Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: (At the time of departing from Makkah) there is no special significance to sleeping or staying in the valley of Muhassab; it is merely a place where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him with wealth and belongings towards Mina on the night of Muzdalifah.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: No (pilgrim) was permitted to spend the night away from Mina (in Makkah), except Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him), and this permission was granted to him because he used to provide water to the pilgrims.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) permission to spend the nights of Mina in Mecca because he used to provide water to the pilgrims.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a woman from the Ansar: The narrator said, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) also mentioned the name of that woman, but I have forgotten it: "Will you not perform Hajj with us this year?" She replied: O Messenger of Allah! We had two camels for bringing water, so Abu Fulan and his son (my husband and son) have gone away riding on one camel, and they have left one camel for us, on which we bring water. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the next year comes, perform Umrah in Ramadan, for Umrah in Ramadan is equal to Hajj."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me at the time of suhoor from Muzdalifah towards Mina along with his belongings and women, etc. The narrator said: I said to Ata: Have you heard that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: He sent me at night? He replied: No, but at the time of suhoor. Likewise, I said that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: We performed the stoning before Fajr, so where did you pray the Fajr prayer? He replied: No, does that not guide you regarding your suhoor?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "My father is an old man; can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me, if he had a debt, would you pay it off for him?" He replied: "Yes!" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then perform Hajj on his behalf."

It is narrated from Ata (may Allah have mercy on him), a man said to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): I have vowed to sacrifice my own life. So Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: For you, in the life of the Messenger of Allah, is the best example. (And in the Noble Qur'an it is stated:) "And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from Makkah, he said: "Indeed, you are the most beloved of Allah's cities to Allah, and if your inhabitants had not expelled me, I would not have left. O Banu Abd Manaf! If you are granted guardianship over it, then do not prevent any circumambulator at any time of the day or night. If it were not that the Quraysh would become boastful, I would have informed them of the status that is theirs with Allah regarding this place. O Allah! Just as You have provided us with sustenance... (You punished their predecessors and bestowed gifts upon those who came after them.)"

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: Whoever performs Tawaf of the House of Allah, whether he is performing Hajj or not, becomes free from the restrictions of Ihram. The narrator says: I asked Ata: On what basis did he say this? He replied: On the basis of Allah’s statement «ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ» . I asked: Is this after returning from there? He said: Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: It is both before and after returning, and he also said this on the basis of the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because on the occasion of Hajjatul Wada’, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told the companions to come out of the state of Ihram, and he said this several times.
