أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ
عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ
سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ:
"مَا رَأَيْتُ قَوْمًا كَانُوا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَا سَأَلُوهُ إِلَّا عَنْ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ مَسْأَلَةً حَتَّى قُبِضَ، كُلُّهُنَّ، فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْهُنَّ، يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ سورة البقرة آية 217، وَ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ سورة البقرة آية 222، قَالَ: مَا كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ إِلَّا عَمَّا يَنْفَعُهُمْ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I have not seen people better than the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and throughout the entire life of the Prophet (peace be upon him), they only asked him thirteen questions, all of which are mentioned in the Noble Qur’an, such as: «﴿يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ ...﴾» (Al-Baqarah: 2/217) “They ask you about the sacred month,” «﴿وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ ...﴾» (Al-Baqarah: 2/222) “They ask you about menstruation.” He also stated that the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would only ask those questions and issues which were beneficial to them.
