"عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بنِ عُتْبَةَ قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمَ بِالسُّنَّةِ وَلاَ أجْلَدَ رَأيًا، وَلاَ أَثْقَبَ نَظَرًا حِينَ ينْظُرُ مَعَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ لَيَقُولُ لَهُ: قَدْ طَرَأتْ عَلَيْنَا عَضْلُ أقْضِيةٍ أَنْتَ لَهَا ولأمْثَالهَا".

It is narrated from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utbah who said: "I have not seen anyone more knowledgeable of the Sunnah, more firm in opinion, or sharper in insight when looking, than Ibn 'Abbas. Even 'Umar ibn al-Khattab would say to him: 'Difficult rulings have arisen for us, and you are fit for them and those like them.'"
