[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ passed away when I was fifteen years old." This is narrated by Ibrahim bin Tahman, Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi, and Al-Walid bin Khalid, on the authority of Shu'bah. As for the narration of Abu Dawud, it is as follows."  

«تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا ابْنُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ» وَهَكَذَا رَوَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ أَمَا حَدِيثُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ  

[Machine] "Shu'bah narrated"  

ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ  

Staying at Al-Mahassab is not one of the ceremonies (of Hajj), but Al-Mahassab is a place where Messenger of Allah ﷺ camped (during his Hajjat-al-Wida). (Using translation from Bukhārī 1766)

Staying at Al-Mahassab is not one of the ceremonies (of Hajj), but Al-Mahassab is a place where Messenger of Allah ﷺ camped (during his Hajjat-al-Wida). (Using translation from Bukhārī 1766)  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ   

[Machine] "Abu Al-Abbas Abdullah ibn Abbas died at the age of seventy-one, and he was born in the Shi'b before the migration by three years."  

«مَاتَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً وَوُلِدَ فِي الشِّعْبِ قَبْلَ الْهِجْرَةِ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ»  

[Machine] I said to Ibn Abbas, "O Abu Abbas"  

قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَا أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ  

[Machine] "I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying late at night. I stood behind him and he took hold of my shoes and stood me up. When he finished his prayer, he asked, 'What is the matter with you? I made you stand while holding my shoes and you became quiet.' I said, 'It is not fitting for anyone to pray in your shoes, O Messenger of Allah.' He was amazed and supplicated to Allah to increase my understanding and knowledge."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَقُمْتُ وَرَاءَهُ فَأَخَذَنِي فَأَقَامَنِي حِذَاءَهُ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ انْخَنَسْتُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ «مَا لَكَ؟ أَجْعَلُكَ حِذَائِي فَتَخْنِسُ» قُلْتُ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّي حِذَاءَكَ وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَعْجَبَهُ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ أَنْ يَزِيدَنِي فَهْمًا وَعِلْمًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in the house of Maymuna, so she set out water for him. Maymuna said to him, "Abdullah ibn Abbas has set out water for you." He then said, "O Allah, grant him understanding of the religion and teach him interpretation."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ فَوَضَعَتْ لَهُ وَضُوءًا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مَيْمُونَةُ وَضَعَ لَكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ وَضُوءًا فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ فَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ وَعَلِّمْهُ التَّأْوِيلَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The most compassionate of my nation towards it is Abu Bakr, and the strictest in following the command of Allah is Umar, and the most modest of them is Uthman, and the most knowledgeable of the recitation of the Quran is Ubay bin Ka'b, and the most comprehensive in understanding it is Zaid bin Thabit, and the most just in ruling is Ali bin Abi Talib, and the most knowledgeable in lawful and unlawful matters is Mu'adh bin Jabal, and the most truthful in speech is Abu Dhar, and the most reliable person in this nation is Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah, and the most knowledgeable scholar of this nation is Abdullah bin Abbas." Kauthar bin Hakim is unreliable.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَرْأَفَ أُمَّتِي بِهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَإِنَّ أَصْلَبَهَا فِي أَمْرِ اللَّهِ عُمَرَ وَإِنَّ أَشَدَّهَا حَيَاءً عُثْمَانُ وَإِنَّ أَقْرَأَهَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَإِنَّ أَفْرَضَهَا زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَإِنَّ أَقْضَاهَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَإِنَّ أَعْلَمَهَا بِالْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَإِنَّ أَصْدَقَهَا لَهْجَةً أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَإِنَّ أَمِينَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَإِنَّ حَبْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ لِعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ» كوثر بن حكيم ساقط  

[Machine] It was mentioned to Jabir about the red meat and he said: "That sea, meaning Ibn Abbas, recited: 'Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it"' (Quran 6:145)." Al-Dhahabi did not comment on it in his summary.  

ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ جَابِرٍ لُحُومُ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَبَى ذَاكَ الْبَحْرَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَتَلَا {قُلْ لَا أَجِدُ فِي مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا} [الأنعام 145] سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas used to be called "the sea" due to his vast knowledge.  

«كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يُسَمَّى الْبَحْرَ لِكَثْرَةِ عِلْمِهِ»  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas was the scholar of this nation.  

«كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ حَبْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ»  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas was called the sea due to the abundance of his knowledge.  

«كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يُسَمَّى الْبَحْرَ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ عِلْمِهِ»  

[Machine] I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night to the mosque and he performed the last Isha prayer until there was no one left in the mosque except him. He then passed by me and asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Abdullah." He said, "Welcome." I said, "My father has commanded me to stay with you tonight." He said, "Really?" When he entered, he said, "Make way for the slave of Allah." I brought a cushion made of palm fibers for him. Abbas approached me and said, "Do not sleep until you have memorized his prayer." The Prophet ﷺ approached and slept until I heard him snoring. Then he sat on his bed and raised his head towards the sky and said, "Glory be to the Holy King" three times. Then he recited the following verse from the last part of Surah Al-Imran until the end, "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth" (Quran 2:164). Then he stood up and performed ablution with his siwak, then he entered his prayer area and performed two units of prayer that were neither too short nor too long. He said, "I prayed" and then performed the Witr prayer. After completing it, I heard him saying, "O Allah, make light in my sight, make light in my hearing, make light in my tongue, make light in my heart, make light on my right, make light on my left, make light in front of me, make light behind me, make light above me, make light below me, and make the day I meet You a light-filled day. Make the light greater for me."  

بِتُّ بِآلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» فَقُلْتُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَمَهْ» قُلْتُ أَمَرَنِي أَبِي أَنْ أَبِيتَ بِكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ «فَالْحَقْ» فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ قَالَ «افْرِشُوا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ» قَالَ فَأُتِيتُ بِوِسَادَةٍ مِنْ مُسُوحٍ قَالَ وَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيَّ الْعَبَّاسُ أَنْ لَا تَنَامَنَّ حَتَّى تَحْفَظَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ فَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ «سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا {إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ} [البقرة 164] ثُمَّ قَامَ فَبَالَ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَّ بِسِوَاكِهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مُصَلَّاهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَيْسَتَا بِقَصِيرَتَيْنِ وَلَا طَوِيلَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي بَصَرِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِي سَمْعِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِي لِسَانِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ عَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ عَنْ شِمَالِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ أَمَامِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ خَلْفِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ فَوْقِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنِّي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ لِي يَوْمَ لِقَائِكَ نُورًا وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا»  

[Machine] Al-Abbas sent his son Abdullah to the Prophet ﷺ, and he slept behind him. There was a man with the Prophet ﷺ, so the Prophet ﷺ turned and said, "When did you come, my beloved?" Abdullah said, "Just an hour ago." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Did you see anyone?" Abdullah replied, "Yes, I saw a man." The Prophet ﷺ said, "That was Gabriel, peace be upon him, and no one except me can see him except if he is a Prophet. However, it is strange that this happened at the end of your life." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah, teach him interpretation and grant him understanding in religion, and make him among the people of faith."  

بَعَثَ الْعَبَّاسُ ابْنَهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَامَ وَرَاءَهُ وَعِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَتَى جِئْتَ يَا حَبِيبِي؟» قَالَ مُذْ سَاعَةٍ قَالَ «هَلْ رَأَيْتَ عِنْدِي أَحَدًا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا قَالَ «ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ وَلَمْ يَرَهُ خَلْقٌ إِلَّا عَمِّي إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ نَبِيًّا وَلَكِنْ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ ذَلِكَ فِي آخِرِ عُمُرِكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ عَلِّمْهُ التَّأْوِيلَ وَفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ وَاجْعَلْهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ entered the exit, and there was a curtain. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked, "Who made this?" I said, "I did." Then the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "O Allah, teach him the interpretation of the Quran."  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَخْرَجَ فَإِذَا تَوْرٌ مُغَطًّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَنَعَ هَذَا؟» قُلْتُ أَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ عَلِّمْهُ تَأْوِيلَ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] "That Ibn Abbas witnessed our era; none of us lived as long as him."  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَدْرَكَ أَسْنَانَنَا مَا عَاشَرَهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ»  

[Machine] I heard a man speaking like him, if a Persian and a Roman heard him, they would have converted to Islam."

(Dhzahabi remained silent about it in his summary.)  

سَمِعْتُ كَلَامَ رَجُلٍ مِثْلَهُ لَوْ سَمِعَتْهُ فَارِسٌ وَالرُّومُ لَأَسْلَمَتْسكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "Yes, the interpreter of the Quran is Ibn Abbas."  

«نَعَمْ تُرْجُمَانُ الْقُرْآنِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ»  

[Machine] "I performed the Hajj pilgrimage with my companion and Ibn Abbas. He (Ibn Abbas) started reciting Surah An-Nur and explaining it. My companion exclaimed, 'Glory be to Allah! What great knowledge this man possesses! If people were to hear this discourse, they would certainly embrace Islam.'"  

حَجَجْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى الْحَجِّ فَجَعَلَ «يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ النُّورِ وَيُفَسِّرُهَا» فَقَالَ صَاحِبِي يَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ رَأْسِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ لَوْ سَمِعَتْ هَذَا التُّرْكَ لَأَسْلَمَتْ  

[Machine] "I witnessed a gathering of Ibn Abbas that if all of Quraysh boasted about it, it would be a pride for them. I saw people gathering until the path became narrow for them, and no one could enter or leave. So I entered and informed him that it seemed as if they were at his door. He said to me, 'Bring me ablution water.' So he performed ablution, sat down, and told me to go out and say to them, 'Whoever wants to ask about the Quran, its letters, and what he desires from it, let him enter.' So I went out and announced, and they entered until the house and room were filled. He answered their questions and provided them with additional knowledge. Then he said, 'You are all brothers.' They left, and he told me to go out and say, 'Whoever wants to ask about what is permissible and forbidden, and jurisprudence, let him enter.' So I went out and announced, and they entered until the house and room were filled. He answered their questions and provided them with additional knowledge. Then he said, 'You are all brothers.' They left, and he told me to go out and say, 'Whoever wants to ask about obligations and similar matters, let him enter.' So I went out and announced, and they entered until the house and room were filled. He answered their questions and provided them with additional knowledge. Then he said, 'You are all brothers.' They left, and he told me to go out and say, 'Whoever wants to ask about the Arabic language, poetry, and strange speech, let him enter.' So I went out and announced, and they entered until the house and room were filled. He answered their questions and provided them with additional knowledge. Abu Salih said, 'If all of Quraysh were to boast about this, it would be a pride for them.' He said, 'I have not seen anyone like him among the people.'" (The narration ends here according to Al-Dhahabi)  

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَجْلِسًا لَوْ أَنَّ جَمِيعَ قُرَيْشٍ فَخَرَتْ بِهِ لَكَانَ لَهَا فَخْرًا لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ اجْتَمَعُوا حَتَّى ضَاقَ بِهِمُ الطَّرِيقُ فَمَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَجِيءَ وَلَا يَذْهَبَ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُمْ عَلَى بَابِهِ فَقَالَ لِي «ضَعْ لِي وَضُوءًا» قَالَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَجَلَسَ وَقَالَ لِي اخْرُجْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ وَحُرُوفِهِ وَمَا أَرَادَ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَآذَنْتُهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى مَلَئُوا الْبَيْتَ وَالْحُجْرَةَ قَالَ فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْهُ وَزَادَهُمْ مِثْلَ مَا سَأَلُوا عَنْهُ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِخْوَانُكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «اخْرُجَ فَقُلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ وَالْفِقْهِ فَلْيَدْخُلْ» فَخَرَجْتُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ قَالَ فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى مَلَئُوا الْبَيْتَ وَالْحُجْرَةَ فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِهِ وَزَادَهُمْ مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِخْوَانُكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي اخْرُجْ فَقُلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَمَا أَشْبَهَهَا فَلْيَدْخُلْ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَآذَنْتُهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى مَلَئُوا الْبَيْتَ وَالْحُجْرَةَ فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِهِ وَزَادَهُمْ مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِخْوَانُكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي اخْرُجْ فَقُلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَالشِّعْرِ وَالْغَرِيبِ مِنَ الْكَلَامِ فَلْيَدْخُلْ قَالَ فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى مَلَئُوا الْبَيْتَ وَالْحُجْرَةَ فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِهِ وَزَادَهُمْ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ فَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا كُلَّهَا فَخَرَتْ بِذَلِكَ لَكَانَ فَخْرًا لَهَا قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِسكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, I said to a man from the Ansar, "Come, let us seek knowledge, for the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are still alive." He said in astonishment, "O Ibn Abbas, don't you see that people are in need of you? And among the people, are there any companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" I left that and approached to seek knowledge. If a hadith reached me from a person who heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would go to him and sit at his door, with the wind blowing on my face. He would come out and say, "O cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what brings you here? What do you need?" I would say, "I have heard a hadith that was narrated to me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He would say, "Why didn't you send for me?" And I would say, "I am more entitled to come to you." So that man remained until the people gathered around me, and he said, "This young man was more intelligent than me."  

لَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ «هَلُمَّ يَا فُلَانُ فَلْنَطْلُبِ الْعِلْمَ فَإِنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْيَاءٌ» قَالَ عَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ تَرَى النَّاسَ يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَفِي النَّاسِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ فِيهِمْ؟ قَالَ فَتَرَكْتُ ذَاكَ وَأَقْبَلْتُ أَطْلُبُ إِنْ كَانَ الْحَدِيثُ لَيَبْلُغُنِي عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَآتِيهِ فَأَجْلِسُ بِبَابَهُ فَتَسْفِي الرِّيحُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ فَأَقُولُ «حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي تَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَيَقُولُ «أَلَا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ؟» فَأَقُولُ «أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ آتِيَكَ» قَالَ فَبَقِيَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى أَنَّ النَّاسَ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «هَذَا الْفَتَى كَانَ أَعْقَلَ مِنِّي»  

That 'Ali burnt some people who apostasized from Islam. This news reached Ibn 'Abbas, so he said: "If it were me I would have killed them according to the statement of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever changes his religion then kill him.' And I would not have burned them because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do not punish with the punishment of Allah.' So this reached 'Ali, and he said: "Ibn 'Abbas has told the truth." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1458)   

لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا كُنْتُ قَتَلْتُهُمْ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ» وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أُحَرِّقُهُمْ لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ» فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا فَقَالَ وَيْحَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ  

[Machine] Umar used to ask me with the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , so Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf said to him, "Do you ask him, while we have children like him?" So Umar said, "From what I know, he said," So he asked them about when the victory of Allah and the conquest will come. Some of them said, "Allah has commanded us to praise Him and seek His forgiveness." And some of them said, "We do not know." So Umar said to me, "O Ibn Abbas, what do you say?" So I said, "He is the most knowledgeable of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." And he recited the Surah until its end, "Indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance." [Al-Nasr: 3] So Umar said, "By Allah, I do not know except what you know."  

كَانَ عُمَرُ يَسْأَلُنِي مَعَ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَتَسْأَلُهُ وَلَنَا بَنُونَ مِثْلُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ عَلِمْتُمْ قَالَ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَمَرَنَا اللَّهُ أَنْ نَحْمَدَهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرَهُ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَا نَدْرِي فَقَالَ لِي يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ «هُوَ أَجَلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» وَقَرَأَ السُّورَةَ إِلَى آخِرِهَا {إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا} [النصر 3] قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «وَاللَّهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَا تَعْلَمُ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said regarding the Night of Decree: "Whatever you have been able to ascertain, seek it in the last ten nights. And in which odd night do you see it?" Some of them said: 'The ninth night', some said 'The seventh night', and some said 'The fifth night' and 'The third night'. He said, "What is wrong with you, Ibn Abbas, that you do not speak?" I said, "If you wish, I will speak." He said, "I did not call you except for you to speak." So I said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, mentions the number 'seven' most.' He said: 'The heavens are seven, and the earths are seven.' And he said, 'Indeed, we have split the earth open, so We caused in it grains, grapes, green fodder, olives, dates, and gardens of dense shrubbery, and fruits, and herbage, and palm trees, and gardens of dense shrubbery, as sustenance for you and your livestock.' And the gardens of dense shrubbery are intertwined and each intertwined garden is a garden, and the herbage is whatever the earth has grown that people do not eat.' Umar said, 'Are you amazed that you say the same as this boy who has not reached the age of having wet dreams?' Then he said, 'Indeed, I forbade you from speaking, so when I call you along with them, speak.'"

[Machine] Regarding scholarship, it is as if we are drawing from an ocean. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summarization.

[Machine] So I said, "He only came at this time out of necessity." He said, "Then let him in." So he entered and said, "Won't you inform me about that man?" I said, "Which man?" He said, "Ali ibn Abi Talib." I said, "About what matter?" He said, "When will he be resurrected?" I said, "Exalted is Allah! He will be resurrected when those in the graves are resurrected." He said, "Do I not see you saying what these fools say?" So I said, "Get away from me, lest I strike you." And

[Machine] "That the people of Kufa had recited the Quran in such and such a way, and they praised him. May Allah have mercy on him. So I said, 'Did they differ?' He said, 'Yes.' So I said, 'What made you say that?' He said, 'Alas! How would you know?' I said, 'Because I have read the verse: "And among the people is he whose speech pleases you in worldly life, and he calls Allah to witness as to what is in his heart." [Quran 2:204]until it reached "And Allah does not like corruption." [Quran 2:205] So when they do that, the companion of the Quran does not show patience.' Then I read the verse: "When it is said to him, 'Fear Allah,' pride in the sin takes hold of him. Sufficient for him is Hellfire, and how wretched is the resting place. And there is among the people he who sells himself seeking the pleasure of Allah. And Allah is kind to [His] servants." He said, 'You have spoken the truth, and by the One in Whose hand is my soul...'"

[Machine] "Umar said, 'I see that the Quran has become widespread among the people.' So I said, 'I do not like that, O Amir al-Mu'mineen.' He then pulled his hand away from mine and asked, 'Why did you say that?' I replied, 'Because whenever they recite it, they differ. And whenever they differ, they harm one another.' He then turned away from me and left, and I remained in his presence on a day that only Allah knows. Then His messenger, may peace be upon him, came to me at noon and said, 'Answer the Amir al-Mu'mineen.' So I went to him, and he asked, 'What did you say?' And I repeated my argument. Umar said, 'If I were to keep it hidden from the people...' and then the Dhahabi kept silent in his summary."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was gifted a mare by the king of Persia, which he rode using a hair rope. He then put me behind him and rode with me on the back of the mare, traveling slowly. He turned to me and said, "O young boy." I replied, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Guard Allah, and He will guard you. Guard Allah and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize Allah in times of ease, and He will recognize you in times of difficulty. When you ask, ask Allah. And when you seek help, seek help from Allah. The pens have been lifted and the ink has dried. If the whole world gathered to benefit you with something that Allah has not decreed for you, they would not be able to do so. And if they gathered to harm you with something that Allah has not decreed for you, they would not be able to do so. If you are able to be patient in times of distress, then do so. For indeed, with patience there is relief. And know that with difficulty comes ease."

[Machine] "To me, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Preserve Allah, He will preserve you. Preserve Allah, you will find Him in front of you. Know Allah in times of ease, He will know you in times of hardship. And know that what has befallen you was not meant to miss you, and what has missed you was not meant to befall you. And know that if all the creatures were to gather to benefit you, they would not be able to benefit you except with what Allah has already decreed for you. And if they were to gather to harm you, they would not be able to harm you except with what Allah has already decreed against you. So when you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek help, seek help from Allah. And know that victory comes with patience, relief comes with affliction, and alongside hardship, there is ease. And know that the pen has run its course with that which has already been decreed." Issa bin Mohammed Al-Qurashi is not reliable.

[Machine] "Muaawiya woke up as he heard their conversation, then he received the two corners of the Kaaba and Ibn Abbas said to him, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not receive these two corners.' Mu'awiya said, 'O Ibn Abbas, there is nothing from it that is neglected.' So Ibn Abbas became restless, not leaving him whenever he placed his hand on anything from the two corners, except he would say to him, 'That's it.'"

[Machine] I heard Ibn Abbas three days before his death saying, "O Allah, I repent to You for the fatwas I used to give to people regarding exchange transactions."

[Machine] "To have a garden of palm trees and vines, with rivers flowing underneath, and to have every kind of fruit in it." [Al-Baqarah 266] "Then it was struck by a whirlwind, in which there was a fire, and it burned." [Al-Baqarah 266] So, the people asked about it and said, "Who among you would like to have such a garden?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know better." So, Umar became angry and said, "Say, 'We know' or 'We don't know.'" Ibn Abbas said to himself, "I know something about it, O Commander of the Believers." He said, "O nephew, speak up and do not belittle yourself." Ibn Abbas said, "It is like the deeds of a rich man who does good deeds, but then Allah sends the devil to him, and he starts doing evil deeds until all his good deeds are destroyed. He had a garden that burned down just when he needed it the most, when he had many children and reached old age." He said, "Does anyone of you want to meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection, being the poorest of all his slaves in terms of his deeds, and not having anything to present?"

Its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey.'" Then he said, 'By Allah, Ibn Abbas spoke the truth. Indeed, this is abundant goodness from Allah.'"'
