Nadr bin Anas says that once I was sitting with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), and he was giving fatwas to the people but was not attributing any of his fatwas to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). During this, an Iraqi man came and said, "I am from Iraq, and I do the work of making images." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) ordered him two or three times to come closer. When he came near, he said, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever makes images in this world will be commanded on the Day of Resurrection to put a soul into that image, and obviously, he will not be able to put a soul into 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) said: "A previously married woman has more right over herself than her guardian, but a virgin should be asked for her permission, and her silence is her permission."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once he spent the night at the house of his maternal aunt, Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). He says: I lay down placing my head across the width of the pillow, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his noble wife lay down placing their heads along the length of the pillow. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slept. When half the night had passed, or a little before or after it, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up and sat, and began to wipe his blessed face with his hands to remove the effects of sleep. Then he recited the last ten verses of Surah Al-Imran, then stood up and went to a hanging water-skin, performed ablution from it and did it thoroughly, and stood up to pray. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I also stood up and did as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had done, and went and stood on his left side. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his right hand on my head and took hold of my right ear and began to twist it (and made me stand on his right side). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) first prayed two rak‘ahs, then continued to pray two by two rak‘ahs until he had prayed a total of twelve rak‘ahs, then he prayed witr, and then lay down until when the mu’adhdhin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he stood up and prayed two light rak‘ahs, then went out and led the people in the Fajr prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once, at midday, I had the honor of seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream. At that time, the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) hair was disheveled and there was dust on his body. He (peace be upon him) had a bottle with him in which he was searching for something. I asked,“O Messenger of Allah! What is this?”He replied,“This is the blood of Husayn and his companions. I have been collecting it since morning.”The narrator of the hadith, Ammar, says that we remembered that date in our minds, and later it became known that Sayyiduna Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred on that very date and day (on which Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, saw the dream).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Quraysh demanded from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to supplicate to his Lord to turn the mountain of Safa into gold for them, and they would believe in him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Will you really believe?" They said: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated. Jibreel (peace be upon him) appeared and said: "Your Lord sends you greetings of peace and says: 'If you wish, I will turn the mountain of Safa into gold for them, but after that, if any of them disbelieves, I will punish him with a punishment that I have not given to anyone in the worlds. And if you wish, I will open the door of repentance and mercy for them.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let the door of repentance and mercy be opened for them."

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: "It is not appropriate for any person to say that I am better than Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him), son of Matta, and to attribute him to his father."

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 teach him this supplication just as he would teach a surah from the Noble Qur'an, and he would say: "Say like this: «اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ» 'O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal), and from the trials of life and death.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I bear witness regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he led the prayer before delivering the sermon on the day of Eid, then he delivered the sermon. Afterwards, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) thought that the women might not have heard his voice, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the women, admonished and advised them, and instructed them to give charity.

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: "O Allah! You made the predecessors of Quraysh taste the punishment, now let their successors taste Your reward as well."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that I was present on the occasion of Eid with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them all); all of them used to lead the prayer before the sermon without any call to prayer (adhan) or iqamah.
