Ammar, who was a freed slave of Banu Hashim, says: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), "What was the blessed age of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of his passing?" He replied, "I did not think that such a thing could be hidden from someone like you." I said, "I have asked various people about this, but all their answers were different from each other, so I want to know your opinion." He asked, "Really?" I said, "Yes!" He said, "Then remember! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was commissioned at the age of forty, he stayed in Makkah Mukarramah for fifteen years, where there was a mixture of peace and fear, and ten years after migration in Madinah Munawwarah."
