Kuraib (may Allah have mercy on him) says that he asked Hazrat Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), "Tell me, what did you do on the night when you were riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "We reached that valley for Maghrib where people used to make their mounts sit down. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also made his she-camel sit there, then he urinated and cleaned himself with water, then he asked for water for ablution and performed ablution, but not in an exaggerated manner. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! The time for prayer has come.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'The prayer is ahead of you.' Then he mounted his ride and reached Muzdalifah, where he offered the Maghrib prayer. Then people made their mounts sit at their respective places, and before they could even untie their luggage, the Isha prayer was established. They prayed and people began to rest. I asked, 'When morning came, what did you do then?' He replied, 'At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had Hazrat Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) riding behind him, and I was walking among the people of Quraish on foot.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no usury in cash transactions; it is in deferred transactions.

It is narrated from a freed slave of Hazrat Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day he went with Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) to Wadi al-Qura in search of his wealth. It was the habit of Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. His slave asked him, "Despite being so old and weak, why do you so regularly fast on Mondays and Thursdays?" He replied that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. Someone asked him the reason for this, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "On Mondays and Thursdays, the deeds of people are presented."

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us towards a tribe in the sandy areas of Juhaina. We attacked them in the morning and began fighting. Among them was a man who, whenever he appeared before us, fought with the greatest bravery, and when his people turned their backs and fled, he would protect them from behind. I, along with an Ansari, surrounded him. As soon as we tightened the circle around him, he immediately said, "La ilaha illallah." At this, the Ansari withdrew his hand, but I killed him. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this, he said, "Usama! After he had said 'La ilaha illallah,' you still killed him?" I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! He said this to save his life." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated his statement so many times that I began to wish that I had accepted Islam only that day.

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have not left behind me any trial more severe for the men of my ummah than women.

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the return from Arafat, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) seated him behind himself. When they reached the valley, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted and urinated—the narrator did not use the expression "poured water." Then I poured water over him and he performed a light ablution. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! The time for prayer has come." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The prayer is ahead of you." Then he mounted his ride and reached Muzdalifah, where he performed the Maghrib prayer. Then the people made their mounts sit at their respective places, and they had not yet unpacked their belongings when the Isha prayer was established.

Abu Salih says that I heard Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that gold should be sold for gold with equal weight. I met Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), so I asked him, "The thing you say, do you find its proof in the Qur'an, or have you heard anything about it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "I have not found this in the Book of Allah, nor have I heard it directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but Usamah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) has informed me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Riba (usury) is related to credit.'"

Aamir bin Sa’d (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man came to Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask about the plague, so Hazrat Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“I will tell you about it. I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The plague is a punishment which Allah the Exalted sent upon the people before you (the Children of Israel). Sometimes it comes and sometimes it goes. Therefore, if an epidemic spreads in a region, do not go into that region, and if an epidemic spreads in a region where you are already present, do not flee from it.”
