tirmidhi:3514 – Aḥmad b. Manīʿ > ʿAbīdah b. Ḥumayd > Yazīd b. Abī Ziyād > ʿAbdullāh b. al-Ḥārith > al-ʿAbbās b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib

[AI] I said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, teach me something that I may ask Allah ﷻ for." He ﷺ said: "Ask Allah for well-being." I remained for some days, then I came and said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, teach me something that I may ask Allah for." He said to me: "O Abbas, O uncle of the Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for well-being in this world and the Hereafter."

الترمذي:٣٥١٤ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ

قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَسْأَلُهُ اللَّهَ ﷻ. قَالَ: «سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ». فَمَكَثْتُ أَيَّامًا، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَسْأَلُهُ اللَّهَ. فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا عَبَّاسُ، يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ».

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ قَدْ سَمِعَ مِنَ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ
