It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to set out on a journey, he would recite this supplication: «اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الضُّبْنَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْكَآبَةِ فِي الْمُنْقَلَبِ اَللّٰهُمَّ اطْوِ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ» "O Allah! You are my companion in travel and the guardian of my family in my absence. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the hardship of travel and distress on return. O Allah! Fold the earth for us and make this journey easy for us." And when he intended to return, he would recite this supplication: «آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ» "We are returning with repentance, worshipping, and giving thanks to our Lord." And when he reached his family, he would say: «تَوْبًا تَوْبًا لِرَبِّنَا أَوْبًا لَا يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْنَا حَوْبًا» "We repent, turn to our Lord, and ask that He leaves no sin upon us."

And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some groups from my Ummah will recite the Qur'an, but it will pass out of them just as an arrow passes out of the hunted prey."

And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not relieve yourselves facing the Qiblah, do not tie the udders of animals to collect milk in them, and do not outbid one another in transactions."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared some of Umayyah’s poetry to be true. Once, Umayyah said this verse:“He is such a brave man that under his right foot is a bull, under his left foot is a vulture, and a lion is lying in wait.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“He has spoken the truth.”Similarly, once he recited these verses:“The sun rises at the end of every red night, and its color becomes like that of a rose flower. It refuses and does not rise again except as one who has been punished or flogged.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed this as well.

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: "If a person falls asleep while in the state of prostration, his ablution is not nullified until he lies down on his side, because when he lies down on his side, his joints will become relaxed."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man captured a woman and took her as a prisoner. The woman resisted him by grabbing the hilt of his sword (trying to snatch his sword), so the man killed her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by there and was informed of the whole matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the killing of women.

And once the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent an expedition towards Mu'tah and appointed Sayyiduna Zaid bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) as its commander. In case he was martyred, Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) was to be appointed, and if he was martyred, then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) was to be appointed. Sayyiduna Ibn Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed behind and participated in the Friday prayer with the Prophet (peace be upon him). When the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw him, he said, "What prevented you from setting out with your companions in the morning?" He replied, "I thought I would perform the Friday prayer with you and then join them." Upon this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Going out in the way of Allah in the morning or evening is better than the world and whatever is in it."

And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is not one of us who has intercourse with a pregnant woman."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, the Muslims killed a man from among the polytheists. The polytheists began to offer wealth and riches in order to retrieve his corpse, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hand over his corpse to them as it is; it is a filthy corpse and its blood money is also impure."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in a garment—having wrapped it well—and used its extra part to protect himself from the heat and cold of the ground.
