حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ وَابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ ثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَمَكَثَ بِمَكَّةَ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ قَالَ فَمَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَسِتِّينَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2110
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was sent - or the Qur'an was revealed to him - when he was forty years old, and he remained in Makkah for thirteen years and in Madinah for ten years. He said: And the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) died when he was sixty -three years old.
