[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ placed his hand on the head of Abdullah bin Abbas and said, "O Allah, give him wisdom and teach him interpretation." Then he placed his hand on his chest and Ibn Abbas felt the coldness of his hand on his back. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "O Allah, expand his chest with knowledge and wisdom." After this, Ibn Abbas did not feel hesitant to ask anyone for anything, and he continued to be a source of knowledge for the Ummah until Allah took him away.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَعْطِهِ الْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلِّمْهُ التَّأْوِيلَ» وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَوَجَدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ بَرْدَهَا فِي ظَهْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ احْشِ جَوْفَهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا» فَلَمَ يَسْتَوْحِشْ فِي نَفْسِهِ إِلَى مَسْأَلَةِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلَمْ يَزَلْ حَبْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ
