حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ يَعْنِي اسْتَأْذَنَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهَا بَنُو أَخِيهَا قَالَتْ أَخَافُ أَنْ يُزَكِّيَنِي فَلَمَّا أَذِنَتْ لَهُ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَكِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ تَلْقَيْ الْأَحِبَّةَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُفَارِقَ الرُّوحُ الْجَسَدَ كُنْتِ أَحَبَّ أَزْوَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّ
َمَ إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُحِبُّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا طَيِّبًا وَسَقَطَتْ قِلَادَتُكِ لَيْلَةَ الْأَبْوَاءِ فَنَزَلَتْ فِيكِ آيَاتٌ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَيْسَ مَسْجِدٌ مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَّا يُتْلَى فِيهِ عُذْرُكِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَتْ دَعْنِي مِنْ تَزْكِيَتِكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَوَاللَّهِ لَوَدِدْتُ

Sufyan narrated to us, from Ma'mar, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Uthman ibn Khuthaym, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah — God willing — meaning: Ibn 'Abbas sought permission to visit 'A'ishah. Her nephews kept urging her. She said: "I fear he will praise me." When she gave him permission, he said: "Between you and meeting the beloved ones is only that the soul departs the body. You were the most beloved of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ's ﷺ wives to him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not love except what is good. Your necklace fell on the night of al-Abwa', and verses of the Quran were revealed concerning you. There is not a single mosque of the Muslims' mosques except that your vindication is recited in it during the hours of the night and the hours of the day." She said: "Leave me from your praise, O Ibn 'Abbas! By Allah, I wish..."
