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

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out for Makkah during the year of the conquest in the month of Ramadan, and he continued to fast until he passed by a stream on the way, and that was at the time of the noonday heat. The people got thirsty and they began craning their necks, longing for the water. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called for a vessel of water, then he held it up in his hand so that the people could see it, then he drank and the people drank.

Ibn Juraij narrated. I heard `Ata' say: I heard Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say:

There was a sheep that belonged to one of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) and it died. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Why don't you take its hide and make use of it?”

Miqsam the freed slave of 'Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Nawfal narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas told him:

I was with ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه) when Saʼd and Ibn 'Umar asked him about wiping over the khuffain, and 'Umar agreed with Sa'd. Ibn ‘Abbas said: I said: O Sa'd, we know that the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped over his khuffain, but was it before or after al-Ma'idah? He said: No one should tell you that the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped over them after al-Ma’idah was revealed. And 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) remained silent.

‘Umar bin ‘Ata’ bin Abil-Khuwar narrated that he heard Ibn 'Abbas say:

Whilst the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was eating a bone with some meat on it, the mu'adhdhin came to him, so he put it down and got up to pray, and he did not do wadoo’.

Sulaiman bin Yasar narrated that

He heard Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) and saw Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) doing wudoo’. He said: Do you know because of what I am doing wudoo’. He said: No. He said: I am doing wudoo’ because I ate some pieces of dried yoghurt. Ibn 'Abbas said: I do not care because of what you are doing wudoo’. I bear witness that I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) eat a shoulder of meat, then he got up to pray and did not do wudoo'.

Abush-Sha'tha' narrated that Ibn 'Abbas told him that

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to do ghusl with Maimoonah’s left-over water. `Abdur-Razzaq said: That was when I asked him about removing janabah for two people with the same water.

Ibn Juraij said: I said to 'Ata':

Which do you prefer for me, to pray 'Isha' as an imam (leading the prayer) or to delay it and pray alone? He said: I heard Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delayed ‘Isha' one night until the people had fallen asleep and woken up, and fallen asleep then woken up (again). Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) stood up and said: The prayer. ‘Ata’ said: Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: Then the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) came out, and it is as if I can see him now, with water dripping from his head and putting his hand on the side of his head and saying: "Were it not that it would be too difficult for my ummah, I would have instructed them to pray at this time."

Abush-Sha'tha' narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) eight [rak’ahs] together and seven [rak'ahs] together.

Tawoos narrated that he heard Ibn ‘Abbas say:

When the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed tahajjud at night... And he narrated a du'a’ like that of Sufyan, except that he said: "... Your promise is true, and Your words are true, and the meeting with You is true.” And he said: "... what I do in secret and what I do openly, You are my God, there is no God but You.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the most generous of people. As soon as the month of Ramadan began and Jibreel (عليه السلام) began to review (the Qur'an) with him, he would become more generous than the wind.

It was narrated that Abu Salamah said: Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) used to narrate that

Abu Bakr lifted from the face of the Prophet (ﷺ) after he had died a striped cloak with which he was covered. He looked at the face of the Prophet (ﷺ), then he leaned over him and kissed him.

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

He mentioned the words of the Prophet (ﷺ) about doing ghusl on Friday, Tawoos said: I said to Ibn 'Abbas: Should one put on perfume if his family has any? He said: I do not know.

Ibraheem bin Abi Khidash narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

When the Prophet (ﷺ) overlooked the graveyard on his first route, he pointed across the stream and said: "What a good graveyard this is." l said to the one who told me: Did he point to the mountain pass? He said: That's what he said. He did not tell me that he pointed to a specific area; all he said was that he pointed across the stream. And we used to hear that the Prophet (ﷺ) specifically pointed to the mountain pass that is opposite the House.

It was narrated from Miqsam, the freed slave of ‘Abdullah bin al-Harith, that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told him:

The Prophet (ﷺ) set (the expiation for) having intercourse with a menstruating woman at one dinar (to be given in charity. And if he has intercourse with her when the bleeding has stopped but she has not yet done ghusl, then (he should pay) half a dinar. All of that (was narrated) from the Prophet (ﷺ).

‘Amr bin Dinar narrated that he heard Muhammad bin Jubair say:

Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) used to object to starting the fast of Ramadan early if the new moon of Ramadan has not been seen. And he used to say: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If you do not see the new moon, complete thirty days."

'Ubaidullah bin Abi Yazeed narrated that he heard Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say:

I did not see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) making sure to fast any day, seeking its virtue and superiority over other days, apart from this day - meaning ‘Ashoora' - or Ramadan.

’Ata' said: 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas called al-Fadl bin 'Abbas to eat on the day of Arafah, and he said:

I am fasting. ‘Abdullah said: Do not fast, for a vessel of milk was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of 'Arafah and he drank from it on this day. So do not fast, for people follow your example.

’Ata’ narrated that

Ibn 'Abbas called al-Fadl...

‘Amr bin Dinar narrated that Abu Ma'bad, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas, told him that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told him that

Raising the voice in dhikr when the people have finished the obligatory prayer was done at the time of the Prophet (ﷺ), and that he said: Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله `عنه) said: I would know that they had finished (the prayer) when I heard that.

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

I stayed overnight with my maternal aunt Maimoonah. The Prophet (ﷺ) got up to offer voluntary prayers at night. The Prophet (ﷺ) went to the waterskin and did wudoo’, then he stood and prayed. I got up when I saw him do that, and I did wudoo' from the waterskin, then I stood on his left. He took me by the hand from behind his back and took me like this from behind to his right side.
