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

’Amr bin Maimoon said:

I was sitting with ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) when nine people came to him and said: O Abu 'Abbas, either you get up and come with us, or you people should leave us alone. Ibn 'Abbas said: Rather I will get up and go with you. At that time he was healthy, before he went blind. They started speaking and I did not know what they were saying. Then he started flapping his garment and saying: Uff! They criticised a man who had ten qualities; they criticised a man to whom the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I shall surely send a man who Allah will never let down; he loves Allah and His Messenger.” And many hoped for it. He said: "Where is 'Ali?” They said. He is at the mill grinding flour. He said: "Why can't one of you do that?" Then he ('Ali) came; he had an eye infection and could hardly see. (The Prophet (ﷺ) ) spat dryly in his eyes, then he shook the banner three times and gave it to him. And he brought Safiyyah bint Huyay. Then he sent so and so with Soorat al-Tawbah, and he sent 'Ali after him to take it from him. He said: “No one should take it except a man who is of me and I am of him." And he said to his cousins: "Who among you would support me in this world and the Hereafter?" And ‘Ali was sitting with him. They refused but 'Ali said: I will support you in this world and the Hereafter. He said: "You are my supporter in this world and the Hereafter." Then he turned from him to a man among them and he said: “Who among you would support me in this world and in the Hereafter?" They refused but 'Ali said: I will be your supporter in this world and the Hereafter, He said: "You are my supporter in this world and the Hereafter.” He was the first of the people to become Muslim after Khadeejah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took his garment and put it over 'Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husain, and said: “Allah wishes only to remove Ar-Rijs (evil deeds and sins) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet (ﷺ)), and to purify you with a thorough purification" [al-Ahzab 33:33]. ‘Ali sold himself (for the sake of Allah) when he wore the garment of the Prophet (ﷺ) and slept in his bed when the mushrikeen were after the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Abu Bakr came when 'Ali was sleeping and he thought that he was the Prophet of Allah and said: O Prophet of Allah. 'Ali said to him: The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) has set out towards Bi’r Maimoon; go and catch up with him. So Abu Bakr set out and he entered the cave with him. ‘Ali had stones thrown at him, as happened to the Prophet of Allah, and he [‘Ali] was groaning with pain. He wrapped his head with the cloth and did not uncover it until morning came. Then he uncovered it and they said: You are bad; we used to throw stones at your companion and he never groaned with pain but you groaned with pain, and we found that strange. And he went out with the people on the campaign to Tabook. ‘Ali said to him: Shall I go out with you? The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said to him: "No," and ‘Ali wept. Then he said to him: “Doesn't it please you to be to me as Haroon was to Moosa, except that you are not a Prophet? I should not go unless you are my deputy (acting in my stead during my absence).” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: "You are protector of every believer after me.” And he blocked up all the doors of the mosque except the door of ‘Ali and he used to enter the mosque when he was junub, as that was his thoroughfare and he had no other thoroughfare. And he said: “If I am a person's mawla, ‘Ali is also his mawla." He said: Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, told us in the Qur'an that He was pleased with them, meaning the companions of the tree (those who swore allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) in Bay'atar-Ridwan under a tree, mentioned in al-Fath 48:18). He knew what was in their hearts; did He tell us that He was angry with them after that?! And the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said to ʻUmar, when he said, Give me permission to strike his neck: "would you do that? You do not know, perhaps Allah looked at the people of Badr and said: Do whatever you wish.”

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:

I attended the prayer of (Eid) al-Fitr with the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ), Abu Bakr, ʼUmar and 'Uthman, and all of them prayed before the khutbah, then delivered the khutbah. The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) came down (from the minbar) and it is as if I can see him, gesturing to the men to remain sitting then passing through them and going to the women, accompanied by Bilal. He said: "O Prophet! When believing women come to you to give you the Bai'ah (pledge), that they will not associate anything in worship with Allah...' [al-Mumtahanah 60.12],” and he recited this verse until the end, then he said: “Do you adhere to that?" One woman said: Yes, O Prophet of Allah; and no one else answered him. Hasan did not know who she was. He said: "Give charity," and Bilal spread his cloak and said: Come on, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you! And they started to throw their plain rings and rings with stones into the cloak of Bilal.

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

l bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed before the khutbah, then he delivered the khutbah. He realized that the women could not hear him, so he went to them and reminded and exhorted them, and told them to give charity and the women started to throw their rings, earrings and other things. Then he ordered Bilal to collect them in a cloth and take them away.

It was narrated from Ibn Tawoos, from his father... that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The people of Madinah enter ihram from Dhul Hulaifah; the people of Sham (Syria) from al-Juhfah, the people of Yemen from Yalamlam, and the people of Najd from Qarn. And he said: "And these meeqats are for the people at those very places, and besides them for those who come through those places with the intention of performing Hajj and 'Umrah; and whoever is living within these boundaries can enter ihram from his house, until he comes to the people of Makkah."

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade killing four types of creatures, ants, bees, hoopoes and sparrow-hawks.

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

Two roasted lizards were brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when Khalid bin al-Waleed was with him. The Prophet (ﷺ) stretched out his hand to eat, then he was told that they were lizards and he withdrew his hand. Khalid said to him. Is it haram, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "No, but it is not found in the land of my people and I find it off-putting.” So Khalid ate whilst the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) looked on.

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

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and started praising him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Some eloquence is magic and some poetry is wisdom.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade eating any wild animal that has fangs and any bird that has talons.

It was narrated that Mujahid said:

I entered upon Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) and said: O Ibn ‘Abbas, I was with Ibn ʼUmar and he recited this verse and wept. He said: Which verse? I said: “and whether you disclose what is in your own selves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it" (al-Baqarah 2:284). Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: When this verse was revealed, it made the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) very sad and distressed, and they felt a great deal of anguish and said: O Messenger of Allah, we are doomed if we are to be held accountable for what we say and do; as for our hearts, they are not under our control. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to them: “Say: We hear and we obey.” Then it was abrogated by this verse: “The Messenger (Muhammad (ﷺ)) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. -up to - Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned" (al-Baqarah 2:285, 286). So they were forgiven for what crosses the mind but they were called to account for their actions.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Good dreams are one of the seventy parts of Prophethood."

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

Quraish went to a female soothsayer and said: Tell us who among us most resembles the man of this maqam (station - i.e., Ibraheem). She said: If you spread a cloak over this plain then walk on it, I will tell you. So they spread out a cloak and the people walked on it. She saw the footsteps of Muhammad (ﷺ) and said: This is the one among you who most closely resembles him. After that, twenty years, or nearly twenty years, or as long as Allah willed, passed, then he was sent as a Prophet (ﷺ).

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did wudoo' washing each part once.

It was narrated that Abul Tufail said:

I was with Ibn 'Abbas and Mu'awiyah, and Mu'awiyah did not pass any corner (of the Ka’bah) but he touched it. Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) only touched al-Hajar (the corner where the Black Stone is) and (ar-Rukn) al-Yamani. Mu'awiyah said: No part of the House is to be forsaken.

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) got married when he was in ihram and he was treated with cupping when he was in ihram.

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

A man fell from his camel when he was in ihram and broke his neck. They asked the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: "Wash him with water and lotus leaves, and shroud him in his two garments, but do not cover his head or put any perfume on him, for Allah will raise him on thc Day of Resurrection in a state of ihram.”

It was narrated from Ibn "Abbas that

A man fell from an unruly camel when he was in ihram and broke his neck... then he mentioned a hadeeth like that of Ayyoob.

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

Sa'd bin 'Ubadah asked The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about a vow that his mother had made, and he told him to fulfil it.

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

The Messenger of Allah was treated with cupping in the veins at the side of the neck and between his shoulders. He was treated with cupping by a slave of Banu Bayadah, whose fee was one and a half mudds, then he spoke to his masters and they waived half a nudd from him. Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: And he gave him his fee; if it were haram he would not have given it to him.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There will emerge from 'Adan Abyan (a place in Yemen) twelve thousand who support (the religion of) Allah and His Messenger. They are the best of people between me and them." Ma'mar said to me: Go and ask him about this hadeeth.

‘lkrimah the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas said: Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told me that

The mother of Sa‘d bin 'Ubadah died when he was away from her. He said: O Messenger of Allah, my mother died when I was away from her. Will it benefit her if I give something in charity on her behalf? He said: "Yes." He said: Then I ask you to bear witness that the garden of al-makhras (two rows of Palm trees) is given in charity on her behalf.
