It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I had memorized the Muhkam Surahs during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while I was ten years old. I (Saeed bin Jubair) asked him: What is meant by Muhkam? He said: The Mufassal Surahs.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, he says: The chapters which you call "Mufassal", they are also called "Muhkam". At the time of the passing of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, I was ten years old, but I had already memorized these "Muhkam" chapters.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, I had already been circumcised.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Najdah Haruri wrote him a letter and asked him about these issues: What is the ruling on killing children? Who are the rightful recipients of khums? When does the designation of orphanhood end for a child? Can women participate in jihad or not? Does a slave have a share in the spoils of war or not? In reply, he wrote: If you are Khidr and you know that the child will grow up to be a disbeliever, then you can kill him. As for the issue of khums, we have always said that it is our right, that is, the right of Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib, but now a group among us says that it is not our right. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take women with him in jihad; they would treat the sick and nurse the wounded, but they would not participate in fighting. When a child reaches puberty, the designation of orphanhood ends for him. A slave has no share in the spoils of war, but to encourage them, they would be given something as a gift.
