The student: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.
The biography of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). He is: the scholar of this Ummah, the jurist of the era, and the imam of exegesis. His name is Abu al-'Abbas 'Abd Allah ibn al-'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib ibn Shihbah ibn Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf.

The Shaykh : "The jurist of the era"—if you delete this, because his era... is well known among the scholars, yes.
The student: "The interpreter of the Qur'an" is the well-known title.

The Shaykh : Correct, because the Messenger said:
O Allah, give him understanding in the religion and teach him interpretation اللهم فقهه في الدين وعلمه التأويل
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29:588
, yes.
The student: His birth was in Makkah in the valley of Banu Hashim, three years before the year of the Hijrah. He accompanied the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for approximately thirty months.

The Shaykh : How old would he have been then, three years before the Hijrah? He would have been about fifteen years old at the time of the Messenger’s death, is that right?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: He says, O Shaykh: in the valley?

The Shaykh : The valley, in the valley of Banu Hashim, in the valley of Banu Hashim, yes.
The student: And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him with this supplication:
O Allah, grant him understanding in the religion and teach him wisdom and interpretation اللهم فقهه في الدين وعلمه الحكمة والتأويل
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29:588
, and al-Faruq 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said about him: "Yes, the interpreter of the Qur'an is Ibn 'Abbas", and Umm al-Mu'minin Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said about him: "The most knowledgeable of those remaining regarding the Sunnah", and he passed away in the year seventy or eighty of the Hijrah, and he lived seventy-one years (may Allah be pleased with him and grant him satisfaction).

The Shaykh : Well done, good.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: To whom is it attributed?

The Shaykh : What?
The student: To whom is it attributed?

The Shaykh : Yes, these are the biographies in any case.
The student: Do you see, O Shaykh, the ones you rely on?

The Shaykh : No, no, these are relied upon, if Allah wills, there is nothing wrong with them, and now if he mentions some of his virtues.
The student: I summarized it briefly.

The Shaykh : There is no harm, there is no harm, good, you have fulfilled the obligation, I say: you have fulfilled the obligation.
After them?
The student: Al-Bukhari.

The Shaykh : Come on, Al-Bukhari, it appears that it will be the extraction of the tooth... I say we will rely on the rule: extraction of the tooth or extraction from it.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, yes, better because it is three and problematic, and after that, what remains with Fahd now...
The student: I have it, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes, you must come, come here, this is open.
The student: Is there anyone?

The Shaykh : There is no one, there is no one now, yes, come on.
