Once, Walid sent a man to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask about the blessed practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of Salat al-Istisqa (prayer for rain). He replied that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out (to lead the prayer for rain) in such a manner that he was displaying humility, submissiveness, and supplication (without any adornment, walking slowly and with dignity). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in two rak‘ahs just as he would lead them in the Eid prayer.

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: "Some poetry is full of wisdom, and some speech has an effect like magic."

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 idea that disease is contagious is not correct, there is no reality to bad omens, there is no truth to the month of Safar or the owl being inauspicious. (Simak says that "Safar" is a worm in a person's stomach.) A man asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Among a hundred camels, if a mangy camel joins them, it makes all of them mangy (and you say that disease is not contagious?) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me, who caused the first camel to have mange?"

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 pray on a mat.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from the plain of Arafah, he seated Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) behind him and said: "Go with calmness; speeding up horses and mounts is not a virtue." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that after that, I did not see any mount stretching out its hand (i.e., running fast) until we reached Muzdalifah. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) seated Sayyiduna Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him) behind him from Muzdalifah to Mina and began to say: "O people! Walk with calmness and dignity, for speeding up horses and camels is not a virtue." After that, I did not see any mount running swiftly until we reached Mina.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that (on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed one hundred camels, among which was a red camel belonging to Abu Jahl, which had a silver ring in its nose.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman's husband was not present with her. She came to a man to buy something. He said to her, "Come into the storeroom, I will give you that thing." When the woman entered the storeroom, he kissed her and flirted with her. The woman said, "Alas! Even my husband is absent." Upon this, he let her go and regretted his action. Then he presented himself before Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) and narrated the whole incident. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Alas! Perhaps her husband is not present because he is out in the path of Allah for jihad?" He replied in the affirmative. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Go to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and ask him about the solution to this issue." So he presented himself before Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked about this issue. He also said, "Perhaps her husband is not present because he is out in the path of Allah for jihad." Then, like Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he sent him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). That man presented himself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and narrated the whole incident. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said, "Perhaps that woman's husband is not present?" And regarding this, the following verse of the Noble Qur'an was revealed: «‏‏‏‏﴿وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ﴾ [هود: 114] » "Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at some hours of the night. Indeed, good deeds erase bad deeds. That is a reminder for those who take heed." The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is this command of the Noble Qur'an specifically for me or is it a general command for all people?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) struck his chest and said, "Do not be so happy; this is a general command for all people." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Umar has spoken the truth."
