Hadith 3652

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَاق، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ : " مَكَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً ، يَعْنِي يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ ، وَتُوُفِّيَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَسِتِّينَ سَنَةً " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَابِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، وَأَنَسٍ ، وَدَغْفَلِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ ، وَلَا يَصِحُّ لِدَغْفَلٍ سَمَاعٌ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا رُؤْيَةٌ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ .
´Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:` "The Prophet (ﷺ) stayed in Makkah for thirteen years - meaning while he was receiving Revelation - and he died when he was sixty-three years old."

Hadith Commentary:
When the student of Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu), Ammar bin Abi Ammar, narrates from him, his words are as follows:
"The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stayed in Makkah Mukarramah for fifteen years after the revelation began; for seven of those years, he would see light and radiance, and would hear voices from the unseen, then for eight years, the series of revelation continued uninterrupted."
(Sahih Muslim, Al-Fada'il, Hadith: 6401(2353))

However, the correct view is that after receiving prophethood, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) remained in Makkah Mukarramah for thirteen years, then when he was commanded to migrate, he stayed in Madinah Tayyibah for ten years, as is mentioned in Sahih Bukhari.
