Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Nadr ibn Kathir as-Saadi said: Abdullah ibn Tawus prayed at my side in the mosque of al-Khayf. When he made the first prostration, he raised his head after it and raised his hands opposite to his face. This came as something strange for me. I, therefore, said it to Wuhayb ibn Khalid. Then Wuhayb ibn Khalid said to him: You are doing a thing that I did not see anyone do. Ibn Tawus then replied: I saw my father doing it, and my father said: I saw Ibn Abbas doing it. I do not know but he said: The Prophet ﷺ used to do it.

Ibn Abbas said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for praying at midnight, he said: o Allah, be praise to Thee, Thou art the light of the heavens and the earth; and to Thee be praise; Thou are the maintainer of the heavens and the earth; and to Thee be praise, Thou art the heavens and the earth and what is between them; Thou art the truth, and Thy statement is truth; and Thy promise is the truth; and the visitation with Thee is true; and the Paradise is true and the Hell-fire is true and the Hour is true; O Allah, to Thee I turned my attention, and by Thee I disputed, and to Thee I brought forth my case, so forgive me my former and latter sins, and my secret and open sins, Thou art my deity, there is no deity but Thou.

Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say in his tahajjud prayer (i. e. supererogatory prayer offered in or after the midnight) after he said the takbir; he then narrated the tradition to the same effect.

Narrated Uthman ibn Affan:: Yazid al-Farisi said: I heard Ibn Abbas say: I asked Uthman ibn Affan: What moved you to put the (Surah) al-Baraah which belongs to the mi'in (surahs) (containing one hundred verses) and the (Surah) al-Anfal which belongs to the mathani (Surahs) in the category of as-sab'u at-tiwal (the first long surah or chapters of the Quran), and you did not write "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" between them? Uthman replied: When the verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ, he called someone to write them down for him and said to him: Put this verse in the surah in which such and such has been mentioned; and when one or two verses were revealed, he used to say similarly (regarding them). (Surah) al-Anfal is the first surah that was revealed at Madina, and (Surah) al-Baraah was revealed last in the Quran, and its contents were similar to those of al-Anfal. I, therefore, thought that it was a part of al-Anfal. Hence I put them in the category of as-sab'u at-tiwal (the seven lengthy surahs), and I did not write "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" between them.

The above mentioned tradition has been reported by ibn abbas through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, but he did not mention to us that surah al baraah ins a part of al-anfal. Abu Dawood said: Al-sha’bl, Abu Malik, Qatadah, and Thabit bin Umarah said: The prophet ﷺ did not write”In the name of Allah, the compassionate, the merciful” until Surah al-naml was revealed. This is the meaning of what they said. Further, this is a mursal traditional (omitting the name of the companion)

Ibn Abbas said: The prophet ﷺ did not distinguish between the two surahs until the words “In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the merciful” was revealed to him. These are the words of Ibn al-sarh.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Abdullah ibn Ubaydullah said: I went to Ibn Abbas accompanying some youths of Banu Hashim. We said to one of them: Ask Ibn Abbas: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite (the Quran) in the noon and afternoon prayers? He replied: No. People said to him: Perhaps he might recite the Quran quietly. He said: May your face be scratched (a kind of curse)! This (statement) is worse than the former. He was only a servant (of Allah) receiving Commands from Him. He preached (the divine) message which he brought with him. He did not command anything to us (Banu Hashim) specially excluding other people except three points: he commanded us to perform ablution perfectly, and not to accept charity (sadaqah) and not to make pairing of donkey with horse.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: I do not know whether the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would recite the Quran at the noon and afternoon prayer or not.

Um al-fadl daughter of al-Harith said: I heard IbnAbbas reciting wa’l-mursalat urfan (surah lxxxvii). She said; sonny you have reminded me of this surah by your recitation. Thie is the last surah which I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting in the sunset prayer.

Tawus said: we asked Ibn Abbas about sitting on heels between the two prostrations. He said: It is the sunnah. We said: We look upon it as a pressure on the foot. He said: This is the sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ used to say between the two prostrations: "O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, heal me, and provide for me. "

Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ lifted the curtain (and saw that) the people were standing in rows (of prayers) behind Abu Bakr. He said: O people, there remained nothing that gives good tidings from prophethood except a true dream which a Muslim has himself or which another Muslim has for him. I have been prohibited to recite the Quran while bowing or prostration. As regards owing, exalt the Lord in it, and as to prostration, make supplication with exertion in it, that is worthy of being accepted.

Ibn Abbas reported; when the prophet ﷺ recited: “Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High. ” He would say: ”Glory be to Allah, the most High”. Abu Dawud said; In this tradition the other narrators have differed from the narrator Wakl. This has been narrated by Wakl, and Shubah from Abu Ishaq, from Sa’ld bin Jubair, from Ibn Abbas as his own statement (and not from the Prophet)

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ibn Abbas reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: I have been commanded - according to the version of Hammad: Your Prophet ﷺ was commanded - to prostrate on seven (bones), and not to fold back the hair or the clothing.

Ibn Abbas reported the prophet ﷺ as saying: I have been commanded, and sometimes the narrator said: Your prophet ﷺ was commanded to prostrate on seven limbs.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: I came to the Prophet ﷺ from behind. I saw the whiteness of his armpits and he kept his arms away from his sides and raised his stomach (from the ground).

Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us the tashahhud as he would teach us the Quran, and would say: The blessed adoration of the tongue, acts of worship (and) all good things are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah’s upright servants. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger ﷺ.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ used to say after the tashahhud: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the punishment in Hell, and I seek refuge in Thee from the punishment in the grave, and I seek refuge in Thee from the trial of antichrist, and I seek refuge in Thee from the trial of life and death. "

Ibn Abbas said: The end of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was known by the takbir (pronounced aloud).

Ibn Abbas said: To raise the voice for making the mention of Allah after the people had finished their obligatory prayer was for in vogue the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ibn Abbas said: I used to know by it when they finished the prayer and would listen to it (making the mention of Allah).

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ named the two prostrations of forgetfulness disgraceful for the devil.

Ibn Sirin said: Ibn Abbas said to his Muadhdhin on a rainy day: “when you utter the words ‘ I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, ” do not say, ” Come to prayer” but say “Pray at your homes, ” By this (announcement) the people were surprised. He said: One who was better than me has done it. The Friday prayer is an obligatory duty. But I disliked to put you to hardship so that you might walk in mud and rain.

bn Abbas said: The Friday prayer first offered in Islam after the Friday prayer offered in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is Friday prayer offered at Juwatha, a village from the villages of al-Bahrain. The narrator Uthman said: it is a village from the village of the tribe of Abd al-Qais.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ata ibn Abu Rabah said: Ibn az-Zubayr led us in the Eid prayer on Friday early in the morning. When we went to offer the Friday, he did not come out to us. So we prayed ourselves alone. At that time Ibn Abbas was present in at-Taif. When he came to us, we mentioned this (incident) to him. He said: He followed the sunnah.

Ibn Abbas said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the morning prayer on Friday Surah Tanzil al-Sajdah (xxxii. ) and Surah al-Dahr (lxxi. ).

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out on Eid (the festival day). He first offered the prayer and then delivered the sermon. He then went to women, taking Bilal with him. The narrator Ibn Kathir said: The probable opinion of Shubah is that he commanded them to give alms. So they began to put (their jewellery).

The above mentioned tradition has also been narrated by Ibn Abbas to the same effect through a different chain of transmitters. This version adds: He (the Prophet) thought that women could not hear (his sermon). So he went to them and Bilal was in his company. He gave them exhortation and commanded them to give alms. Some women put their ear-rings and other their rings in the garment of Bilal.

The above mentioned tradition has also bee transmitted by Ibn Abbas through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: The women began to give their ear-rings and rings in alms. Bilal began to collect them in his garment. He (the Prophet) then distributed them among the poor Muslims.

Abdur-Rahman bin Abis said: A man asked Ibb Abbas: Have you been present along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? He replied: Yes. Had there been no dignity for me in his eyes, I would not have been present with him due to my minority. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the point that was near the house of Kathir bin al-Salt. He prayed and afterwards preached. He (Ibn Abbas) did not mention the adhan (call to prayer) and the iqamah. He then commanded to give alms. The women began to point to their ears and throats (to give their jewelry in alms).

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the Eid prayer without the adhan and the iqamah. Abu Bakr and Umar or Uthman also did so. The narrator Yahya is doubtful about Uthman.

Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out on the day of the breaking of the fast and prayed two rak'ahs, before and after which he did not pray. He then went to women, taking Bilal with him, and commanded them to given alms. So one began to put her ear-ring and another her necklace (in the garment of Bilal).

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Kinanah reported: Al-Walid ibn Utbah or (according to the version of Uthman) al-Walid ibn Uqbah, the then governor of Madina, sent me to Ibn Abbas to ask him about the prayer for rain offered by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out wearing old clothes in a humble and lowly manner until he reached the place of prayer. He then ascended the pulpit, but he did not deliver the sermon as you deliver (usually). He remained engaged in making supplication, showing humbleness (to Allah) and uttering the takbir (Allah is most great). He then offered two rak'ahs of prayer as done on the Eid (festival). Abu Dawud said: This is the version of al-Nufail. What is correct is Ibn Utbah's

Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed at the solar eclipse as reported in the tradition narrated by Urwah from Aishah from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he offered two rak'ahs of prayer bowing twice in each rak'ah.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ prayed at solar eclipse; he recited from the Quran and then bowed; then he recited from the Quran and then bowed; he then recited from the Quran and bowed; he then recited fromt eh Quran and bowed. Then he prostrated himself and performed the second rak'ah similar to the first.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: An eclipse of the sun took place. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed along with the people. He stood up for a long time nearly equal to the recitation of Surah al Baqarah. H then bowed. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition.

Ikrimah said: Ibn Abbas was informed that so-and-so, a certain wife of the Prophet ﷺ, had died. He fell down prostrating himself. He was questioned: Why do you prostrate yourself this moment? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When you see a portent (an accident), prostrate yourselves. And which portent (accident) can be greater than the death of a wife of the Prophet ﷺ.

Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined the noon and the afternoon prayers, and combined the sunset and night prayers without any danger or journey. Malik said: I think it so happened during rain. Abu Dawud said: Hammad bin Salamah narrated it like manner from Abu al-Zubair, it has also been narrated by Qurrah bin Khalid from Abu al-Zubair. He said: It is so happened in a journey that we made to Tabuk.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined the noon and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers at Madina without any danger and rain. He was asked: What did he intend by it ? He replied: He intended that his community might not fall into hardship.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer at Madina eight of seven rak'ahs, in the noon and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers. The narrator Sulaiman and Musaddad did not say the words "led us". Abu Dawud said: The aforesaid tradition has also been narrated by Salih, the client of Tu'mah on the authority if Ibn Abbas saying: "Not during rain. "

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a stop of seventeen days in Makkah and he shortened the prayer (i. e. prayed two rak'ahs at each time of prayer). Ibn Abbas said: He who stays seventeen days should shorten the prayer; and who stays more than that should offer complete prayer. Abu Dawud said: The other version transmitted by Ibn Abbas through a different chain adds: He (the Prophet) had a stop of nineteen days (in Makkah).
