[Machine] The people of the Ansar went to the governor with a difficult matter. We approached him with men from Quraysh and others, and they spoke to him and mentioned the testament of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding us. He mentioned the difficulty of the matter, so the people excused him and left. But Ibn Abbas persisted and said to him, "By Allah, you will not find a way to fulfill our need." So we left until we entered the mosque, and there were people talking. Hassaan exclaimed, "I laughed as I heard them, for indeed he, by Allah, was the most deserving of it. By Allah, it is the inheritance of Ahmad's refinement of lineage and the eradication of similarities to his character." The people said, "Beautifully said, O Hassaan." And then Ibn Abbas said, "You were truthful." So Hassaan began to praise Ibn Abbas.
