Muhammad bin Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once a funeral passed by in front of Sayyiduna Imam Hasan, may Allah be pleased with him, and Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both. Sayyiduna Hasan, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, remained seated. Sayyiduna Imam Hasan, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Do you not know that a funeral passed by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he stood up? He said: Of course, but later the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, began to remain seated.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) would permit the people of Badr to come to him, he would also allow me to join them in their presence. Some of the companions of Badr said, "Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) allows this young man to join us, while we have sons like him as well?" When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) found out, he said: "He is intelligent." One day, Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) permitted the companions of Badr to come to him and also granted me permission to join them. He asked them about Surah Nasr. They said that in this Surah, Allah Almighty commanded His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when victory is granted to him, he should seek forgiveness and repent. Then he asked me, "O Ibn Abbas! What do you say?" I replied, "My opinion is not that. In fact, in this Surah, Allah Almighty informed His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the time of his death was near, and said that when the help of Allah comes and Makkah is conquered, and you see people entering the religion of Allah in crowds, then this is a sign of your passing. Therefore, glorify the praises of your Lord and seek forgiveness from Him. Surely, He is ever accepting of repentance." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Now you have seen, so how can you blame me?"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered into the state of Ihram with the intention of Hajj. Upon reaching Makkah Mukarramah, he performed Tawaf of the Ka'bah and Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, but due to having brought the sacrificial animal (Hady), he did not shave or cut his hair to become halal. And he instructed those who had not brought the sacrificial animal with them that "after performing Tawaf and Sa'i, they should become halal by shaving or cutting their hair."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, "Which drink is the best?" He replied: "That which is sweet and cold."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray thirteen rak‘ahs at night (eight of Tahajjud, three of Witr, and two Sunnahs of Fajr).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once passed by me while I was playing with other children. I went and hid behind a door. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and affectionately play-wrestled me to the ground, then sent me to Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). I returned and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he was eating.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once Sayyiduna Sa'b bin Jaththamah (may Allah be pleased with him) presented the leg of a donkey to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned it, saying, "We are in the state of Ihram."

Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was passing through a street of Madinah Munawwarah with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar and Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them). We saw that some young men had tied up a chicken and were practicing their aim on it. At this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and said: Who is doing this? Immediately, all the young men scattered to the right and left. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the person who mutilates an animal.

Imam Sha'bi, may Allah have mercy on him, says that a companion, may Allah be pleased with him, who passed by an isolated grave with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, told me that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, offered its funeral prayer and the people lined up behind the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. I asked Imam Sha'bi, may Allah have mercy on him, the name of this companion, so he told me: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is better for a person to present his land to his brother as a gift."
