them felt it (did not like that) and said to ‘Umar “Why do you bring in this boy to sit with us while we
have sons like him?” Umar replied, “Because of what you know of his position (i.e. his religious
knowledge.)” One day ‘Umar called me and made me sit in the gathering of those people; and I think
that he called me just to show them. (my religious knowledge). ‘Umar then asked them (in my pres –

anything. On that, ‘Umar asked me, “Do you say the same, O Ibn ‘Abbas?” I replied, “No.” He said,
‘What do you say then?” I replied, “That is the sign of the death of Allah’s Apostle which Allah in –

(of Mecca) (which is the sign of your death). You should celebrate the praises of your Lord and ask
for His Forgiveness, and He is the One Who accepts the repentance and forgives.’ (110.3) On that
‘Umar said, “I do not know anything about it other than what you have said.”

hamstrung it. Allah’s Apostle recited:–
‘When, the most wicked man among them went forth (to hamstrung the she-camel).’ (91.12.)

Abi Zama went forth to (hamstrung) it.” The Prophet then mentioned about the women (in his ser –

same evening.” Then he advised them not to laugh when somebody breaks wind and said, “Why
should anybody laugh at what he himself does?”

of our arrival so he came to us and said, “Is there anybody among you who can recite (Qur’an)” We
replied in the affirmative. Then he asked, “Who is the best reciter?” They pointed at me. Then he told
me to recite, so I recited the verse:–
‘By the night as it envelops ‘By the day as it appears in brightness; By (Him Who created) male and
the female.’ (92.1-3) Abu Ad-Darda’ then said to me, “Did you hear it (like this) from the mouth of
your friend (‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud)?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “I too, heard it (like this) from the mouth of
the Prophet, but these people do not consider this recitation as the correct one.”
