Ibn Abbas met me and asked, "Have you married?"I said, "No."He said, "Marry."Then he met me again later and asked, "Have you married?"I said, "No."He said, "Marry, for the best of this ummah are those with the most wives."
حدثنا أسباط بن محمد حدثنا عطاء بن السائب
لقيني ابن عباس فقال تزوجت قال قلت لا قال تزوج ثم لقيني بعد ذلك فقال تزوجت قال قلت لا قال تزوج فإن خير هذه الأمة أكثرها نساء
Its isnad is hasan. Asbat bin Muhammad was not mentioned among those who heard from Ataa before he became confused in his old age, and he came later, so it appears that he heard from him at a late stage. This will come again at 2179.
