Hadith 33:201

Ibn ‘Ulayyah narrated to us, from Ayyub, from ‘Ikrimah, who said: Al-‘Abbas said, "I will certainly find out how long the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) will remain among us." So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you were to take a shaded structure (arish) and speak to the people, for they have surely harmed you." He said, "I will not cease to be among them, while they tread upon my heels, pull at my cloak, and their dust reaches me, until Allah gives me rest from them."

حدثنا بن عليه عن أيوب عن عكرمة قال قال العباس لأعلمن ما بقي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فينا فقلت يا رسول الله لو اتخذت عريشا فكلمت الناس فانهم قد آذوك قال لا أزال بين أظهرهم يطؤون عقبي وينازعوني ردائي ويصيبني غبارهم حتى يكون الله يريحني منهم
