حدثنا ابو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، حدثنا احمد بن عبد الجبار، حدثنا يونس بن بكير، حدثنا ابو حمزة الثمالي، عن ابي صالح قال: لقد رايت من ابن عباس مجلسا لو ان جميع قريش فخرت به لكان لها فخرا؛ لقد رايت الناس اجتمعوا حتى ضاق بهم الطريق، فما كان احد يقدر على ان يجيء ولا يذهب، قال: فدخلت عليه فاخبرته بانهم على بابه فقال لي: ضع لي وضوءا، قال: فتوضا وجلس، وقال لي: اخرج وقل لهم: من كان يريد ان يسال عن القرآن وحروفه وما اراد منه، ان يدخل قال: فخرجت فآذنتهم، فدخلوا حتى ملؤوا البيت والحجرة، قال: فما سالوه عن شيء إلا اخبرهم عنه وزادهم مثل ما سالوا عنه او اكثر، ثم قال: إخوانكم، قال: فخرجوا. ثم قال: اخرج فقل: من اراد ان يسال عن تفسير القرآن او تاويله فليدخل، قال: فخرجت فآذنتهم، قال: فدخلوا حتى ملؤوا البيت والحجرة، فما سالوه عن شيء إلا اخبرهم به وزادهم مثل ما سالوا عنه او اكثر، ثم قال: إخوانكم، قال: فخرجوا. ثم قال: اخرج فقل: من اراد ان يسال عن الحلال والحرام والفقه فليدخل، فخرجت فقلت لهم، قال: فدخلوا حتى ملؤوا البيت، فما سالوه عن شيء إلا اخبرهم به وزادهم مثله، ثم قال: إخوانكم، قال: فخرجوا. ثم قال لي: اخرج فقل: من اراد ان يسال عن الفرائض وما اشبهها فليدخل، قال: فخرجت فآذنتهم، فدخلوا حتى ملؤوا البيت والحجرة، فما سالوه عن شيء إلا اخبرهم به وزادهم مثله، ثم قال: إخوانكم، قال: فخرجوا. ثم قال لي: اخرج فقل: من اراد ان يسال عن العربية والشعر والغريب من الكلام فليدخل، قال: فدخلوا حتى ملؤوا البيت والحجرة، فما سالوه عن شيء إلا اخبرهم به وزادهم مثله. قال ابو صالح: فلو ان قريشا كلها فخرت بذلك، لكان فخرا، قال: فما رايت مثل هذا لاحد من الناس (1).

It is narrated from Abu Salih that he said: I witnessed a gathering of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) such that if all of Quraysh were to take pride in it, it would be a source of pride for them. I saw the people gather in such numbers that the road became congested and there was no room for anyone to come or go. The narrator says: I went in to him and told him that the people had gathered at his door. He said to me: "Place water for ablution for me." Then he performed ablution and sat down, and said to me: "Go out and tell them: Whoever wishes to ask about the Qur'an, its letters (modes of recitation) and its meanings, let him come in." I went out and informed them, and they came in until the house and the room were full. Whatever they asked him about, he told them about it and added as much again or more. Then he said: "(Now) give your brothers (the other people) a chance." So they went out. Then he said: "Go out and say: Whoever wishes to ask about the tafsir or interpretation of the Qur'an, let him come in." I went and informed them, and they came in and the house and the room were full. Whatever they asked about, he answered it and added more to it. Then he said: "(Now) give your brothers a chance." So they left. Then he said: "Go out and say: Whoever wishes to ask about the lawful and the unlawful and fiqh, let him come in." I went and told them, and they came in and the house was full. Whatever they asked about, he told them about it and added as much again. Then he said: "Give your brothers a chance." So they went out. Then he said to me: "Go out and say: Whoever wishes to ask about the fara'id (the laws of inheritance) and similar matters, let him come in." I went and informed them, and they came in and the house and the room were full. Whatever they asked about, he answered and added as much again. Then he said: "Give your brothers a chance." So they left. Then he said to me: "Go out and say: Whoever wishes to ask about the Arabic language, poetry and the rare (unusual) words of speech, let him come in." They came in and the house and the room were full. Whatever they asked about, he answered and added as much again. Abu Salih says: If all of Quraysh were to take pride in this, it would (truly) be a matter of pride, and I have never seen such a (gathering of knowledge) for any person.
