Musnad of Abdullah ibn al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with them)
Musnad Ahmad 3356 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn al-Abbas ibn Abd
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْأَرْقَمِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ ، قَالَ : سَافَرْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى الشَّامِ ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَوْصَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ ، وَقَالَ : " مَا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى ثَقُلَ جِدًّا ، فَخَرَجَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ ، وَإِنَّ رِجْلَيْهِ لَتَخُطَّانِ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، فَمَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يُوصِ " .
Arqam bin Sharhabil, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once, while traveling from Madinah Munawwarah to Shaam, I had the companionship of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both. During the journey, I asked him, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appoint anyone as his successor (wasi)?" Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith until Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave any congregational prayer even during his illness of death. When his condition became very heavy, even then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came supported between two men in such a way that his blessed feet were dragging lines on the ground. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away in this state, and he did not appoint anyone as his successor (wasi)."
