It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at the house of Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). I placed water for you at night for ablution. Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) informed you,“O Messenger of Allah! This water was placed for you by Abdullah bin Abbas.”So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication for him:“O Allah! Grant him deep understanding in religion and the knowledge of the interpretation of the Qur’an.”

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on his shoulder and made this supplication: O Allah! Grant him understanding in religion and knowledge of interpretation.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him as follows: O Allah, grant Ibn Abbas wisdom and the knowledge of interpretation.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over his head and prayed for wisdom for him.

(Third chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) embraced me and prayed: O Allah! Grant him the knowledge of the Noble Qur'an.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the last part of the night. I began to pray behind him, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took my hand, pulled me forward, and made me stand next to him at his side. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards the prayer, I slipped back a little. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he said to me: What happened to you? I made you stand next to me, but you slipped back? I replied: O Messenger of Allah! You are the Messenger of Allah, Allah has granted you a great rank and status. Is it appropriate for someone like me to stand next to you and pray? My words pleased you very much, and you prayed to Allah for me that Allah increase me in knowledge and understanding. After that, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sleep so deeply that he began to snore. Then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came and called out to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! The time for prayer has come. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) got up and performed the prayer, and did not perform ablution again (because during sleep, the heart of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remains awake).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was playing with the children when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me, so I hid behind a door. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me, gently shook me, and sent me to call Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was present with my father in the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and there was another man sitting with him, who was whispering with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It seemed that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not paying attention to my father. We got up and left from the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). My father said to me: Son! Did you see that your cousin (i.e., the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) did not pay any attention to me? I said: Father, there was another man sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was engaged in conversation with him. We returned to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This time, my father said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): I spoke to Abdullah in this way, and he told me that there was a man sitting with you, and you were conversing with him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abdullah! Did you see that man? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That was Jibreel (Gabriel), I could not pay attention to you people because of him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took him and his brother onto his mount, seating one in front of him and the other behind him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that at the time of the passing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), his age was fifteen years.
