Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 585 to 587)
«رفق به: إذ الان جانبه و حسن صنيعه» This was because Abu Salamah was a contemporary of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma, and there were some differences between them. Abu Salamah used to say with regret: "If only I had acquired knowledge from him."
