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

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (عليه السلام) that a son of his died in Qudaid or ‘Usfan and he said:

O Kuraib (go and) see how many people have gathered (to offer the funeral prayer) for him. So I went out and saw that some people had gathered (to offer the funeral prayer) for him. So I told him and he said: Are there forty? I said: Yes. He said: Bring him out, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "There is no Muslim who dies, and forty men who do not associate anything with Allah stand to offer the funeral prayer for him, but Allah will accept their intercession for him.”

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

A man set out and two men followed him, and another man followed them, saying: Go back. So they went back, He said to him: These are two devils, and I kept on at them until I sent them back. When you go to the Prophet (ﷺ), convey our salams to him and tell him that I am collecting their zakah; if it was good for him we would have sent it to him. As a result of that, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade travelling alone.

It was narrated that al-Mas'oodi said:

We have never seen anyone who was a greater supporter of the Shi'i view than ‘Adiyy bin Thabit.

It was narrated that Abu Hassan said: A man from Balhujaim said:

O Abu ‘Abbas, what about this verdict that may become widespread among the people, that whoever circumambulates the Ka'bah may exit ihram? He said: This is the Sunnah of your Prophet (ﷺ) , even if you do not like it.

Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: A group of Jews came to the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) one day and said,

O Abul-Qasim, tell us about some matters that we want to ask you about, that no one knows except a Prophet. He said: “Ask me whatever you want, but give me a promise by Allah and the promise that Ya'qoob (عليه السلام) took from his sons, that if I tell you what you recognize, you will follow me in Islam.” They said: We agree. He said: "Then ask me whatever you want." They said: Tell us about four things that we are going to ask you about: tell us about the food that Isra'eel forbade to himself before the Torah was revealed, tell us how the woman's water and the man's water are and how the male can come from it, tell us how this unlettered Prophet (ﷺ) is when he sleeps, and tell who his companion among the angels is. He said: "You are bound by the promise and covenant of Allah, that if I tell you, you will follow me.” And they gave him the promise and covenant he wanted. He said: “I adjure you by the One Who revealed the Torah to Moosa (عليه السلام), do you know that Isra'eel Ya'qoob (عليه السلام) became very sick and his sickness lasted for a long time, then he made a vow to Allah that if Allah healed him from his sickness, he would forbid to himself the dearest of drinks and food to himself, the dearest of food to him was camel meat and the dearest of drinks was camel's milk?" They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them. I adjure you by Allah, besides Whom there is no other god, who revealed the Torah to Moosa, do you know that the water of the man is white and thick, and the water of the woman is yellow and thin, and whichever of them prevails, the child will resemble him or her; if the man's water prevails over the woman's the child will be male by Allah's leave, and if the woman's water prevails over the man's, the child will be female by Allah's leave?” They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them. I adjure you by Allah, Who revealed the Torah to Moosa, do you know that the eyes of this unlettered Prophet sleep, but his heart does not sleep?" They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them.” They said: Now tellus; who is your companion among the angels? For this is what will decide whether we join you or keep away from you." He said: "My companion is Jibreel (عليه السلام); Allah never sent any Prophet but he was his helper." They said: in that case we will keep away from you; if your helper was anyone else among the angels, we would have followed you and believed you. He said: “What is keeping you from believing him?” They said: He is our enemy. At that point Allah said: “Say (O Muhammad (ﷺ)); Whoever is an enemy to Jibreel (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'an) down to your heart by Allah's Permission - up to - the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know!" (al-Baqarah 2:97-101). At that point, “So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath" (al-Baqarah 2:90).

So we entered upon him, and there was a young girl with him. I had two questions and my companion had one. He said: Shall l ask first? I said: No. I said: I had a sacrificial animal with me but it slowed us down, so I said: If I reach Makkah I shall ask advice about this. Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent the sacrificial animals with so and so, and told him what to do with them. When he left, he came back and said, O Messenger of Allah, what should I do if any of them slow me down? He said: "Slaughter it and dip its sandals (with which it is garlanded] in its blood and mark its sides with it, and do not eat any of it or let any of the people with you eat from it.” I said to him. During these military campaigns I acquire slaves as part of my booty and I set them free on behalf of my mother; will it be valid for her if I do that? Ibn 'Abbas said: The wife of Sinan bin 'Abdullah al-Juhani instructed Sinan to ask the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about her mother who had died and had not performed Hajj - would it be acceptable for her to do Hajj on her behalf? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Do you think that if her mother owed a debt and she paid it off for her, that it would be acceptable on behalf of her mother?"
