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

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

Shall I not tell you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was travelling? We said: Yes. He said: If the sun passed the meridian when he was still halting, he would put zuhr and ‘Asr together before moving on. If it had not passed the meridian whilst he was halting he would move on until it was time for ‘Asr, then he would halt and put Zuhr and ‘Asr together. If the time for Maghrib came whilst he was still halting, he would put it together with ‘Isha'. If it had not yet come whilst he still halting, he would move on until it was time for ‘Isha', then he would halt and put the two prayers together.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever buys foodstuff should not sell it until he takes possession of it.” Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: I think everything is like foodstuff.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade intercepting the riders (incoming traders) and forbade townspeople selling on behalf of a Bedouin. He (the narrator) said: I said to Ibn 'Abbas, what does “townspeople selling on behalf of Bedouin" mean? He said: He should not be a broker for him.

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

Abu Jahl said: If I see Muhammad praying at the Ka'bah, I shall certainly step on his neck. News of that reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: “If he does that, the angels will seize him in front of everyone.”

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "My Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, came to me last night in the best image - I think he meant when he was asleep (in a dream) - and said: O Muhammad, do you know what the companions on high (the angels) are debating? I said: No. He put his hand between my shoulders, until I felt its coolness on my chest, and l knew what is in the heavens and what is on earth. Then he said: O Muhammad, do you know what the companions on high (the angels) are debating? I said: Yes, they are debating what washes away sins and the levels in Paradise. He said: What washes away sins and what are the levels in Paradise? I said. Staying in the mosques after the prayers, walking on foot to Jumu’ah prayers, and doing wadoo' properly at times when it is difficult. Whoever does that will live in a good state and die in a good state, and he will be free of sins as on the day his mother bore him. Say O Muhammad, when you pray: O Allah, indeed I ask You for good things and giving up evil things, and love of the poor. And when You decree fitnah for Your slaves, cause me to die without being tested. And the levels in Paradise are giving food, spreading (the greeting of) salam and praying at night when people are asleep.

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

A group of Quraish gathered in the Hijr and swore an oath by al-Lat and al‘Uzza, and by Manat the third one, (saying): If we see Muhammad, we will go to him as one man, and will not leave him until we kill him. Then his daughter Fatimah (رضي الله عنھا) came weeping, and entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: This group of your people in the Hijr has sworn an oath against you, that if they see you, they will come to you and kill you, and there is no one among them who will not have a share in your killing. He said: "O my daughter, bring me water for wudoo’." Then he did wadoo’ and entered upon them in the mosque, and when they saw him they said: Here he is. Then they lowered their gaze, and they stayed where they were and did not look up at him, and no man among them stood up. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and stood over them. He took a handful of dust and threw it at them and said, "May these faces be made ugly!", and no one was hit by that dust but he was among those who were slain as kafirs on the day of Badr.

It was narrated that Miqsam said:

I only know it from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه), that the banner of the Prophet (ﷺ) was with 'Ali bin Abi Talib, and the banner of the Ansar was with Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, and when the fighting intensified, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would be under the banner of the Ansar.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abis said:

I heard Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) being asked: Were you present on Eid with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He said: Yes, and were it not for the fact that I was so close to him, I would not have been present because I was so young. He prayed two ruk'ahs, then he delivered the khutbah, then he came to the mark that was near the house of Katheer bin as-Sait and exhorted and reminded the women, and enjoined them to give charity. And they started throwing their earrings and necklaces, giving them in charity. And they gave it to Bilal.

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

He did not think that one should halt at al-Abtah, and he used to say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) only halted there to wait for 'A'ishah.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled concerning a mukatab (a slave who has a contract of manumission), if he is killed, the diyah of a free man should be paid, commensurate with how much of his contract of manumission he had paid off, and the rest should be paid as the diyah of a slave.

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

I came to my maternal aunt Maimoonah bint al-Harith and stayed overnight with her, and that happened to be her night with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed 'Isha', then he entered his house and lay his head on a pillow of leather stuffed with palm fibres. I came and lay my head on the edge of (that pillow). Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) woke up and looked, and realized that it was still night. He said tasbeeh and takbeer until he went to sleep. Then he woke up and half the night - or two-thirds of it - had passed. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up and relieved himself, then he came to a waterskin that was hanging on a hook. He rinsed his mouth three times, rinsed his nose three times, washed his face three times, washed his forearms three times each, wiped his head and ears, then he washed his feet. Yazeed said: I think he said: Three times each Then he went to his prayer-place. I got up and did what he had done, then I came and stood on his left, wanting to follow his prayer. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) waited until, when he realized that I wanted to follow his prayer, he reached behind him with his right hand, took hold of my ear and brought me round until he made me stand on his right. Then The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed two rak’ahs that lasted the remainder of the night. When he thought that dawn was at hand, he got up and prayed six rak'ahs, with Witr as the Seventh. Then when dawn broke he got up and prayed two rak'ahs. Then he lay down and slept, until I could hear him breathing deeply. Then Bilal came to him and told him it was time to pray, and he went out and prayed, and did not touch water. I said to Sa'eed bin Jubair: How good this is! Sa'eed bin Jubair said: By Allah, I said that to Ibn 'Abbas and he said: Stop; it is not for you and your companions. It is (only) for The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), because he was protected (i.e., he would not have passed wind in his sleep).

It was narrated that al-Hasan al-‘Urani said:

Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) was asked about a man when he had stoned the Jamrah: can he put on perfume? He said: As for me, I saw musk on the head of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ); is that perfume or not?

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

Tell me about riding between as-Safa and al-Marwah, for your people are saying 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: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Makkah, and they came out; even the young women in seclusion came out. No one would be pushed away from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went between (as-Safa and al-Marwah - i.e., sa'y) riding. If he had dismounted, walking would have been dearer to him.

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

We travelled with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) between Makkah and Madinah not fearing anyone but Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and we prayed two rak'ahs (i.e., shortened the four rak'ah prayers).

It was narrated that Moosa bin Salamah said:

I asked Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) about praying in al-Batha', if I missed the prayer in congregation. He said: (Pray) two rak'ahs; that is the Sunnah of Abul-Qasim (ﷺ).

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

But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered the mosque when he was on his camel, with Usamah bin Zaid behind him. He asked for something to drink and they gave him some nabeedh, he drank then he gave the leftovers to Usamah bin Zaid, then he said: “You have done well, do like this.” And we do not want to change tlıat.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever buys foodstuff, let him not sell it until he takes possession of it." Mis'ar said: I think he said: or animal feed.

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

I gave the Prophet (ﷺ) some Zamzam to drink, and he drank whilst standing.

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

When the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) raised his head from bowing, he said: “O Allah our Lord, to You be praise, filling the heavens, filling the earth and filling whatever else You will."

Ibn Juraij said: I heard ‘Ata’ say: I heard Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When one of you eats food, let him not wipe his hand until he licks it or has it licked for him.
