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 eating meat with bones when the muezzin came. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put it aside and performed the prayer without renewing his ablution.

Once, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) saw Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) performing ablution. He asked, "Do you know on what basis I am performing ablution?" Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied in the negative. He (Abu Hurairah) said, "I ate some pieces of cheese, so I am performing ablution because of that." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "I do not care about the reason for which you are performing ablution, because I am an eyewitness that I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) eating the meat of the foreleg, after which he stood up for prayer and did not perform ablution." The narrator of the hadith, Sulaiman bin Yasar, used to attend to the service of both these companions (may Allah be pleased with them).

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 perform ghusl (ritual bath) with the water left over by Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). The narrator of the hadith, Abdur Razzaq, says that in fact, I had asked my teacher about the issue of two persons in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), a man and a woman, performing ghusl with the same water, so he narrated this hadith to me.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once delayed the ‘Isha prayer so much that the people slept and woke up twice. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The prayer. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out. That scene is still before my eyes: drops of water were dripping from the head of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he placed his hand on his head and said,“If I did not fear hardship for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to perform the ‘Isha prayer at this time.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I prayed eight rak‘ahs (units of prayer) together with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for Zuhr and Asr, and I also prayed seven rak‘ahs together (with him) for Maghrib and Isha.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would wake up in the middle of the night to pray, he would recite this supplication. Then the narrator mentioned the complete supplication and also said: Your word is true, Your promise is true, meeting You is true, forgive all my past and future, hidden and apparent sins. You are my Lord, there is no deity except You.

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) was the most generous of all people, and he used to review the Noble Qur'an with Jibreel (peace be upon him) every Ramadan, and he would become even more generous than the swift-blowing wind.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that after the blessed passing of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the Prophet’s Mosque, he reached there and removed the striped sheet that had been placed over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)’s blessed face, and upon seeing the radiant face, he leaned over it and began to kiss it.

Tawoos says that once I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that people think that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if you are not in a state of major impurity, still perform ghusl (ritual bath) on Friday, and apply oil and perfume." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) replied that I do not know about this.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a graveyard which was located on the previous path (Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, indicated with his hand towards the back of the sand mound) and said, "This is the best graveyard." I asked the person who told me this whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had specified any particular part of it, but he could not tell me which place the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had specified, except that he kept indicating with his hand. However, we used to hear that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had specified the part that was in front of the House of Allah (the Ka'bah). Benefit: Apparently, the graveyard referred to here is Jannat al-Mu'alla.
