Ammar; the freed slave of Banu Hashim; reported: I asked Ibn Abbas how old was he when death overtook the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: I little know that such a thing is not known to a man like you who belong to his people. He said: I asked people about it but they differed with me; and I liked to know your opinion about it. He said: Do you know counting? He said: Yes. He then said: Bear this in mind very well that he was commissioned as a Prophet at the age of forty; and he stayed in Mecca for fifteen years; sometime in peace and sometime in dread; and lived for ten years after his migration to Medina.
