Musnad of 'Abdullah bin al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib from the Prophet

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Shaqeeq said:

Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) addressed us one day after ‘Asr, until the sun set and the stars came out, and the people started calling: The prayer, the prayer! Among the people was a man of Banu Tameem, who started saying: The prayer, the prayer. He got angry and said: Are you teaching me the Sunnah? I was present and saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) put together Zuhr and ‘Asr, and Maghrib and 'Isha'. ‘Abdullah said: I was not sure about that, so when I met Abu Hurairah I asked him, and he confirmed it.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that he said: When the verse on debt was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"The first one to deny something was Adam (عليه السلام). Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, created Adam, then He wiped his back, and brought forth from him, all of his offspring until the Day of Resurrection, and He showed him his progeny. Among them he saw a man with a bright, white face, and he said: O Lord, who is this? He said: This is your son Dawood. He said: O Lord, how long will his life be? He said: Sixty years. He said: O Lord, make his life longer. He said: No, not unless I take it from your life. And the life of Adam was one thousand years. So he gave him forty years and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, recorded that in a Book, and the angels bore witness to it. When Adam was dying and the angels came to him to take his soul, he said: There are still forty years of my life left. It was said to him: You gave that to your son Dawood. He said: I did not do that. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, showed him the record and the angels testified to that.

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not recite Qur'an to the jinn and he did not see them. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out with a group of his companions, heading towards the market of ‘Ukaz. The devils had been prevented from hearing the news of heaven, and shooting stars had been sent against them. The devils went back to their people, who said: What is the matter with you? They said: Something is preventing us from hearing the news of heaven, and shooting stars have been sent against us. They said: That can only be because something has happened; travel throughout the earth, east and west, and see what it is that is preventing you from hearing the news of heaven. So they went and traveled throughout the earth, east and west, to find out what was preventing them from hearing the news of heaven. The group that headed towards Tihamah came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was in Nakhlah, on his way to the market of ‘Ukaz, and he was leading his companions in Fajr prayer. When they heard the Qur'an, they listened to it, and said: This, by Allah, is what has prevented us from hearing the news of heaven. Then they went back to their people and said: O our people, "Verily! We have heard a wonderful Recitation (this Qur'an)! It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein" [al-Jinn 72:1]. Then Allah revealed to His Prophet (ﷺ): "Say (O Muhammad): It has been revealed to me that..." [al-Jinn 72:1]. And what was revealed to him was what the jinn said.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) defined the meeqat of the people of Madinah as Dhul-Hulaifah; that of the people of Sham (Syria) as al-Juhfah; that of the people of Najd as Qarnul Manazil; and that of the people of Yemen as Yalamlam. And he said: “And these meeqats are for the people at those very places, and besides them for those who come through those places with the intention of performing Hajj and ‘Umrah; and whoever is living within these boundaries can enter ihram from the place he sets out, and so on, and the people of Makkah can enter ihram from Makkah."

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) married Maimoonah when he was in ihram.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

They used to think that 'Umrah during the months of Hajj was one of the greatest evils on earth, and they would make Muharram Safar. They would say: when the backs of the camels have healed and the tracks of the pilgrims have become erased and Safar is over, 'Umrah becomes permissible for those who want to do 'Umrah. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions came on the fourth (of Dhul Hijjah), reciting the Talbiyah for Hajj, and he told them to make it ‘Umrah. This was too hard for them, and they said: O Messenger of Allah, exiting ihram to what extent? He said: "Completely.”

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade selling foodstuff until it has been received in full. I [the narrator] said to him: Why was that? He said: It would be just like selling dirhams for dirhams, as the food is something postponed.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

The Prophet (ﷺ) got up at night to pray. So I [Ibn 'Abbas] got up and did wudoo’, then I stood on his left, but he pulled me and made me stand on his right. He prayed thirteen rak'ahs in which the length of standing was equal.

‘Urwah said to Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه):

How long will you misguide the people, O Ibn 'Abbas? He said: Why are you saying that, O' Urwah? He said: You enjoin us to do ‘Umrah in the months of Hajj when Abu Bakr and ‘Umar forbade that! Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did that. 'Urwah said: They [Abu Bakr and 'Umar] followed the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) more closely and had more knowledge about him than you.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

'Uqbah bin ‘Amir came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said that his sister had vowed to walk to the Ka'bah. He said: “Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has no need of your sister's vow. Let her do Hajj riding and offer a camel as a sacrifice.”

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, made Makkah a sanctuary. It was not permitted for anyone before me (to fight therein) and it will not be permissible for anyone after me (to do so). Rather (fighting therein) was only permitted for part of a day. Its green grass is not to be cut, its trees are not to be chopped down, its game is not to be disturbed and its lost property is not to be picked up except by the one who announces it." al-'Abbas said: Except idhkhir (a kind of grass), for it is used by our blacksmiths and in our graves. He said: " Except idhkhir.”

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

Two men referred a dispute to the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked the claimant for proof. He did not have any proof, so he asked the defendant to swear an oath and he swore by Allah, besides Whom there is no other god. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "You did it, but you will be forgiven for your sincerity in saying there is no god but Allah."

Sa'eed bin Jubair said: I heard Ibn 'Abbas say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood before us and delivered a khutbah, and said:

"O people, you will be gathered to Allah barefoot, naked and uncircumcised, ‘As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it’ [al-Anbiya’ 21:104]. The first of creation to be clothed will be Ibraheem (عليه السلام). Then some men of my ummah will be brought and taken to the left, and I will say: 'O Lord, my companions!' It will be said: You do not know what they did after you were gone. And I will say as the righteous slave ('Eesa) said: they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise’ (al-Ma’idah 5:117,118). Then it will be said to me: ‘These ones kept turning on their heels since you left them.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up before us to exhort us... and he narrated the same report.

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: I heard Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say:

What you call al-Mufassal is al-Muhkam.[1] The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) died when I was ten years old and I had learned al-Muhkam.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was shrouded in two pieces of white cloth and a red cloak.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

Ibraheem brought Isma'eel and Hajar, and left them in Makkah at the site of Zamzam…. and he narrated the hadeeth. Then she came from al-Marwah to Isma’eel, and the spring had begun to flow. She started digging with her hands around the spring, to make a hole so that the water would gather in this hole, then she took her jug and scooped up some water into her waterskin. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “May Allah have mercy on her; if she had left it alone it would have been a spring flowing (on the surface) until the Day of Resurrection.”

Muhammad bin 'Amr bin 'Ata' told us that

he heard Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say: The Prophet (ﷺ) ate a grilled leg or shoulder (of an animal) then he prayed, and he did not do wudoo’ or touch water.

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

We came with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as pilgrims, and he told them to make it [Hajj] 'Umrah, then he said: "If l had known before what I know now, I would have done what you have done. But now 'Umrah has been incorporated into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.” Then he interlaced his fingers. And the people exited ihram, except those who had the hady with them. ‘Ali came from Yemen and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: “For what have you entered ihram?” He said: "I have entered ihram for what you entered ihram for." He said: “Do you have a hady with you?" He said: No. He said: "Then carry on as you are, and you can have one-third of my hady." And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had one hundred camels with him.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that a woman brought a son of hers to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said:

O Messenger of Allah, he is possessed; it affects him at our lunch and dinner and spoils our meals. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wiped his chest and prayed for him, and he coughed, then something like a little black dog came out of his mouth and ran away.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) picked up a bone from a pot (and ate from it), then he prayed and did not do wudoo’.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn 'Umar that they heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:

"Some people should stop neglecting Jumu’ah or Allah will place a seal on their hearts, then they will be recorded as being among the negligent.”

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer for the Negus.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

Allah enjoined prayer on the lips of your Prophet (ﷺ), four (rak'ahs) when not travelling, two rak'ahs when travelling, and one rak'ah at times of fear.

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

”There is none of the sons of Adam who do not sin or think of sinning, except Yahya bin Zakariya, and it is not appropriate for anyone to say that I am better than Yoonus bin Matta (عليه السلام).”
