Abu al-Tufail says that I was once with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Whenever Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by any corner of the Ka'bah, he would touch it. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to touch only the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied that no part of the House of Allah is to be neglected or abandoned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Umrah from Ji‘irrana, and in the first three circuits of the Tawaf of the Ka‘bah he performed ramal, and in the remaining four circuits he walked as usual.

Abu Tufail says that I once asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), "Your people think that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ramal during tawaf and that it is a Sunnah?" He replied, "These people say some things that are true and some that are false." I asked, "What is true and what is false?" He said, "The truth is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did perform ramal while circumambulating the House of Allah, but to consider it a Sunnah is incorrect. The reason is that during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the Quraysh had said, 'Leave Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them), so that they may perish just as a camel dies when a worm comes out of its nose.' When they made peace with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on this condition among other conditions, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) could come to Makkah the following year with his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and stay for three days, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came the following year. The polytheists were sitting towards Mount Qaiqan. Seeing them, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to perform ramal in three circuits. This is not a Sunnah."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived at Makkah with his noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) on the occasion of ‘Umrat al-Qada’, the polytheists began to mock, saying:“A people are coming to you whom the fever of Yathrib has made weak.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to perform ramal (brisk walking) in the first three circuits. The polytheists began to say among themselves:“The fever of Yathrib has not made them weak.”

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: "The Black Stone came from Paradise; it was whiter than snow, but the sins of the polytheists made it black."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once drank milk and then rinsed his mouth and said, "It has greasiness in it."

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 was even more generous in the month of Ramadan when he would meet with Jibreel (peace be upon him). Every night of Ramadan, Jibreel (peace be upon him) would review the Noble Qur'an with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). On the morning after the night when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite the Qur'an to Jibreel (peace be upon him), he would become more generous than the fast-blowing wind.

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 was helped by the east wind (the wind that comes from the direction of the door of the Ka'bah), and the people of 'Ad were destroyed by the west wind."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once he spent the night at the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up during the night, used the miswak, performed ablution, and recited the last ten verses of Surah Al-Imran. Then he prayed two rak‘ahs in which he stood, bowed, and prostrated for a long time. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lay down and slept until the sound of his snoring could be heard. Then he woke up and repeated the same actions, and this happened three times. After a short while, Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came and informed him about the prayer, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to lead the prayer, and in prostration, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to supplicate: «اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِي سَمْعِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِي بَصَرِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ أَمَامِي نُورًا وَخَلْفِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ عَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا وَعَنْ شِمَالِي نُورًا وَفَوْقِي نُورًا وَتَحْتِي نُورًا اَللّٰهُمَّ أَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا» "O Allah! Place light in my heart, in my ears, in my eyes, on my right, on my left, in front of me, behind me, above me, and beneath me, and grant me more and more light."
