4753. Narrated Ibn Abī Mulaika: Ibn 'Abbās asked permission to visit 'Aishah before her death, and at that time she was in a state of agony. She then said, "I am afraid that he will praise me too much." And then it was said to her, "He is the cousin of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and one of the prominent Muslims." Then she said, "Allow him to enter." (When he entered) he said, "How are you?" She replied, "I am alright if I fear (Allāh).” Ibn Abbās said, “If Allāh will, you are alright, as you are the wife of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ; and he did not marry any virgin except you, and proof of your innocence was revealed from the heaven.” Later on Ibn Az-Zubair entered after him and ‘Āishah said to him, “Ibn ‘Abbās came to me and praised me greatly, but I wish that I was a thing forgotten and out of sight.”
