حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ قَالَ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَنْ يَبِيتَ بِمَكَّةَ أَيَّامَ مِنًي مِنْ أَجْلِ السِّقَايَةِ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4691
It was narrated from 'AbduJJah that al-'Abbaas asked the Messenger of Allah for permission to stay overnight in Makkah during the days of Mina, because he was a supplier of water (for pilgrims), and he granted him that concession.
