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

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 do as much of it as you wish.”

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

Two men referred a dispute to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and one of them had to swear an oath, so he swore by Allah besides Whom there is no other god that he did not owe anything (to the other man). Then Jibreel came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: He is lying; he does owe him something. So he told him to give him his dues, and the expiation for breaking his oath was his affirming that there was no god except Allah, or his shahadah.

It was narrated from 'A'ishah and Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stayed in Makkah for ten years, with Qur'an being revealed to him, then he stayed in Madinah for ten years.

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

“I saw ‘Eesa Ibn Maryam, Moosa and Ibraheem. As for ‘Eesa, he was reddish with curly hair and a broad chest. As for Moosa, he was dark and tall." They said to him: And Ibraheem? He said: “Look at your companion," meaning himself.

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

"Good conduct, dignified bearing and moderation are one of the twenty-five parts of Prophethood."

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

"Dignified bearing..." and he mentioned a similar report.

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) offered five prayers in Mina.

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed Zuhr on the day of at Tarwiyah in Mina, and he prayed Fajr on the day of 'Arafah there.

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

"Whoever sees something in his leader that he dislikes, let him be patient, for no one differs a handspan from the main body of the Muslims (jama'ah) and dies, but his death will be a death of Jahiliyyah."

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: 'Umar bin al-Khattab came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said:

O Messenger of Allah, I am doomed! He said: "What has doomed you?” He said: I had intercourse from behind yesterday. He did not reply, then Allah revealed this verse to His Messenger: “Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you will" (al-Baqarah 2:223). (The Prophet (ﷺ)) said: “From the front or from behind, but avoid the back passage and the time of menstruation."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went to one of his daughters when she was dying, He bent over her and did not raise his head until she died. Then he raised his head and said: "Praise be to Allah, the believer is fine, his soul departs from his body whilst he is still praising Allah.”

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a group of the Ansar who had taken a pigeon as a target, and he said:

"Do not take any animate being as a target."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) seated me on his mount behind him and Qutham in front of him.

It was narrated that Abut-Tufail said: I said to Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه):

Your people are saying that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) trotted around the House and that it is Sunnah. He said: They are telling the truth and they are lying. I said: How are they telling the truth and lying? He said: They are telling the truth, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did trot around the House, but they are lying because it is not Sunnah. At the time of al-Hudaibiyah, Quraish said: Leave Muhammad and his Companions alone until they die like the worm that falls from the nose of an animal (an-naghaf: said to belittle a man and remark on his weakness). When it was agreed that they would come the following year and stay in Makkah for three days, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and the mushrikeen were watching from the direction of Qu'aiqi'an. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to his Companions: "Trot around the House three times.” But it is not Sunnah. I said: And your people say that he went between as-Safa and al-Marwah on a camel and that that is Sunnah. He said: They are telling the truth and they are lying. I said: How are they telling the truth and lying? He said: They are telling the truth, he did go between as-Safa and al-Marwah on a camel, but they are lying because that is not Sunnah. The people would not stay away from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and would not disperse from around him, so he went between (as-Safa and al-Marwah) on a camel so that they could hear what he said and could not touch him. I said: And your people are claiming that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) trotted between as-Safa and al-Marwah and that this is Sunnah. He said: They are telling the truth. When the rituals were enjoined upon Ibraheem, the Shaitan appeared to him at the place of sa’y and started to race with him, but Ibraheem beat him in the race. Then Jibreel (عليه السلام) took him to Jamratal-'Aqabah, where a devil - Yoonus said: the Shaitan - appeared to him, so he stoned him with seven pebbles until he went away. Then he appeared to him at al-Jamratal-Wusta and he stoned him with seven pebbles. And when he lay him (Isma'eel) down on his face - and Isma'eel was wearing a white chemise - he said: O my father, I have no other garment that you may shroud me in except this, so let me take it off so that you can shroud me in it. He started taking it off, when a voice called from behind him: “O Ibraheem! You have fulfilled the dream!" (as-Saffat 37:104,105). Ibraheem turned round and saw a wide-eyed, horned, white ram. Ibn ‘Abbas said: I remember we used to look for this type of ram (for sacrifice). He said: Then Jibreel took him to al-Jamratal-Quswa, and the Shaitan appeared to him, and he stoned him with seven pebbles until he went away. Then Jibreel took him to Mina and said: This is Mina – Yoonus said: This is where the people halt. Then he took him to Muzdalifah and he said: This is al-Mash'ar al-Haram. Then he took him to ‘Arafah - Ibn 'Abbas said: Do you know why it is called ‘Arafah? I said: No. He said: Jibreel said to Ibraheem, ‘Arafta (have you understood)? And he said: Yes. Ibn 'Abbas said: Because of that it is called ‘Arafah. Then he said; Do you know how the Talbiyah came about? He said: How did it come about? He said: When Ibraheem was commanded to proclaim the Hajj to mankind, the mountains lowered their heads for him and the cities were raised up for him, and he proclaimed the Hajj to mankind.

Abu 'Asim al-Ghanawi said: I heard Abut-Tufail say...

And he narrated a similar report, except that he said: So that their hands would not touch him. And he said: Then Ibraheem lay Isma'eel on his face.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to teach them this supplication as he would teach them a soorah of the Qur'an. He would say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the torment of Hell, and I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the turmoil of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death.”

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say, when he got up to pray in the middle of the night:

“O Allah, to You be praise, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth. To You be praise, You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. To You be praise, You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everyone in them. You are the Truth, Your promise is true, Your Word is true, the meeting with You is true, Paradise is true, Hell is true, the Hour is true. O Allah, to You I have submitted, in You I have believed, in You I repent, by Your help I have disputed, to You I refer for judgement. So forgive me my past and future sins, what I have done secretly and openly. You are the One besides Whom there is no other god.”

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:

The sun was eclipsed at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed and the people with him. He stood for a long time, almost as long as it takes to recite Soorat al-Baqarah. Then he bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and stood for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time, that was shorter than the first time, then he prostrated, then he got up and stood for a long time, which was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the first time. Then he raised his head and stood for a long time, which was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the first time. Then he prostrated, then no sooner had he finished, but the sun became clear. He said: "The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah; they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that, then remember Allah.” They said: O Messenger of Allah, we saw you reaching out to take something when you were standing, then we saw you step backwards. He said: "I saw Paradise, and I reached out to take a bunch of grapes from it. If I had taken it, you would have eaten from it for as long as this world remained. And I saw Hell, and I have never seen anything like what I have seen today. I saw that most of its people are women." They said: Why is that, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "Because of their ungratefulness.” It was said: Are they ungrateful to Allah? He said: “They are ungrateful to their husbands and they are ungrateful for kind treatment. If you treat one of them kindly for a lifetime, then she sees something from you, she says, “I have never seen anything good from you!"

Humaid bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf narrated that Marwan said:

Go, O Rafi' - to his gatekeeper - to Ibn 'Abbas and say: If every man among us who rejoices in what he has done and loves to be praised for what he has not done is to be punished, then we will all be punished. Ibn 'Abbas said: What does this verse have to do with you? This verse was revealed concerning the People of the Book. Then Ibn 'Abbas recited: "(And remember) when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) to make it (the news of the coming of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the religious knowledge) known and clear to mankind...” (Al ‘Imran 3:187). And Ibn 'Abbas recited: “Think not that those who rejoice in what they have done (or brought about), and love to be praised for what they have not done" (Al ‘Imran 3:188). Then Ibn 'Abbas said: The Prophet (ﷺ) asked them about something and they concealed it and told him something else, and they went out thinking that he thought they had told him what he had asked them about, so they praised themselves and rejoiced over what they had done by concealing from him what he had asked them about.

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

"The first one to deny something was Adam (عليه السلام).” He said it three times. "When Allah created him, He wiped his back, and brought forth all of his progeny and showed them to him. Among them he saw a man with a bright, white face, and he said: "O Lord, who is this?" He said: ‘This is your son Dawood.’ He said: ‘O Lord, how long will his life be?" He said: “Sixty years. He said: ‘O Lord, make his life longer. He said: 'No, not unless I take it from your life.' So he gave him forty years from his own life and Allah recorded that in a Book and the angels bore witness to it. When He wanted to take his (Adam's) soul, he said: ‘There are still forty years of my life left.’ It was said to him: ‘You gave that to your son Dawood.' But he denied it. Then Allah brought forth the Book and established proof against him, and He completed it for Dawood as one hundred years, and He completed it for Adam (عليه السلام) as one thousand years.”
