Ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Sulayman, he said: I heard 'Umara, its meaning.

It is narrated from Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) that we complained to the Prophet (peace be upon him) about the intense heat at the time of the Zuhr prayer, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not remove it (because the times of prayer are fixed by Allah).

A man from Abdul Qais who was with the Khawarij and then separated from them says that the Khawarij entered a town, and from there, Abdullah bin Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) came out in fear, dragging his sheet. The Khawarij said to him, "Do not be afraid." He replied, "By Allah, you have frightened me." The Khawarij asked, "Are you Abdullah, the son of Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him), the companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes." The Khawarij said, "Have you heard any hadith from your father regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that you can narrate to us?" He replied, "Yes, I heard my father say regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), mentioning the time of tribulations, said: 'In that time, the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running. If you reach that time, then become the slain servant of Allah, not the killer servant of Allah.'" The Khawarij asked, "Did you really hear this from your father regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes." So they seized Abdullah, took him to the bank of the river, and martyred him there. His blood was flowing as if it were a sandal strap that had not been separated. Then they ripped open the belly of his slave woman (umm walad) and killed her child as well.

Narrated to us by Abu al-Nadr, narrated to us by Sulayman, from Humayd ibn Hilal, similarly, except that he said: "ma amdhaqarra," meaning it did not separate, and he said: "Do not be 'Abd Allah the killer," and likewise Bahz also said.

Haritha reports: I went to visit Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was ill. He had cauterized his body. When he saw me, he said: I do not think anyone has suffered as much pain as I have. During the blessed era of the Prophet (peace be upon him), I could not get even a single dirham, and now in one corner of my house, forty thousand dirhams are buried. If I had not heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say, "None of you should wish for death," I would certainly have wished for it.

Narrated to us by Abu Mu'awiyah, narrated to us by Al-A'mash, and Ibn Numayr, informed us by Al-A'mash, from 'Umara, from Abu Ma'mar, who said: I said to Khabbab, "Did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him...?" and he mentioned it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Khabbab bin Al-Aratt (may Allah be pleased with him) that I used to work with iron in Makkah Mukarramah and I was working for ‘As bin Wa’il. Once, some dirhams became due to me from him. I came to him to demand them, so he said,“I will not pay you until you deny Muhammad.”I said,“I will not deny Muhammad, not even if you die and are brought back to life.”He said,“When I am brought back to life, I will have wealth and children (then I will pay your debt).”I mentioned this incident to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so Allah revealed this verse:“Have you seen the one who disbelieves in Our verses and says, ‘I will surely be given wealth and children [in the Hereafter] ?’”

Qais says: We went to visit Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was busy constructing his garden. Seeing us, he said, "A Muslim receives reward for everything except for what he plants in this soil." He had treated himself by cauterizing his stomach seven times and was saying, "If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not forbidden us from praying for death, I would surely have prayed for it, because my illness has become prolonged." And he said, "Our companions who have passed away, the world could not diminish their reward in the least, and as for us, whatever we received after them, we found no place for it except in the soil." It is narrated from Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we presented ourselves in the court of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah, reclining on his cloak. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for us and seek help for us." Upon hearing this, the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned red and he said, "For those before you, pits would be dug for them as a punishment for accepting the religion, and saws would be placed on their heads and their heads would be split, but this would not turn them away from their religion. Similarly, iron combs would be driven into the flesh and nerves behind their bones, but this pain would not turn them away from their religion. And Allah will surely complete this religion until a rider will travel between Sana'a and Hadramaut fearing none but Allah, or the attack of a wolf on his sheep. But you people are hasty."

Muhammad ibn Yazid narrated to us, Isma'il narrated to us, and he mentioned its meaning except that he said: "The world did not diminish them in anything, and iron combs were used on the flesh and nerves beneath his bone, yet nothing turned him away from his religion."

The daughter of Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with an army, and behind him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took such care of us that he would milk our goat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would milk the goat into a large bowl, and the bowl would become full to the brim. When Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) returned and milked it, he extracted the usual amount of milk. We said to him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to milk it and the bowl would become full to the brim, but when you milked it, the milk decreased.
