Hadith 170

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisaas’ – Ja’far Bin Al-Husayn, from Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Zareeh Al Muhariby, from Abu Abdullah-asws, and from Ibn Jareeh and someone else from Saqeef. ‘When Ibn Abbas died and they came out with him, a white bird came out from under his shroud. They looked at it flying away towards the sky until it disappeared from them. And Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws used to love him with intense love, and my-asws father-asws when he-asws was a boy, his-asws mother would make him-asws wear his clothes, and he-asws would go among the boys of the clan of Abdul Muttalib-as. He-asws said: ‘He-asws went to him (Ibn Abbas). He said, ‘Who are you? ’ After his eyesight had been blinded. He-asws said: ‘I-asws am Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws’. He said, ‘It suffices you-asws. One who does not recognise you-asws, and he does not recognise you-asws’’. [52]
