Once, he asked me to stay behind with him so that he may aportion a share for me in his property. So, I stayed with him for two months".

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ قَالَ‏:‏ جَلَسْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ‏.‏- حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ كُنْتُ أَقْعُدُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَكَانَ يُقْعِدُنِي عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ، فَقَالَ لِي‏:‏ أَقِمْ عِنْدِي حَتَّى أَجْعَلَ لَكَ سَهْمًا مِنْ مَالِي، فَأَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ شَهْرَيْنِ
