It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), in a marfu‘ form, that Islam has only increased the intensity or strictness of every covenant and pact of the Age of Ignorance.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A slave woman who becomes Umm Walad (the mother of her master's child) becomes free after the death of her master.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so he prepared water for bathing. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a cloth and said, "Spread this sheet as a curtain and stand with your back towards me."

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: "When you have a difference of opinion regarding the road, then make it seven cubits wide, and if a person’s neighbor requests him to allow his beam to rest on his wall, he should let his neighbor place the wood with a pillar (so that his building does not collapse)."

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:“Cursed is the one who changes the boundaries of the land, cursed is the one who slaughters an animal in the name of other than Allah, cursed is the one who abuses his parents, cursed is the one who attributes himself to someone other than his master, cursed is the one who misleads a blind person from the path, cursed is the one who commits intercourse with an animal.”And he said three times:“Cursed is the one who commits the act of the people of Lot.”

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:“Cursed is the one who abuses his father, cursed is the one who abuses his mother, cursed is the one who slaughters an animal in the name of other than Allah, cursed is the one who changes the boundaries of the land, cursed is the one who misguides a blind person from the path, cursed is the one who commits intercourse with an animal, and cursed is the one who commits the act of the people of Lot.”And this last sentence, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated three times.

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: "Cursed is the one who changes the boundaries of the land, cursed is the one who ascribes himself to someone other than his master, cursed is the one who misleads a blind person from the right path, cursed is the one who slaughters an animal in the name of other than Allah, cursed is the one who commits intercourse with an animal, cursed is the one who disobeys his parents," and he said three times: "Cursed is the one who commits the act of the people of Lot."

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: "I have been commanded to perform two rak‘ahs of Duha prayer, but you have not been commanded; and sacrifice has been made obligatory upon me even if I do not possess wealth, but it is not obligatory upon you if you do not possess wealth."

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: "I have been commanded to perform two rak‘ahs of Duha prayer, but you have not been commanded; and sacrifice has been made obligatory upon me even if I do not possess wealth, but it is not obligatory upon you if you do not possess wealth."

Abu Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I know of a verse of the Noble Qur’an about which no one has asked me until today. Now I do not know whether people already have knowledge about it and that is why they do not ask, or their minds are simply not drawn towards it? After saying this, he began conversing with us again. When he stood up from his seat, we began to reproach one another, saying, why did we not ask him ourselves? I said that when he comes here tomorrow, I will ask him about it. So, the next day, when Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) arrived, I submitted: O respected one! Yesterday you mentioned that you know of a verse of the Noble Qur’an about which no one has asked you until today, and you said you do not know whether people already have knowledge about it and that is why they do not ask, or their minds are not drawn towards it? Please tell me about this verse, and also about those verses which you had recited before this? Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once said to the Quraysh:“O group of Quraysh! There is no good in any of those things that are worshipped besides Allah.”The people of Quraysh knew that the Christians worshipped Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) and what opinion they held about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so they said: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Do you not think that Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) was Allah’s Prophet and His righteous servant? If you are truthful (that there is no good in false deities), then the God of the Christians would also be as you say (that there is no good in them either). Upon this, Allah revealed this verse: «وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ» [الزخرف: 57] “When the example of Isa (peace be upon him) is presented, your people raise a clamor.”The narrator says that I asked him the meaning of «يَصِدُّونَ» , so he translated it as“to raise a clamor,”and when I asked about the meaning of «﴿وَإِنَّهُ لَعِلْمٌ لِلسَّاعَةِ﴾ [الزخرف: 61] » “And indeed, he is surely a sign of the Hour,”he said that the descent and emergence of Isa (peace be upon him) before the Day of Judgment is among the signs of the Hour.
