Al-Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib is one of uncles of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Ameerul Mo'mineen (AS). We have many narrations praising him. This should be enough for us.

Wassalam.

Sayyeds are from family tree of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and we need to respect them from the sake of respecting the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) as far as they follow basic faith of the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). If a Sayyed disrespects or goes against the main facts and teachings of the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt (AS), he will not be entitled to receive the respect which he has gone against.

Piousness and Taqawi is the main criteria in Islam. Son of Prophet Noah was destroyed because he disobeyed his father. We have also in our history some Sayyeds who harmed Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) and tried to kill him like Al-Hasan al-Aftas الحسن الآفطس 

‘Pious Sayyeds deserve respect as much as they are pious in following the Prophet  (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Disobeying Sayyed is a sinner who can never like the pious Sayyed.

Wassalam.

Sunni hadith may be considered on a case by case basis regarding their authenticity.

"If there was a prophet after me, it would be 'Umar" - Sunni scholars have disagreed regarding the authenticity of this narration. Some Sunni scholars have considered it authentic, whereas others consider it weak and reject it. Shi'i scholars do not accept it. 

In al-Kafi, it is related that Imam al-Sadiq said that the Prophet said: "Recite the Qur'an according to the tones and sounds of the Arabs. Beware of using melodies belonging to people who transgress or commit misdeeds. For, after me, different peoples will chant the Qur'an in a singing and cooing fashion. The monks' incantations are also not allowed for it, for their hearts are facing the wrong way, as are the hearts of those who admire them." 

So this is the general idea of maqamat, which are the traditional musical modes of the Arabs, although not exactly mentioning maqamat in detail.
