[6100] 121 – (2353) It was narrated that 'Ammâr, the freed slave of Banü Hâshim, said: "I asked Ibn 'Abbâs: 'How old was the Messenger of Allah on the day he died?' He said: 'I did not think that a man of such standing among his people as you would be unaware of that." He said: "I said: 'I asked the people and they gave me different answers. I want to know what you say.' He said: 'Do you know how to count?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Bear in mind that he was sent as a Prophet when he was forty. Fifteen years in Makkah, in it were times of safety and times of fear, and ten years after he migrated to Al-Madinah."'
