حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَائِلَةَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ثنا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَعْلَى بْنَ حَكِيمٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَتَعَلَّمَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَسْأَلُهُمْ؛ فَإِنَّهُمْ كَثِيرٌ فَقَالَ الْعَجَبُ وَاللهِ لَكَ يَا ابنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَتَرَى النَّاسَ يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَفِي النَّاسِ مَنْ تَرَى مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَتَرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ وَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَتَتَبُّعِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَآتِي الرَّجُلَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ يَبْلُغُنِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَجِدُهُ قَائِلًا فَأَتَوَسَّدُ رِدَائِي عَلَى بَابِ دَارِهِ تَسْفِي الرِّيَاحُ عَلَى وَجْهِي حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ إِلَيَّ فَإِذَا رَآنِي قَالَ يَا ابنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَا لَكَ؟ قُلْتُ حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْكَ فَيَقُولُ هَلَّا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ فَآتِيَكَ فَأَقُولُ أَنَا كُنْتُ أَحَقَّ أَنْ آتِيَكَ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ يَرَانِي قَدْ ذَهَبَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدِ احْتَاجَ النَّاسُ إِلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ أَنْتَ كُنْتَ أَحَقَّ مِنِّي

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I said to a man: 'Come, let us learn from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask them, for they are many.' He said: 'How strange, by God, O Ibn Abbas! Do you think people will need you when among the people are those you see from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' So I left that and devoted myself to asking and seeking out the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If I heard of a man who had a hadith he had heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would go to him and find him taking a midday nap. I would use my cloak as a pillow at his door while the wind blew dust onto my face until he came out to me. When he saw me he would say: 'O cousin of the Messenger of Allah, what is the matter?' I would say: 'A hadith has reached me that you narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I wanted to hear it from you.' He would say: 'Why did you not send for me so that I could come to you?' I would say: 'I was more deserving of coming to you.' Then that man would see me when the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had passed away and people needed me, and he would say: 'You were more deserving than me.'
