Narrated 'Abdul-Muttalib bin Rabi'ah bin Al-Harith bin 'Abdul-Muttalib: "Al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib entered upon the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in a state of anger while I was with him, so he said: 'What has angered you?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is it with us and the Quraish, whenever they meet one another it is with glad faces, and when they meet us they meet us with other than that?'" He said: "So the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) became angry, until his face reddened, then he said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! Faith does not enter a man's heart until he loves you for the sake of Allah, and for the sake of His Messenger.' Then he said: 'O people! Whoever harms my uncle, he has harmed me, for indeed, a man's uncle is not but the Sinw (two or three palm trees will come from a single root, so each is called a Sinw. A man's uncle is like that to his father. That is, he is like his father) of his father."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Al-'Abbas is from me and I am from him."

Narrated 'Ali: that concerning Al-'Abbas, the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to 'Umar: "Indeed, the uncle of a man is the Sinw of his father." And 'Umar had spoken to him concerning his charity.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Al-'Abbas is the uncle of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and indeed, the uncle of a man is the Sinw of his father or from the Sinw of his father."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: "The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Al-'Abbas: 'On the night of Monday, come to me, you and your offspring, so that I may supplicate for them with a supplication that Allah will benefit you and your children by.' So he went, and we went with at night, so he ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) covered us in a Kisah (shawl), then said: 'O Allah, forgive Al-'Abbas and his offspring, for what is open and what is secret, with a forgiveness that does not leave any sins. O Allah! Take care of him concerning the affair of his offspring.'"
