[Machine] May Allah bestow His mercy upon Abu Al-Fadl. By Allah, he was a brother of the Prophet Muhammad, and the apple of the eye of the Messenger of Allah. He is the master of the uncles and the cheeks, the ancestor of the ancestors, and the great-grandfather of the descendants. He possesses knowledge of matters, adorned with forbearance, and understanding has elevated him. He earned the support of every supporter and gained followers for his opinion, with his thunderous footsteps. The cheeks unite when his nobility is mentioned, and the lineages diverge when his tribe is mentioned. He is the companion of the household, the cupbearer, the lineage, and the kinship. Why should it not be so? And how could it not be so? The orchestrator of his policies is more honorable than any other orchestrator, and he is wiser than anyone who has risen from the Quraysh.  

الحاكم:٥٤٢٢حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْبَجَلِيُّ ثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَقَدْ تَحَلَّقَتْ عِنْدَهُ بُطُونُ قُرَيْشٍ فَسَأَلَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي أَبِيكَ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ؟ فَقَالَ

«رَحِمَ اللَّهُ أَبَا الْفَضْلِ كَانَ وَاللَّهِ عَمَّ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ سَيِّدُ الْأَعْمَامِ وَالْأَخْدَانِ جَدُّ الْأَجْدَادِ وآبَاؤُهُ الْأَجْوَادُ وَأَجْدَادُهُ الْأَنْجَادُ لَهُ عَلْمٌ بِالْأُمُورِ قَدْ زَانَهُ حَلِمٌ وَقَدْ عَلَاهُ فَهْمٌ كَانَ يَكْسِبُ حِبَالَهُ كُلُّ مُهَنَّدٍ وَيَكْسِبُ لِرَأْيِهِ كُلُّ مُخَالِفٍ رِعْدِيدٍ تَلَاشَتِ الْأَخْدَانُ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِ فَضِيلَتِهِ وَتَبَاعَدَتِ الْأَنْسَابُ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِ عَشِيرَتِهِ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ وَالسِّقَايَةِ وَالنَّسَبِ وَالْقَرَابَةِ وَلِمَ لَا يَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ؟ وَكَيْفَ لَا يَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ؟ وَمُدَبِّرُ سِيَاسَتِهِ أَكْرَمُ مَنْ دَبَّرَ وَأَفْهَمُ مَنْ نَشَأَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَرَكِبَ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ على شرط مسلم
