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 in previous times, the jinn used to listen to heavenly news; they would hear one thing and add ten things of their own to it, and deliver it to the soothsayers. The one thing which they had actually heard would prove true, and what they added from themselves would turn out to be false. And before this, stars were not thrown at them, but when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, whichever of the jinn reached their place, a shower of shooting stars would begin upon them and they would be burned. They complained about this to Iblis. He said: The reason for this is nothing except that something new has happened. So he sent out his armies, and some of them passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who was praying between the mountains of Nakhlah. They came to Iblis and informed him of this news. He said: This is the real reason that has occurred on the earth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once some Jews came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Abul Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him)! We want to ask you five questions. If you answer them for us, we will know that you are truly a Prophet and we will begin to follow you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a promise from them in the same way that Prophet Yaqub (peace be upon him) took from his sons. When they said, "Allah is a witness over what we say," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now present your questions."

They asked the first question: "What is the sign of a Prophet?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "His eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep."

They asked the second question: "Tell us, how does a child become male or female?" He said, "The two fluids meet; if the man's fluid prevails over the woman's fluid, the child becomes male, and if the woman's fluid prevails over the man's fluid, a girl is born."

They asked the third question: "Tell us, what did Prophet Yaqub (peace be upon him) make unlawful for himself?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He suffered from a disease called 'sciatica.' He felt that he liked camel's milk the most, so he made its (milk and) meat unlawful for himself." They said, "You have spoken the truth."

Then they asked the fourth question: "What is thunder (the rumbling and flashing of clouds)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is an angel among the angels of Allah, who is appointed over the clouds. In his hand is an iron rod with which he strikes the clouds, and he drives them wherever Allah has commanded."

They said, "The sound we hear, where does it come from?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "That is his voice." They confirmed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this as well and said, "Now one question remains. If you answer it, we will pledge allegiance to you. Every Prophet has an angel who brings revelation to him. Which angel comes to you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Jibreel!"

They said, "That same Jibreel who brings war, fighting, and punishment? He is our enemy. If you had mentioned Mika'il, who brings mercy, vegetation, and rain, then it would have been acceptable." Upon this, Allah revealed this verse of Surah Al-Baqarah: «﴿قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِجِبْرِيلَ . . . . .﴾ [البقرة: 97] » "(O Prophet!) Say: Whoever is an enemy to Jibreel . . . . ."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that we were on a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when the time for sacrifice came, so we slaughtered a cow on behalf of seven people, and a camel on behalf of ten people.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while praying would glance to the right and left with the corners of his eyes, but would not turn his neck to look behind.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while praying would glance to the right and left with the corners of his eyes, but would not turn his neck to look behind.

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: "Whoever sees something he dislikes in his ruler should be patient, for whoever separates from the congregation even a handspan and dies in that state, dies the death of ignorance."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once he spent the night at the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up during the night, went outside, raised his gaze towards the sky, and then recited these verses from Surah Al-Imran: «﴿إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ . . . . . سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ﴾ [آل عمران: 190-191] » up to, then entered the house, used the miswak, performed ablution, and stood up to pray. Then he lay down for a little while, and after some time went outside again, looked towards the sky, and repeated the aforementioned actions two more times.

It is narrated, most likely as marfu’, from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when he would raise his head from ruku’, after saying «سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» , he would say: «اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ» “O Allah! O our Lord! All praise is for You, which fills the heavens and fills the earth and fills whatever else You will.”
