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), while mentioning the incident of the Night of Ascension (Mi'raj), said: "The night I was taken on the Mi'raj and in the morning I returned to Makkah, I feared that people would not believe my words, so I sat apart from everyone, saddened. Coincidentally, the enemy of Allah, Abu Jahl, passed by." He came and sat by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mockingly asked, 'Has something happened to you?' He replied, 'Yes!' He asked, 'What happened?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Tonight I was taken on a journey.' Abu Jahl asked, 'To which place?' He replied, 'To Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).' He said, 'Then you returned to us by morning?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Yes.' Abu Jahl did not consider it appropriate to immediately deny the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so that if he brought the Quraysh, the Prophet would not retract his statement, and he said, 'If I call your people here, will you say this before them as well?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Yes!' Hearing this, he called out, 'O assembly of Banu Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy!' At Abu Jahl's call, the gatherings dispersed and everyone came and sat with the two of them. Abu Jahl, seeing them, said, 'Please relate to your people what you have told me.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Tonight I was taken on a journey.' The people asked, 'To where?' He replied, 'To Bayt al-Maqdis.' The people said, 'Then you returned to us by morning?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Yes.' Hearing this, some began clapping and some put their hands on their heads, for in their view, they were astonished at what they thought was a false statement. Then they said, 'Can you describe to us the condition of Masjid al-Aqsa?' In fact, at that time there was a person among the people who had traveled there and seen Masjid al-Aqsa. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'I began to describe the condition of Masjid al-Aqsa and continued describing it, until at one point I became somewhat confused, so Masjid al-Aqsa was brought before my eyes, and it seemed as if it had been placed near Dar 'Iqal or Dar 'Aqil, so I kept looking at it and describing it, including some things which I had not remembered before.' Hearing this, the people said, 'By Allah! He has described it accurately.' (But none of them inclined towards accepting Islam.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "If only you had seen me at that time when I was filling Pharaoh's mouth with black mud from the sea, so that the mercy of Allah would not come to his aid."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The night I was taken on the Mi'raj, during the journey I came across a place with a very pleasant fragrance. I asked, 'Jibreel! What is this fragrance?' He replied, 'This is the fragrance of the maidservant who used to comb the hair of Pharaoh's daughter and her children.' I asked, 'Tell me her story.' He said: One day, this maidservant was combing Pharaoh's daughter's hair when the comb fell from her hand. She picked it up saying, 'In the name of Allah.' Pharaoh's daughter asked, 'Do you mean my father by that?' She replied, 'No, rather my Lord and your father's Lord is Allah.' Pharaoh's daughter said, 'Shall I tell my father about this?' She replied, 'Yes, do so.' Pharaoh's daughter conveyed this to her father, and he summoned the maidservant. When she came, Pharaoh said, 'O so-and-so! Do you have a Lord besides me?' She replied, 'Yes! My Lord and your Lord is Allah.' Upon hearing this, Pharaoh ordered a copper cow to be made and heated it intensely. Then he ordered that she and her children be thrown into it. The maidservant said, 'I have a request from you.' Pharaoh asked, 'What is it?' She said, 'My wish is that when we are burned and become ashes, our bones—mine and my children's—be gathered together in a cloth and buried.' Pharaoh said, 'This is your right upon us (we will do so).' Then Pharaoh ordered her children to be thrown in first. So, before her eyes, her children were thrown one by one into the blazing furnace, until when it was the turn of her infant child, she hesitated a little because of him. Seeing this, by Allah's power and miracle, the infant spoke: 'Mother! Jump in without fear, for the punishment of this world is lighter than the torment of the Hereafter.' So she jumped in." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Four children spoke in their infancy: Jesus (peace be upon him), the child in the story of Jurayj, the witness in the story of Joseph (peace be upon him), and the son of the maidservant who used to comb Pharaoh's daughter's hair.

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: "Whoever sees something he dislikes in his ruler should be patient, for whoever separates from the congregation even by a handspan and dies in that state, dies the death of ignorance."

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) conveyed the statement of Allah, that: "Allah has written down good deeds and sins. If a person intends to do a good deed and then does it, ten to seven hundred rewards, or even more as Allah wills, are written for him. If he does not do the good deed, then just for the intention, one good deed is written for him. And if a person intends to commit a sin and then commits it, only one sin is written against him. But if he does not commit the sin after intending it, then one good deed is written for him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! My sister has vowed to perform Hajj on foot." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "What will Allah do with your sister's hardship? She should ride a mount to go for Hajj and offer expiation for her oath."
