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

English translation

It was narrated that Yazeed al-Farisi said:

I saw The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a dream at the time of Ibn 'Abbas. Yazeed used to write the Mushafs. He said: I said to Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه). I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a dream. Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: “The Shaitan cannot appear in my image. Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me." Can you describe to us the man you saw? I said: Yes; I saw a man who was neither tall nor short, his skin was tanned but more whitish, he had a nice smile, his eyes were lined with kohl and his features were handsome. His beard filled from here to here, almost filling his upper chest. Awf said: I am not sure whether this description fits. Ibn 'Abbas said: If you had seen him in real life you could not have described him better than this.

There was only room for one man to sit near Abu Talib, and Abu Jahl was afraid that if the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon his uncle, he might offer him that spot, so he jumped up and sat in that spot. When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered, he could not find anywhere to sit except a spot by the door, so he sat there. Abu Talib said: O son of my brother, your people are complaining about you and they say that you insult their gods, and you say such and such, and you do such and such. He said: "O uncle, all I want from them is to believe in one word by means of which all the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay them jizyah." They said: What is it? Yes, by your father, we will give you ten (words). He said: “La ilaha illallah.” They got up, dusting off their garments and saying, Has he made the alihah (gods) (all) into One Ilah (God - Allah). Verily, this is a curious thing! (Sad 38.5). Then he recited until he reached the words, "Nay, but they have not tasted (My) Torment!”(Sad 38:5-8).
