It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in the first rak'ah of Fajr prayer:
“We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibraheem (Abraham)..." [al-Baqarah 2:136] to the end of the verse; and in the second rak'ah he would recite: "we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are Muslims (i.e. we submit to Allah)" [Al 'Imran 3:52].
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out humbly, beseeching, with humbleness, wearing shabby clothes and walking at a measured pace, then he led the people in praying two rak'ahs, like the Eid prayer, and he did not deliver a khutbah like this khutbah of yours.
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) left Makkah, ‘Ali took the daughter of Hamzah with him; 'Ali, Ja'far and Zaid disputed concerning her (i.e., who would take care of her) and referred their dispute to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). 'Ali said: She is the daughter of my paternal uncle and I brought her with me. Ja'far said: She is the daughter of my paternal uncle and her maternal aunt is married to me. Zaid said: She is the daughter of my brother - Zaid had become the brother of Hamzah when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) established bonds of brotherhood [among the believers, after the Hijrah to Madinah]. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to Zaid: “You are my mawla and her mawla." He said to 'Ali: “You are my brother and my Companion." And he said to Ja'far: "You resemble me physically and in attitude. And she should stay with her maternal aunt."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had a friend from Thaqeef, or from Daws. He met him in Makkah during the year of the conquest, and brought a skin of wine to give him as a gift. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "O Father of So and so, don't you know that Allah has forbidden it?" The man turned to his slave and said: Go and sell it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “O Father of So and so, what did you tell him to do?” He said: I told him to sell it. He said: “The One Who forbade drinking it also forbade selling it.” So he instructed that it be poured away in al-Batha'.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to review the Qur'an with Jibreel (عليه السلام) every Ramadan, and the morning after the night in which he reviewed it, he would be more generous than the blowing wind; he was not asked for anything but he gave it. In the month (of Ramadan) after which he died, he reviewed it with him twice.
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to Jibreel (عليه السلام):

It was narrated that ‘Ata‘ said:
We attended the funeral of Maimoonah, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ), in Sarif, with Ibn 'Abbas.
