Muhammad bin Amr says that once we entered the house of Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), and there we met Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). So we asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the ruling of ablution after eating food cooked on fire. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing prayer after eating something cooked on fire without performing fresh ablution. One of us asked, "Did you really see this?" He raised his hand towards his eyes — at that time he had become blind — and said, "I saw it with these two eyes of mine."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man from Banu Sulaym was driving his goats and passed by some of the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). He greeted them with salam. They said, "He only greeted us to save his life." Saying this, they advanced towards him and killed him, and brought his goats to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Upon this, the following verse was revealed: «﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا . . . . .﴾ [النساء: 94] » "O you who believe! When you go forth in the way of Allah, investigate carefully, and do not say to the one who offers you peace, 'You are not a believer' . . . . ."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the people referred to in «﴿كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ . . . . .﴾ [آل عمران: 110] » are those who migrated towards Madinah Munawwarah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped between Arafat and Muzdalifah only so that water could be drained.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I prayed eight rak‘ahs (units of prayer) together with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for Zuhr and Asr, and I also prayed seven rak‘ahs together (with him) for Maghrib and Isha.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that (on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate meat with bone and then performed prayer without renewing his ablution.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Hilal bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) accused his wife of adultery, people began to say to him that now the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) will certainly have you flogged with eighty lashes. He said, "Allah is very just; He will save me from those eighty lashes because He knows that I saw (it) until I was certain, and I heard with my own ears until I was certain. By Allah! Allah will not let me be punished." Upon this, the verse of Li'an was revealed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a virgin girl came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that her father had married her off to someone whom she did not like. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the girl the choice (to accept or reject the marriage).

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: "In the last times, there will come people who will use black dye; such people will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise."
