Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Ismāʿīl ibn Qays, reporting through Abū Ḥāzim from Sahl, said:

When the Prophet ﷺ returned from Badr, al-ʿAbbās asked him for permission to go back to Mecca so that he could emigrate from there. He replied, “Rest assured, dear uncle, for you are the last of the Emigrants, just as I am the Seal of the Prophets (1).”

Its chain of transmission is weak.

The ḥadith was recorded by Abū Yaʿlā and al-Shāshī (2) in their respective Musnads, and a similar report appears among the mursal narrations of al-Zuhrī.

Ibn Saʿd (3) said: “The second tier of the Emigrants and the Helpers who did not witness Badr begins with al-ʿAbbās.” He added: “His mother was Nutaylah bint Janāb ibn Kulayb,” and he traced her lineage back to Rabīʿah ibn Nizār ibn Maʿadd.

Ibn ʿAbbās reported: “My father was born three years before the Year of the Elephant.”

His children were: al-Faḍl—his eldest—, ʿAbd Allāh al-Baḥr (4), ʿUbayd Allāh, Qutham—who left no offspring—, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān—who died in Syria without issue—, Maʿbad—martyred in Ifrīqiyah—, and Umm Ḥabīb (5).

Their mother was Umm al-Faḍl, Lubābah al-Hilāliyya, about whom Ibn Yazīd al-Hilālī said:

(1) The chain of transmission is very weak. Ismail b. Qays was branded “munkar al-hadith” (his reports are denounced) by al-Bukhari and al-Daraqutni; al-Nasa’i and others declared him weak; Ibn ‘Adi added, “most of what he relates is munkar.” Al-Haythami cites the report in Majma‘ al-zawa’id 9/269, noting: “It was transmitted by Abu Ya‘la and al-Tabarani; its isnad contains Abu Musab Ismail b. Qays, who has been abandoned.” Al-Muttaqi lists the hadith in Kanz al-‘ummal 3/519, attributing it to al-Shashi and Ibn ‘Asakir. (2) This is al-Haytham b. Kulayb b. Shurayh al-Shashi, a hadith scholar from Transoxiana and author of the Musnad al-kabir; he died in 533/1138. A manuscript of the work is preserved in the Zahiriya Library, Damascus. See Tadhkirat al-huffaz, pp. 848–849. (3) Al-Tabaqat, 4/5. (4) Al-Tabaqat records the name as al-habr. (5) The base text also reads “Habib,” and the same occurs in Majma‘ al-zawa’id and in al-Tabaqat: “and Umm Habiba.”

إِسْمَاعِيْلُ بنُ قَيْسٍ: عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ بَدْرٍ، اسْتَأْذَنَهُ العَبَّاسُ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، حَتَّى يُهَاجِرَ مِنْهَا. فَقَالَ: (اطْمَئِنَّ يَا عَمُّ، فَإِنَّكَ خَاتَمُ المُهَاجِرِيْنَ، كَمَا أَنَا خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّيْنَ (١)) . إِسْنَادُهُ وَاهٍ. رَوَاهُ: أَبُو يَعْلَى، وَالشَّاشِيُّ (٢) فِي (مُسْنَدَيْهِمَا) . وَيُرْوَى نَحْوُهُ مِنْ مَرَاسِيْلِ الزُّهْرِيِّ. قَالَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ (٣) : الطَّبَقَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ مِنَ المُهَاجِرِيْنَ وَالأَنْصَارِ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ بَدْراً: فَبَدَأَ بِالعَبَّاسِ. قَالَ: وَأُمُّهُ نُتَيْلَةُ بِنْتُ جَنَابِ بنِ كُلَيْبٍ. وَسَرَدَ نَسَبَهَا إِلَى رَبِيْعَةَ بنِ نِزَارِ بنِ مَعَدٍّ. وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: وُلِدَ أَبِي قَبْلَ أَصْحَابِ الفِيْلِ بِثَلاَثِ سِنِيْنَ. وَبَنُوْهُ: الفَضْلُ - وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُهُمْ - وَعَبْدُ اللهِ البَحْرُ (٤) ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ، وَقُثَمُ - وَلَمْ يُعْقِبْ - وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ - تُوُفِّيَ بِالشَّامِ وَلَمْ يُعْقِبْ - وَمَعَبْدٌ - اسْتُشْهِدَ بِإِفْرِيْقِيَةَ - وَأَمُّ حَبِيْبٍ (٥) . وَأُمُّهُمْ: أُمُّ الفَضْلِ لُبَابَةُ الهِلاَلِيَّةُ، وَفِيْهَا يَقُوْلُ ابْنُ يَزِيْدَ الهِلاَلِيُّ:
