Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hanble

حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ حَدَّثَنِي قَابُوسُ عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ مُسْرِعًا قَالَ حَتَّى أَفْزَعَنَا مِنْ سُرْعَتِهِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا قَالَ جِئْتُ مُسْرِعًا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَلَكِنْ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (PBUH) came to them quickly, and we got worried because of his rushing. When he reached us he said: "I came rushing to tell you about Lailatal-Qadr, but then I was caused to forget it whilst I was coming to you. However seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan.”

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, on the day of the conquest of Makkah: "This is a sacred land; Allah made it sacred on the day He created the heavens and the earth. It is sacred; Allah has made it sacred until the Day of Resurrection. It was not made permissible to anyone to fight in it apart from me, and it will not be permissible for anyone after me to fight in it until the Day of Resurrection. It was only made permissible for me for part of a day. It is a sanctuary made sacred by Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, until the Hour begins. Its thorns are not to be cut, its green grass is not to be uprooted, its game is not to be disturbed and its lost property is not to be picked up except by the one who will announce it.” al- 'Abbas - who was one of the local people and knew what they could not do without - said: Except idhkhir, O Messenger of Allah, for they need it for their graves and houses. And the Messenger of Allah said: "Except idhkhir

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: Some ghee, dried yoghurt and a lizard were given to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and he ate the ghee and dried yoghurt, then he said concerning the lizard; "This is something that i have never eaten, but whoever would like to eat it, let him eat it." And it was eaten at his table.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was treated with cupping when he was in ihram , in his head, for a headache or something in his head, at an oasis called Lahyu Jamal.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "With regard to a mukatab [a slave who has drawn up a contract of manumission with his master and is buying his freedom in instalments], a portion of the diyah of a free man should be paid,commensurate with how much he had paid towards his manumission, and a portion of the diycth of a slave should be paid, commensurate with the extent to which he was still a slave."

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: When the people gathered to wash the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), there was no one in the house apart from his family: his paternal uncle al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, 'Ali bin Abi Talib, al-Fadl bin al-'Abbas, Qutham bin al-'Abbas, Usamah bin Zaid bin Harithah and Salih, his freed slave. When they decided to start washing him, Aws bin Khawli al-Ansari called out from behind the door, then one of Banu 'Awf bin al-Khazraj, who had been present at Badr, called out to 'Ali bin Abi Talib, saying to him: O 'Ali, I adjure you by Allah, we have the right to be present at the washing of the Messenger of Allah (-fefe). 'Ali said to him: Come in. So he came in and was present at the washing of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), but he was not involved in the washing itself. 'Ali made him [the Prophet (PBUH)] lean against his chest, and he was wearing his chemise, and al- 'Abbas, al-Fadl and Qutham turned him over with 'Ali bin Abi Talib (RA), whilst Usamah bin Zaid and Salih, their freed slaves, poured the water, and 'Ali started washing him. Nothing was seen of the Messenger of Allah of that which is usually seen in a dead person, and 'Ali kept saying: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you; how good you are in life and in death! When they finished washing the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), who was washed with water and lotus leaves, they dried him and they did what is usually done for the deceased, then he was wrapped in three pieces of cloth: two white pieces of cloth and a striped cloak. Then al-'Abbas called two men and said: Let one of you go to Abu 'Ubaidah bin al- Jarrah - as Abu 'Ubaidah used to dig graves for the people of Makkah - and let the other go to Abu Talha bin Sahl al-Ansari. Abu Talha used to make the niche [in the grave] for the people of Madinah. Then al-'Abbas, said after he sent these two people: O Allah, choose for Your Messenger. So they went, but the one who was sent to Abu 'Ubaidah did not find Abu 'Ubaidah, but the one who was sent to Abu Talha found him and brought him, and he dug a grave with a niche ( lahcf) for the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: A man came to the Prophet (PBUH)and said: O Messenger of Allah, I met a woman in a garden and I embraced her, touched her, kissed her and did everything with her except that I did not have intercourse with her. The Prophet (PBUH) did not answer, then this verse was revealed: "Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins). That is a reminder (an advice) for the mindful (those who accept advice)" [Hood 11:114]. Then the Prophet (PBUH) called him and recited it to him. 'Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, is that only for him or lor all the people? He said: "Rather it is for all the people”.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) told us in Mina, when he was leaning back on a red tent, he said: "Would it not please you to be cme quarter of the people of Paradise?" We said: Yes. He said: "Would it not please you to be one third of the people of Paradise?" We said: Yes. He said: "By Allah, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise, and I shall tell you about that, about the small numbers of the Muslims among the people on that Day. On that Day, among the people they will be like a white hair on the hide of a black bull, or a black hair on the hide of a white bull, and no one will enter Paradise except a Muslim soul."

It was narrated that Fulfulah al-Ju'fi said: I was among those who panicked and rushed to 'Abdullah concerning the Mushafs. We entered upon him and a man among the people said: We have not come to visit you; rather we came when we got alarmed about this news. He said: The Qur'an was revealed to your Prophet (PBUH) from seven gates with seven modes of recitation, and the Book before him was revealed from one gate and with one mode of recitation.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: Your Prophet (PBUH) was given everything except the five keys of the unseen: "Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour...'" [Luqman 31:34].

It was narrated that 'Abdullah (RA) said: Umm Habeebah said: O Allah, let me have the joy of the company of my husband the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and my brother Mu'awiyah, and my father Abu Sufyan (all my life). The Prophet (PBUH) said: "You have asked Allah about lifespans that have already been determined, limits that have already been set and provisions that have already been allotted. None of them will be brought forward before its due time or delayed beyond its due time. If you had asked Allah to grant you refuge from punishment in the grave or punishment in the Fire, (that would have been better and preferable) ' And the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked about monkeys and pigs - were they (descendents of) those who had been transformed or were they some other creation that existed before that? He said: "No; rather they existed before that. Verily Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, does not doom a people then give them offspring."

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Prophet (PBUH) came to him (walking) between Abu Bakr and 'Umar, when 'Abdullah was praying. He started to recite (Soorat) an-Nisa' and did not stop until he completed it. And the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Whoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm 'Abd. Then he began asking (in du’a) and the Prophet (PBUH) started saying: "Ask, you will be given; ask, you will be given; ask, you will be given." And among the things he asked for, he said: O Allah, i ask You for faith that will never change, blessing that will never expire and to accompany Your Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the highest part of the Paradise of eternity. Then 'Umar (RA) came to 'Abdullah to tell him the good news, but he found that Abu Bakr (RA) had beaten him to it so he said: You have beaten me because you are always ahead of us in doing good.
