[Machine] I asked Urwah bin Zubair: "How long did the Prophet ﷺ stay in Makkah?" He replied, "For ten years." I said, "But Ibn Abbas says that he stayed for thirteen years." He said, "Ibn Abbas took that from the saying of a poet." Sufyan bin Uyaynah said that Yahya bin Sa'id narrated, "I heard an old woman from the Ansar saying, 'I saw Ibn Abbas seeking knowledge from Surmah bin Qais and learning these verses.' 'He stayed in Quraysh for thirteen years, reminding people about the truth, but he did not find any followers or supporters. When he came to us, and the news spread about him, he became happy and content. He did not fear the darkness of any oppressor, nor did he fear any evildoers among the people. We expended our wealth and our own selves in support of him during times of strife and calamity. We opposed everyone who opposed him with the truth, even if they were our loved ones. We know that there is nothing else besides Allah, and that the Book of Allah has become a guide.'"  

قُلْتُ لِعُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ كَمْ لَبِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ؟ قَالَ عَشْرُ سِنِينَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ «لَبِثَ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ حَجَّةً» قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَخَذَهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ الشَّاعِرِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَجُوزًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ تَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى صِرْمَةِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ يَتَعَلَّمُ مِنْهُ هَذِهِ الْأَبْيَاتَ [البحر الطويل] ثَوَى فِي قُرَيْشٍ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ حَجَّةً يُذَكِّرُ لَوْ أَلْفَى صَدِيقًا مُوَاتِيَا وَيَعْرِضُ فِي أَهْلِ الْمَوَاسِمِ نَفْسَهُ فَلَمْ يَرَ مَنْ يُؤْوِي وَلَمْ يَرَ دَاعِيَا فَلَمَّا أَتَانَا وَاسْتَقَرَّتْ بِهِ النَّوَى وَأَصْبَحَ مَسْرُورًا بِطَيْبَةَ رَاضِيَا وَأَصْبَحَ مَا يَخْشَى ظُلَامَةَ ظَالِمٍ بَعِيدٍ وَمَا يَخْشَى مِنَ النَّاسِ بَاغِيَا بَذَلْنَا لَهُ الْأَمْوَالَ مِنْ جُلِّ مَالِنَا وَأَنْفُسَنَا عِنْدَ الْوَغَى وَالتَّأَسِّيَا نُعَادِي الَّذِي عَادَى مِنَ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ بِحَقٍّ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْحَبِيبُ الْمُوَاتِيَا وَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا شَيْءَ غَيْرُهُ وَأَنَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ أَصْبَحَ هَادِيَا «
