It was narrated from Ibn Hubairah that Maimoon al-Makki told him that
He saw ‘Abdullah bin az-Zubair leading them in prayer, making a motion with his hands when he stood up, when he bowed, when he prostrated, and when he got up again, he stood up and made a motion with his hands. He said: I went to Ibn 'Abbas and said: I saw Ibn az-Zubair praying in a way that I have never seen anyone pray - and I described to him this motion. He said: If you want to see the prayer of the Prophet (ﷺ) then follow the example of the prayer of Ibn az-Zubair.
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: A man said:
How much water is enough for wudoo’? He said: A mudd. He said: How much is sufficient for ghusl? He said: A sa'. The man said: That is not enough for me. He said: May you have no mother! It was enough for one who is better than you, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out, covering his head with his garment, and said: “O people, the people are increasing in number and the Ansar are decreasing. Whoever attains a position of authority in which he is able to benefit anyone, let him accept the good deeds of those who do good and overlook their bad deeds.”
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that
as-Sa'b bin Jaththamah al-Laithi gave the rump of an onager to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was in ihram, and he refused it, and it was dripping with blood.
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that the daughter of Hamzah was suggested to Prophet (ﷺ) (for marriage) and he said:
“She is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding, and what becomes mahram (forbidden for marriage) through breastfeeding is the same as that which becomes mahram through blood ties." 'Affan said: "And she is not permissible for me.”
he asked Ibn 'Abbas about praying in al-Batha', if one does not catch up with the prayer with the imam. He said: Two rak'ahs, the Sunnah of Abul-Qasim (ﷺ).
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his companions came (to Makkah) when the fever of Yathrib had weakened them, and the mushrikeen said: There have come to you people who have been weakened by fever. Allah informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of that, so he instructed his Companions to trot (raml), as the mushrikeen were sitting near the Hijr, watching them. They trotted (raml), and walked between the two corners, and the mushrikeen said: Are these the ones who you said have been weakened by the fever? These are stronger than such and such. Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: Nothing prevented him from telling them to trot in all the circuits except kindness towards them.
It was narrated that ‘Ammar, the freed slave of Banu Hashim, said: I asked Ibn 'Abbas:
How old was the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the day he died? He said: I did not think that a man of such standing among his people as you would be unaware of that. I said: I asked the people and they gave me different answers. I want to know what you say. He said: Do you know how to count? I said: Yes. He said: Bear in mind that he was sent as a Prophet when he was forty. Fifteen years in Makkah, with times of safety and times of fear, and ten years in Madinah after he migrated.
It was narrated that a man said: I heard Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his companions came on the fourth day of Dhul-Hijjah, entering ihram with the intention of Hajj, then he instructed them to make it ‘Umrah, except for those who had a sacrificial animal with them. He said: Regular clothing was worn (after 'Umrah) and incense was burned, and relations were had with wives.
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us and said:
"O people, Hajj has been prescribed for you," al-Aqra’ bin Habis stood up and said: Is it every year, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “If i said that, it would become obligatory, and if it became obligatory, you would not do it and you would not be able to do it. Hajj is once (in a lifetime) and whoever does more, it is voluntary."
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Allah will bring the Black Stone on the Day of Resurrection, and it will have two eyes with which to see and a tongue with which to speak; it will testify for everyone who touched it with proper respect.”
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Madinah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of ‘Ashoora". He said: “What is this day on which you fast?” They said: This is a good day; it is the day on which Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemy, so Moosa fasted on this day. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I am more entitled to (be close to) Moosa than you." So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fasted on that day and enjoined fasting thereon.
'Abdullah bin Tawoos narrated that his father said:
We used to say when we were children: The one who takes back his gift is like the dog that vomits, then goes back to its vomit. And we did not know that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had used this as a likeness until Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told us that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The one who takes back his gift is like the dog that vomits, then goes back to its vomit.”
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that
The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked during the Farewell Pilgrimage: O Messenger of Allah, I shaved my head before I offered my sacrifice, and he gestured with his hand and said, "No problem.” Another man said: O Messenger of Allah, I offered my sacrifice before stoning the Jamrah, and he gestured with his hand and said, “No problem.” He was not asked anything about doing one ritual before or after another but he gestured with his hand and said, “No problem.”
Abu Jamrah told us. I was pushing people back from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه), then I stayed away for a few days and he said: What kept you away? I said: Fever.
He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Fever is from the exhalation of Hell, so cool it down with Zamzam water.”
Abu Jamrah told us; I heard Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say:
I was a boy playing with other boys; I turned around and saw the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) coming towards me. I said: The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) is only coming to me, so I ran and hid behind a door. But suddenly he grabbed me by the back of the neck and gave me a slap between the shoulders and said: "Go and call Mu'awiyah for me” - as he was his scribe. So I ran and said: Go to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ); he wants to talk to you.
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out from Madinah for Makkah, and he fasted until he reached ‘Usfan, then he called for water. He lifted it up so that the people could see, then he broke his fast until he came to Makkah, and that was in Ramadan. And Ibn 'Abbas used to say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fasted and did not fast, so whoever wants may fast and whoever wants may not fast.
