such a thing is not known to a man like you who belong to his people. He said: I asked people about it but they differed with me, and I liked to know your opinion about it. He said: Do you know counting? He said: Yes. He then said: Bear this in mind very well that he was commissioned (as a Prophet) at the age of forty, and he stayed in Makkah for fifteen years; sometime in peace and sometime in dread, and (lived) for ten years after his migration to Madinah.
