'Abd Allah b. 'Abbas

Abdullah ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, was the son of the second caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab and one of the most devoted companion narrators in Islamic history. He embraced Islam as a very young man alongside his father before the Hijra and sought the Prophet's permission to participate in the Battle of Badr, though the Prophet deemed him too young. He was permitted to fight from Uhud onward. He narrated approximately 2,630 hadiths and was known for his extreme caution and scrupulousness in following the Prophet's Sunnah: he would retrace the Prophet's footsteps on journeys, pray at spots the Prophet had prayed at, and follow the minutest details of prophetic practice. He refused political appointments and avoided involvement in civil strife, dedicating his life to worship and learning. He was one of the longest-lived major companions, dying around 73–74 AH, and Tabi'i scholars across generations relied on him as their primary source. His narrations are foundational across all four major legal schools. This is a variant entry for the same companion.
