[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)
