The Spring of My Heart (QUR101) Week Nine Handout – Course Notes Exegetes of the Quran THE EARLY EXEGETES (SAHABAH) ABDULLAH IBN ‘ABBAS Hadith (to the effect of the words) : Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas stayed at the Prophet (saw)’s house overnight. The Prophet (saw) woke up for tahajjud and went to relieve himself. When he (saw) came out, he found that ibn ‘Abbas had made some arrangement for water for him to perform ablution from. Upon this he made a special supplication for him: Allahumma faq-qih-hu fid-deen wa ‘allimhut-ta’weel O Allah grant him understanding of the religion and teach him the (science of) interpretation. Incident during the khilafah of Umar (ra): Umar (ra) had a question to ask about Surah an-Nasr regarding which he asked ibn ‘Abbas (ra).
