Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that I was in the house of Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), so I placed water for the ablution of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who placed this?" Someone said: Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) did. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on my shoulder and said: "O Allah! Grant him understanding in the religion and teach him the interpretation and explanation of the Qur'an and Hadith."
