Chapter 47 · The Book of Virtuesوحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ مِنْهَالٍ الضَّرِيرُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ: كَمْ أَتَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ مَاتَ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسِبُ مِثْلَكَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ ذَاكَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ: إِنِّي قَدْ سَأَلْتُ النَّاسَ فَاخْتَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ قَوْلَكَ فِيهِ، قَالَ: أَتَحْسُبُ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «أَمْسِكْ أَرْبَعِينَ، بُعِثَ لَهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ بِمَكَّةَ يَأْمَنُ وَيَخَافُ، وَعَشْرَ مِنْ مُهَاجَرِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ».

I asked Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ how old was he when death overtook the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He said: I little know that such a thing is not known to a man like you who belong to his people. He said: I asked people about it but they differed with me, and I liked to know your opinion about it. He said: Do you know counting? He said: Yes. He then said: Bear this in mind very well that he was commissioned (as a Prophet) at the age of forty, and he stayed in Mecca for fifteen years; sometime in peace and sometime in dread, and (lived) for ten years after his migration to Medina.
