حدثنا أبو زكريا يحيى بن محمد العَنْبَري، حدثنا أبو عبد الله محمد بن إبراهيم العَبْدي، حدثنا يوسف بن عَدِيّ، حدثنا جَرِير، عن مُغيرة، عن أبي رَزِينٍ، قال: قيل للعباس بن عبد المُطلب: أيُّما أكبرُ، أنتَ أم النبيُّ ﷺ؟ فقال: هو أكبرُ مني، وأنا وُلِدتُ قبله (1).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was asked: "Are you older, or the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied (with the utmost courtesy and reverence): "He (the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)) is the greater, but I was born before him."
فأخبرني عبد الله محمد بن إسحاق الخُزاعي بمكة، حدثنا جَدّي، حدثنا الزُّبير بن بَكّار، قال: كان العباس أسنَّ من رسول الله ﷺ بثلاث سنين: إلى أُتِيَ، إلى أمي، فقيل لها: وَلَدَت آمنهُ غلامًا، فخرجَتْ بي حين أصبَحَتْ آخِذةً بيدي حتى دَخَلْنا عليها، فكأني أنظُرُ إليه يَمصَعُ رِجلَيه في عَرْصَتِه، وجعل النساءُ تجذبُني (2) ويَقُلنَ: قَبِّل أخاكَ. قال: ومات العباسُ سنة أربع وثلاثين وهو ابن ثمان وثمانين سنة (3).
Al-Zubayr bin Bakkar relates that Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was three years older than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: (When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was born) my mother was told that Sayyidah Aminah had given birth to a boy. So in the morning she took me by the hand to her. It is as if I can still see him (peace and blessings be upon him) moving his feet in his courtyard, while the women were pulling me towards them and saying: "Kiss your brother." Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the year 34 AH, and at that time he was 88 years old.
