Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib ibn Haashim, Abu’l-‘Abbas, the paternal cousin of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).

His mother was Lubabah bint al-Harith ibn Hazan ibn Bajiyyah ibn al-Hazam ibn Rubiyyah ibn ‘Abdillah ibn Hilal ibn ‘Amir ibn Sa‘sa‘ah al-Hilali.

He was called the scholar (al-habr) and the ocean (al-bahr), because of his abundant knowledge and his deep understanding of subtle issues. He was the scholar and faqih of the ummah, the spokesman of the tribe, a brilliant reflection of prophethood, the one for whom the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) prayed that he would have deep understanding of the faith and of the Quran, thus he was known as the interpreter of the Quran.

He was born when Banu Hashim were in the gully, three years before the Hijrah; it was also said that it was five years before that, but the former view is more sound, and it is closer to what is narrated from him in as-Sahihayn: I was going about some errands, riding a female donkey – and at that time I had just reached the age of puberty – and the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was praying in Mina, not facing towards any wall. I passed in front of part of the row, then I let the donkey loose so that it could graze, and I joined the row, and he did not object to me doing that. Narrated by al-Bukhari (76) and Muslim (504).

In Sahih al-Bukhari (6299) it is narrated that Sa‘id ibn Jubayr said: Ibn ‘Abbas was asked: What age were you when the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) died? He said: At that time I was circumcised. He (the narrator) said: They used not to circumcise a boy until he reached puberty.

In Musnad Ahmad (3125) it is narrated from Sa‘id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ‘Abbas, that he said: I learned al-Muhkam [surahs in which nothing is abrogated] at the time of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), and when the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) died, I was ten years old. He (the narrator) said: I said to him: What is al-Muhkam? He said: al-Mufassal [i.e., the surahs from al-Hujurat to the end of the Quran].

Al-Arnaut said: Its isnad is sahih according to the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim.

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) prayed for him, asking Allah to grant him deep understanding of religion and to teach him the interpretation of the Quran (tafsir). He said: “O Allah, grant him deep understanding of the faith and teach him the interpretation of the Quran.” Narrated by al-Bukhari (143), Muslim (2477), and Ahmad (2397).

He also asked Allah to teach him wisdom. It was narrated from ‘Ikrimah that Ibn ‘Abbas said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) embraced me and said: “O Allah, teach him wisdom.” Narrated by al-Bukhari (3756).

‘Umar ibn al-Khattab word bring him close to him and ask him questions, and he would let him attend gatherings with the elders of the people of Badr, to show them his knowledge and understanding. He would always have a ready answer and a radiant, handsome face. He had long hair dyed with henna; he was fair skinned and tall, with a yellowish complexion and a big build. His knowledge was abundant and many reports were narrated from him. An ignorant person would learn knowledge and wisdom from him, and a hungry person would have his fill of food and bread from him.

He (may Allah be pleased with him) died in at-Taif in 68 AH. The scholars differed concerning his age; it was said that he was seventy-one years old, or seventy-two, or seventy-four. The first is the strongest view.

For more information on his virtues, please see: Fadail as-Sahabah by Imam Ahmad (2/949); Ma‘rifat as-Sahabah by Abu Nu‘aym (3/1699); and al-Isabah by Ibn Hajar (4/122).

Secondly:

The impact of the Prophet’s supplication for ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas
Undoubtedly the supplication of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) for ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), asking Allah to teach him wisdom, understanding of the faith and the interpretation of the Quran, had a great impact on Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) in forming his character, in terms of faith, knowledge and ethics, and his keenness to seek knowledge and develop good understanding of the knowledge he acquired.

Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) did not rely only on the supplication of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) for him; rather he strove hard to accumulate and attain knowledge and to understand the religion of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, with all that he had of strength, energy, patience and resolve.

He began by staying close to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) from a very early age, until the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) died.

When the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) died, he turned to his senior Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), to the extent that he would fold his rida into a pillow and lie at the door of one of them, so as to have the opportunity to learn hadith from him.
