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

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that Jibreel (عليه السلام) said to the Prophet (ﷺ):

If only you could have seen me when I was taking the black mud of the sea and shoving it into Pharaoh's mouth.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me with the luggage from Muzdalifah at night.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Jibreel (عليه السلام) said to me:

Prayer has been made dear to you, so pray as much as you want."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that a man came to Umar and said:

A woman came to buy something, and I took her into a closet and did something that was less than intercourse. He said: Woe to you! Perhaps she is the wife of someone who is away (fighting in jihad) for the sake of Allah? He said: Yes, He said: Go to Abu Bakr and ask him. So he went to him and asked him, and he said: Perhaps she is the wife of someone who is away (fighting in jihad) for the sake of Allah? And he said the same as "Umar said: then he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and told him something similar, and he said: “Perhaps she is the wise of someone who is away (fighting in jihad) for the sake of Allah?" Then 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). Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins), That is a reminder (an advice) for the mindful (those who accept advice)" [Hood 11:114]. He said: O Messenger of Allah, is it just for me or is it for all the people? ‘Umar struck his chest with his hand and said: No, do not think that; rather it is for all the people. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "ʻUmar is right."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the one who was riding behind him, Usamah bin Zaid, came and we gave him some of this drink. And he said: “Well done; this is the way to make it."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

”Healing is in three things: a drink of honey, the lancet of the cupper and cauterisation with fire, but I forbid my ummah to use cauterisation.”

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

The mushrikeen used to part their hair in the middle and the People of the Book used to let their hair fall over their foreheads, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) liked to do the same as the People of the Book - Ya'qoob said: in some matters concerning which he had received no command; Ishaq said: in that concerning which he had received no command - so he let his hair fall over his forehead, then later on he parted it.

It was narrated that Abul Tufail said:

I saw Mu'awiyah circumambulating the House with 'Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) on his left, and I was following behind them and I could hear what they were saying, Mu'awiyah started touching the corner of the Black Stone, and 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said to him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not touch these two corners. Mu'awiyah said: Leave me alone, O Ibn 'Abbas, for there is nothing of it to be forsaken! Ibn 'Abbas continued to say the same thing and no more; every time he put his hand on either of the two corners he said that to him.

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) did ‘Umrah four times: ‘Umrah from al-Hudaibiyah, 'Umrah the following year to make up for the one that has not been completed previously, the third ‘Umrah from al-Ji'ranah, and the fourth that he did with his Hajj.

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

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed [the verses]: “And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafiroon (i.e. disbelievers - of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah's Laws)" (al-Ma'idah 5:44], "such are the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers - of a lesser degreey" [al-Ma'idah 5:45] (then) such (people) are the Fasiqoon [the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree)] to Allah" [al-Ma'idah 5:47]. Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: Allah revealed them concerning two groups of the Jews. One of them had defeated the other during the Jahiliyyah, until they reached a deal according to which the diyah of any person among the defeated group who was killed by the group that had the upper hand would be fifty wasqs, and the diyah of any person among the group that had the upper hand who was killed by the defeated group would be one hundred wasqs. They adhered to that until the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Madinah; then both groups were subdued by the coming of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and at that time he had not yet prevailed and he had a covenant with both groups. Then the defeated group killed a member of the group that had the upper hand, and the group that had the upper hand sent word to the defeated group saying: Send us one hundred wasqs. The defeated group said: Was there ever any deal between two tribes who follow the same religion and share the same lineage and live in the same city, according to which the diyah of some was half the diyah of others? We only accepted that deal because you forced it on us and we were afraid of you. But now Muhammad has come and we will not accept this deal any more, War almost broke out between them, then they agreed to appoint the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to judge between them. Then the group that had the upper hand realized: By Allah, Muhammad is not going to give you a deal whereby he gives you double what he gives them. And they were right, they only accepted this deal because we forced it on them, Sent word to Muhammad to find out what he thinks: if he gives you what you want, then appoint him to judge, and if he does not give you that, then withdraw and do not appoint him to judge. They sent one of the hypocrites to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to find out for them what the opinion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was. When he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Allah informed His Messenger of what they were trying to accomplish, and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "O Messenger (Muhammad (ﷺ)). Let not those who hurry to fall into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: “We believe up to...(then) such (people) are the Fasiqoon [the rebellious i.e. disobedient [of a lesser degree)] to Allah" [al-Ma’idah 5:41-47]. Then he said: It was revealed concerning them [the two groups] and Allah referred to them [in these verses].

It was narrated that al-Hakam bin 'Abdullah bin al-A'raj said: I was with Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) in the house where they provide water, and he was using a cloak of his as a pillow. I said:

O Ibn 'Abbas, tell me about 'Ashoora'. He said: What about it? I said: About fasting it. He said: When you see the new moon of Muharram, count nine (days), then fast on the ninth day. I said: Is that how Muhammad (ﷺ) fasted it? He said: Yes.

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

"This Stone (i.e., the Black Stone) will come on the Day of Resurrection with two eyes with which it will see and a tongue with which it will speak; it will testify in the favour of the one who touches it with the proper manner and attitude.”

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

Some of the prisoners on the day of Badr did not have any ransom, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made it their ransom to teach the children of the Ansar how to write. One day a boy came crying to his father, who said: What is the matter with you? He said: My teacher hit me. He said: The evil one is seeking vengeance for [the people thrown into] the well at Badr! By Allah, you will never go to him again.

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

On the day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered that the weapons and leather armour be removed from the martyrs, and he said: "Bury them with their blood and garments."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that a man from among the Ansar apostatised from Islam and joined the mushrikeen, then Allah revealed the verse:

“How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their Belief and after they bore witness that the Messenger (Muhammad (ﷺ)) is true and after clear proofs had come unto them? And Allah guides not the people who are Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers)" [Al 'Imran 3:86]. His people sent word of that to him; he came back repenting and the Prophet (ﷺ) accepted that from him and let him off.

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

"Wear white garments, for they are among the best of your garments, and shroud your dead in them. And the best of your kohl is antimony; it makes the vision clear and makes the hair grow."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) trotted for three circuits of the House, and when he reached the Yemeni Corner, he began to walk, until he reached the [Black Stone, then he trotted, and he walked for four circuits. And Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: And that was Sunnah.

It was narrated from Barakah Abul-Waleed: Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told me: The Messenger of Allah was sitting in the mosque, facing the [Black] Stone, then he looked at the sky and smiled, then he said:

"May Allah curse the Jews; animal fat was forbidden to them, so they sold it and consumed its price, But when Allah forbids people to eat something. He also forbids its price to them.”

Al-Hasan al-'Urani said: It was said in the presence of Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

Prayer is interrupted by a dog, a donkey or woman. He said: What a bad thing to make a Muslim woman equivalent to a dog or a donkey! I remember when I came on a donkey when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was leading the people in prayer, when I got close to him, in front of him, I dismounted and let it go, and I joined the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in his prayer. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not repeat his prayer and he did not tell me not to do what I had done. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was leading the people in prayer, and a small girl came, pushing through the rows, until she held onto the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not repeat his prayer and he did not tell her off for what she had done. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was praying in the mosque, and a lamb came out of one of the apartments of the Prophet (ﷺ) and wanted to pass in front of him, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stopped it. Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: So why don't you say that a lamb interrupts the prayer?

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

Whoever comes for Hajj, circumambulates the House and goes between as-Safa and al-Marwah, it is no longer Hajj; rather it becomes ‘Umrah. That was the Sunnah of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and the Sunnah of His Messenger (ﷺ).
