Narrations about Usama bin Zaid
Narrated `Abdullah bin Dinar:
One day Ibn `Umar, while in the Mosque, looked at a man who was dragging his clothes while
walking in one of the corners of the Mosque He said, "See who is that. I wish he was near to me."
Somebody then said (to Ibn `Umar), "Don't you know him, O Abu `Abdur-Rahman? He is
Muhammad bin Usama." On that Ibn `Umar bowed his head and dug the earth with his hands and
then, said, "If Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him, he would have loved him."
حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبَّادٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَاجِشُونُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ قَالَ نَظَرَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَوْمًا وَهْوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يَسْحَبُ ثِيَابَهُ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ انْظُرْ مَنْ هَذَا لَيْتَ هَذَا عِنْدِي قَالَ لَهُ إِنْسَانٌ أَمَا تَعْرِفُ هَذَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ قَالَ فَطَأْطَأَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَأْسَهُ وَنَقَرَ بِيَدَيْهِ فِي الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَحَبَّهُ
Narrations about Usama bin Zaid
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
That the Prophet (ﷺ) used to take him (i.e. Usama) and Al-Hassan (in his
lap) and say: "O Allah! Love them, as I love them."

Narrations about Usama bin Zaid
The freed slave of Usama bin Zaid said,
"Al-Hajjaj bin Aiman bin Um Aiman and Aiman Ibn
Um Aiman was Usama's brother from the maternal side, and he was one of
the Ansar. He was seen by Ibn 'Umar not performing his bowing and
prostrations in a perfect manner. So Ibn 'Umar told him to repeat his
prayer.
وَقَالَ نُعَيْمٌ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي مَوْلًى لأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ الْحَجَّاجَ بْنَ أَيْمَنَ ابْنِ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ وَكَانَ أَيْمَنُ ابْنُ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ أَخَا أُسَامَةَ لأُمِّهِ وَهْوَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَرَآهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لَمْ يُتِمَّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلاَ سُجُودَهُ فَقَالَ أَعِدْ
Narrations about Usama bin Zaid
Harmala, the freed slave of Usama bin Zaid said
that while he
was in the company of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, Al-Hajjaj bin Aiman came in
and (while praying) he did not perform his bowing and prostrations
properly. So Ibn 'Umar told him to repeat his prayer. When he went
away, Ibn 'Umar asked me, "Who is he?" I said, "Al-Hajjaj bin Um
Aiman." Ibn 'Umar said, "If Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him, he would have
loved him." Then Ibn 'Umar mentioned the love of the Prophet (ﷺ) for the
children of Um Aiman. Sulaiman said that Um Aiman was one of the nurses
of the Prophet.

The merits of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهما
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
If a man saw a dream during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) he would narrate it to the Prophet. Once I
wished to see a dream and narrate it to the Prophet (ﷺ) I was young, unmarried, and used to sleep in the
Mosque during the lifetime of the Prophet. I dreamt that two angels took me and went away with me
towards the (Hell) Fire which looked like a well with the inside walls built up, and had two side-walls
like those of a well. There I saw some people in it whom I knew. I started saying, "I seek Refuge with
Allah from the (Hell) Fire, I seek Refuge with Allah from the (Hell) Fire." Then another angel met the
other two and said to me, "Do not be afraid." I narrated my dream to Hafsa who, in her turn, narrated
it to the Prophet. He said, "What an excellent man `Abdullah is if he only observes the night prayer."
(Salem, a sub-narrator said, "Abdullah used not to sleep at night but very little hence forward."

That the Prophet (ﷺ) had said to her, "`Abdullah is a pious man."
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أُخْتِهِ حَفْصَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ
The virtues of ‘Ammar and Hudhaifa رضي الله عنهما
Narrated 'Alqama:
I went to Sham and offered a two-rak`at prayer and then said, "O Allah! Bless me with a good pious
companion." So I went to some people and sat with them. An old man came and sat by my side. I
asked, "Who is he?" They replied, "(He is) Abu-Ad-Darda.' I said (to him), "I prayed to Allah to bless
me with a pious companion and He sent you to me." He asked me, "From where are you?" I replied,
"From the people of Al-Kufa." He said, "Isn't there amongst you Ibn Um `Abd, the one who used to
carry the shoes, the cushion(or pillow) and the water for ablution? Is there amongst you the one
whom Allah gave Refuge from Satan through the request of His Prophet. Is there amongst you the one
who keeps the secrets of the Prophet (ﷺ) which nobody knows except him?" Abu Darda further asked,
"How does `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) recite the Sura starting with, 'By the Night as it conceals (the
light)." (92.1) Then I recited before him:
'By the Night as it envelops: And by the Day as it appears in brightness; And by male and female.'
(91.1-3) On this Abu Ad-Darda' said, "By Allah, the Prophet (ﷺ) made me recite the Sura in this way
while I was listening to him (reciting it).

The virtues of ‘Ammar and Hudhaifa رضي الله عنهما
Narrated Ibrahim:
'Alqama went to Sham and when he entered the mosque, he said, "O Allah ! Bless me with a pious
companion." So he sat with Abu Ad-Darda. Abu Ad-Darda' asked him, "Where are you from?"
'Alqama replied, "From the people of Kufa." Abu Ad-Darda said, "Isn't there amongst you the Keeper
of the secret which nobody else knows i.e. Hudhaifa?" Al-qama said, "Yes." Then Abu Ad-Darda
further said, "Isn't there amongst you the person whom Allah gave Refuge from Satan through the
invocation of His Prophet namely `Ammar?" Alqama replied in the affirmative Abu Ad-Darda said,
"Isn't there amongst you the person who carries the Siwak (or the Secret) (i.e. of the Prophet (ﷺ) namely
`Abdullah bin Massud)?" Alqama said, "Yes." Then Abu Ad-Darda asked, "How (Abdullah bin
Masud) used to recite the Sura starting with: "By the night as it envelopes; By the day as it appears in
brightness?" (92.1-2). Alqama said "And by male and female." Abu Ad-Darda then said, "These
people (of Sham) tried hard to make me accept something other than what I had heard from the
Prophet."

Bilal said to Abu Bakr, "If you have bought me for yourself then keep me (for yourself), but if you
have bought me for Allah's Sake, then leave me for Allah's Work."
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ بِلاَلاً قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتَنِي لِنَفْسِكَ فَأَمْسِكْنِي وَإِنْ كُنْتَ إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتَنِي لِلَّهِ فَدَعْنِي وَعَمَلَ اللَّهِ
