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

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“In some poetry there is wisdom and in eloquence there is (an impact like that of) magic.”

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

“No ‘adwa [transmission of infectious disease without the permission of Allah], no tiyarah [superstitious belief in bird omens], no Safar and no ham [refers to a Jahili Arab tradition described variously as: a worm that infests the grave of a murder victim until he is avenged; an owl; or the bones of a dead person turned into a bird that could fly]." Simak said that (the word) Safar referred to a worm in a person's stomach. A man said: O Messenger of Allah, there may be one mangy camel in a hundred, and it transfers the disease to them. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Then who infected the first one?"

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray on a mat made of palm tree leaves.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) moved on from ‘Arafah and he commanded them to be calm. He seated Usamah bin Zaid behind him on his mount and said:

"O people, you should be calm and dignified, for it is not righteousness to move quickly with camels and horses." And I never saw any camel raising its feet and running until it reached Muzdalifah. Then he seated al-Fadl bin 'Abbas behind him on his mount from Muzdalifah to Mina, saying: “O people, you should be calm and dignified, for it is not righteousness to move quickly with camels and horses.” And I never saw any camel raising its feet and running until it reached Mina.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sacrificed one hundred camels, among which was a red camel that had belonged to Abu Jahl; in its nose was a ring of silver.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever speaks about the Qur'an without knowledge, let him take his place in Hell."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that

A woman whose husband was away (in jihad) came to a man to buy something from him and he said: Go into that small room and I will give it to you. Then he kissed her and touched her, and she said: Woe to you, my husband is away. So he left her alone. Then he regretted doing that, and he went to ‘Umar and told him what he had done. ‘Umar said: Woe to you! perhaps her husband is away (on jihad)? He said: [Yes], her husband is away. ‘Umar said: Go to Abu Bakr and ask him. So he went to Abu Bakr and told him (what had happened). Abu Bakr said: Woe to you! Perhaps her husband is away? He said: Yes, he is away. Abu Bakr said: Go to the Prophet (ﷺ) and tell him. So he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and told him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Perhaps her husband is away?" He said: Her husband is away. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remained silent, and Qur'an was revealed: "And perform As-Salat (Iqamatas-Salat), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory Salat (prayers)].” [Hood 11:114]. The man said: O Messenger of Allah, is it only for me or for all the people? 'Umar said: No, do not think that; rather it is for all the people. The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled and said: “‘Umar is right.”

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said concerning the words of the jinn,

“... when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd” [al-Jinn 72:19]. When they saw him leading his Companions in prayer, and they were following his prayer, bowing when he bowed and prostrating when he prostrated, they were amazed at how his Companions obeyed him. When they went back to their companions they said: When the slave (devotee) of Allah - meaning the Prophet (ﷺ) - stood up invoking Him, they made round him a dense crowd.

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out during his final illness with a cloth wrapped around his head and sat on the minbar. He praised and glorified Allah then he said:

"There is no one who supported me by his actions and with his wealth more than Abu Bakr bin Abi Quhafah. If I were to take a close friend (khaleel) among people, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend. But the brotherhood of Islam is better. Block up for me every door into this mosque, except the door of Abu Bakr."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that when Ma'iz bin Malik came to the Prophet (ﷺ), he said:

"Perhaps you kissed her, or touched her, or looked at her?" He said: No. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said bluntly: “Did you have intercourse with her?" He said: Yes. At that, he ordered that he be stoned.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to seek refuge with Allah for al-Hasan and al-Husain, saying:

“I seek refuge for you in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and poisonous reptile, and from every envious evil eye.” Then he would say: "This is how my father Ibraheem used to seek refuge for Isma'eel and Ishaq (عليهما السلام)."

It was narrated that Zaid bin Aslam said: 'Abdur-Rahman bin Wa'lah said:

I said to Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه): We go out on campaign and people bring animal skins and waterskins to us. He said: I do not know what to say to you except that I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Any animal skin that has been tanned has become tahir (pure)."

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) was commanded to prostrate on seven and not to tuck up his hair or garment.

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) got married when he was in ihram.

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

“Whoever buys foodstuff should not sell it until he receives it in full.” Ibn 'Abbas said: I think everything is like foodstuff.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه), from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said:

"Eat from the edges of the platter and not from the middle, for the blessing descends in the middle.”

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) - I [the narrator] think he attributed it to the Prophet (ﷺ) - he said:

When he raised his head from bowing, he said: "Allah hears the one who praises Him, O Allah our Lord, to You be praise filling the heaven, filling the earth and filling whatever else You will.”

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) proposed to Maimoonah bint al-Harith; she appointed al-'Abbas as her guardian, and he gave her in marriage to the Prophet (ﷺ).

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

The Muslims killed a mushrik man on the day of al-Khandaq, and they sent an envoy to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), offering a ransom for his body. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “It is evil; an evil ransom and an evil body. Let them take it.”

It was narrated from ‘Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that

The Prophet (ﷺ) drew up a covenant between the Muhajireen and Ansar: “They will pay their diyah and ransom their prisoners on the basis of the kindness and justice common among the Muslims.”

A similar report was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه).

A similar report.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) acquired his sword Dhul-Faqar as booty on the day of Badr and it was the one concerning which he saw a dream on the day of Uhud. He said: “I saw a dent in my sword Dhul-Faqar and I interpreted it as some harm that will reach you. I dreamt that I seated a ram behind me on my mount and I interpreted it as meaning that a main man in the army would be killed. I dreamt that I was wearing strong armour, and I interpreted it as referring to Madinah. I saw cattle being slaughtered [in my dream]; to see cattle slaughtered is better, by Allah; to see cattle slaughtered is better, by Allah." And what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said is what happened.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Hearing about something is not the same as seeing it with one's own eyes. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, told Moosa what his people had done to the calf, and he did not throw down the Tablets, but when he saw what they had done, he threw down the Tablets and they broke.

Husain bin 'Abdur-Rahman said:

I was with Sa’eed bin Jubair and he said: Who among you saw the shooting star last night? I said: I did. Then I said: I was not praying, but I was stung by a scorpion. He said: What did you do? I said: I asked someone to recite ruqyah for me. He said: What made you do that? I said: A hadeeth which ash-Sha'bi narrated to us from Buraidah al-Aslami, who said: There should be no ruqyah except for the evil eye or a fever. Sa’eed - meaning Ibn Jubair - said: He who acts according to what he has heard has done well. Then he said: Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told us that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The nations were shown to me and I saw a Prophet with a group of men, a Prophet with one or two men, and a Prophet with no one with him. Then a huge multitude was shown to me, and I thought that they were my ummah, but it was said to me, ‘This is Moosa and his people. But look at the horizon.’ I looked, and there was a huge multitude. Then it was said to me: ‘Look at the other horizon,’ and there was (another) huge multitude. It was said to me: ‘This is your ummah, and among them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being called to account or punished.’" Then the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and went into his house, and the people started discussing and said: Who are those who will enter Paradise without being called to account or being punished? Some of them said: Perhaps they are the ones who accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Some said: Perhaps they are those who were born in Islam and never associated anything with Allah. And they mentioned several ideas. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out and said: “What are you discussing?" They told him, and he said: “They are the ones who did not use cautery or ask anyone to perform ruqyah for them, and were not superstitious, and they put their trust in their Lord." ‘Ukkashah bin Mihsan stood up and said: Will I be one of them, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “You will be one of them.” Another man stood up and said: Will I be one of them, O Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “‘Ukkashah has beaten you to it."

’Abdullah told us: Shuja' told me: Hushaim told us:...
