حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ اسْتَأْذَنَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبِيتَ بِمَكَّةَ لَيَالِيَ مِنًى مِنْ أَجْلِ سِقَايَتِهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4731
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: al-'Abbaas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) for permission to stay overnight in Makkah during the days of Mina, because he was a supplier of water (for the pilgrims), and he gave him permission.
