Aslamoalaikum, friends, today we will talk about Brief Life Story of Abdullah Ibn Abbas (R.A.)
His full name is AbduIIah bin Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib bin Hishim bin Abd Manaf Qurashi Hashimi. He was the paternal cousin of the Prophet (S.A.W.) and maternal cousin of Khalid Bin Waleed (R.A.). He was born just three years before the Hijrah (approx. 619 CE). When the Prophet (S.A.W.) died, Abdullah (R.A.) was only thirteen years old. Abdullah ibn Abbas (R.A.) was nephew of the Maymoonah bint Al-Harith (R.A.), who later became Ummul-Muminin [Mohammad's (S.A.W.) wife]. He was known as “Sea of Knowledge” and one of the early Quran scholars.
It is said that Abdullah Ibn Abbas (R.A.) committed to memory about 1,666 sayings (Hadiths) of Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W.) which are recorded and authenticated in the collections of Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
When Abdullah (R.A.) was born, his mother took him to the Prophet (S.A.W.) who put some of his saliva on the baby's tongue even before he began to suckle. This was the beginning of the close and intimate tie between Abdullah Ibn Abbas (R.A.) and the Prophet (S.A.W.) that was to be part of a life-long love and devotion.
When Abdullah (R.A.) reached the age of discretion, he attached himself to the service of the Prophet (S.A.W.). He would run to fetch water for him when he wanted to make wudu. During Salat, he would stand behind the Prophet (S.A.W.) in prayer and when the Prophet (S.A.W.) went on journeys or expeditions, he would follow next in line to him. Abdullah (R.A.) thus became like the shadow of the Prophet (S.A.W.), constantly in his company.
It was narrated that Abdullah Ibn Abbas (R.A.) said: "The Messenger of Allah embraced me and said: 'O Allah, teach him wisdom and the (correct) interpretation of the Book." (Ibn Majah: 166)
The word 'wisdom' used in the context of this Hadith means the knowledge of Hadith. Allah, The Glorified, accepted the prayer of His Messenger (S.A.W.) and bestowed upon Ibn Abbas (R.A.) that high position in the exegesis (interpretation) of the Holy Quran such that he has come to be known as the Prince of Exegetes.
During the lifetime of the Prophet (S.A.W.), Abdullah (R.A.) would not miss any of his assemblies and he would commit to memory whatever he said. After the Prophet (S.A.W.) passed away, he would take care to go to as many companions as possible especially those who knew the Prophet (S.A.W.) longer and learn from them what the Prophet (S.A.W.) had taught them. Whenever he heard that someone knew a hadith of the Prophet (S.A.W.) which he did not know, he would go quickly to him and record it. He would subject whatever he heard to close scrutiny and check it against other reports. He would go to as many as thirty companions to verify a single matter.
