It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it rained one night. When morning came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you not hear what your Lord said last night? Allah Almighty said: Whenever I bestow a blessing upon My servants, a group among them begins to show ingratitude for it and says that it rained upon us because of such-and-such star. Therefore, whoever believes in Me and praises Me for providing water, he believes in Me and rejects the stars. And whoever says that it rained upon us because of such-and-such star, he believes in the star and disbelieves in Me."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he himself or another man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the ruling regarding a lost sheep. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You should take it, for either you will find it or the wolf will take it." The questioner asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What is the ruling if a lost camel is found?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became extremely angry, so much so that his blessed cheeks turned red, and he said: "What do you have to do with it? It has its water bag and its shoes with it, and it can eat the leaves of the trees." Then the questioner asked: "O Messenger of Allah! If I find silver in a pouch, what do you say?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep its container, its tie, and its number well preserved, and announce it for a year. If its owner comes during that time, hand it over to him; otherwise, it becomes yours."

Sayyiduna Basr bin Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once Abu Juhaym, the nephew of Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), sent me to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask him about the hadith which he had heard regarding a person passing in front of someone who is praying. He said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: For a person, it is better to stand and wait for forty . . . . . than to pass in front of someone who is praying. I do not remember whether the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said days, months, or years.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then prays two rak'ahs without being heedless in them, Allah will forgive all his past sins."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about a slave-girl who commits fornication before being married. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Flog her. If she does it again, then flog her again. And if she does it a fourth time, then sell her, even if it is for a rope.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
