Abdullah Ibn Abbas The Young Scholar

 

Abdullah Ibn Abbas was a young cousin of Prophet Muhammad (s) from his father's side. He spent a lot of his time with the Prophet (s) as he was frequently staying with his maternal aunt Maimunah, who was one of the Prophet's wives. He also accompanied the Prophet (s) everywhere as he wanted to learn everything he could from the Prophet (s). 

The Prophet (s) made dua for him saying, "Oh Allah! Teach him (Quranic) interpretation and grant him understanding in the religion."
