[Machine] Yazid bin Utbah bin Abi Lahab mentioned the cloud that watered the grave of Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him. The Sea stated that Allah's mercy poured water three times and passed over the grave of Ibn Abbas. He used to inform us of this and we know it with certainty. So whoever is aware and whoever forgets, know that the sky quenches the grave with its mercy. By my life, this is a matter in the hands of the people. If the people had an opinion that they follow during engagements, they would certainly throw stones at Ibn Abbas. For his knowledge is divine and no one is equal to him during the discussions amongst the people. But you throw stones at a sheikh from the tribe of Yaman, who does not know what a fifth is to a sixth."  

يَزِيدُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ يَذْكُرُ السَّحَابَ الَّتِي سَقَتْ قَبْرَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ « [البحر البسيط] صَبَّتْ ثَلَاثًا سَمَاءُ اللَّهِ رَحْمَتَهَا بِالْمَاءِ مَرَّتْ عَلَى قَبْرِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَدْ كَانَ يُخْبِرُنَا هَذَا وَنَعْلَمُهُ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ فَمِنْ وَاعٍ وَمِنْ نَاسِي إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ يَرْوِي الْقَبْرَ رَحْمَتَهُ هَذَا لَعَمْرِي أَمْرٌ فِي يَدِ النَّاسِ لَوْ كَانَ لِلْقَوْمِ رَأْيٌ يُعْصَمُونَ بِهِ عِنْدَ الْخُطُوبِ رَمُوكُمْ بِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لِلَّهِ دِرَايَتُهُ وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ هَلْ مِثْلُهُ عِنْدَ فَصْلِ الْخُطَبِ فِي النَّاسِ لَكِنْ رَمُوكُمْ بِشَيْخٍ مِنْ ذَوِي يُمْنٍ لَمْ يُدْرَ مَا ضَرْبُ أَخْمَاسٍ لِأَسْدَاسٍ»
