Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that once I was sleeping during the month of Ramadan, and in a dream someone said to me that tonight is Laylat al-Qadr.

Then I went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he was performing prayer. When I paid attention, it was the twenty-third (23rd) night.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would spend several consecutive nights with an empty stomach, such that the members of his household would not find dinner for the night, and most often, the bread they had to eat was made of barley.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us and said, "O people! Hajj has been made obligatory upon you." Upon hearing this, Aqra' bin Habis stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is Hajj obligatory every year?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If I had said yes, it would have become obligatory upon you every year, but if that had happened, you would not have been able to do it. Hajj is obligatory once in a lifetime, and whatever is more than that will be voluntary Hajj."

When he would stand, bow, or prostrate, he would gesture with his palms, and when rising from prostration to standing, he would gesture with both hands. Upon seeing this, I went to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and told him that I had seen Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them) praying in a manner I had never seen anyone pray before. I also mentioned this gesture to him. He said, "If you want to see a prayer like that of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then follow the prayer of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Quraysh said to the Jews, "Tell us something that we can ask this man." They said, "Ask him about the soul." So the Quraysh asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the soul, upon which this verse was revealed: «‏‏‏‏﴿وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا﴾ [الإسراء: 85] » "They ask you concerning the soul. Say: The soul is by the command of my Lord, and you have been given but little knowledge." They said, "We have been given much knowledge, for we have been given the Torah, and whoever has been given the Torah has been given great goodness." Upon this, Allah revealed this verse: «﴿قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ . . . . .﴾ [الكهف: 109] » "Say: If the sea were ink for (writing) the words of my Lord, the sea would surely be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted . . . . ."
