Translation

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu’anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) once told Sayyiduna ‘Abbas (radiyallahu’anhu):

‘Bring your children to me on Monday morning, so I can make a du’a that will benefit you and your children.’

The next day He (‘Abbas (radiyallahu’anhu) went, and we followed.

Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) put his garment on us and then said:

‘O Allah, grant ‘Abbas and his children inner and outer forgiveness which leaves behind no sin [on them]. O Allah protect his children.’
