Abdullah bin Harith, may Allah have mercy on him, says that during the caliphate of Hazrat Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, my father arranged my marriage and invited several companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to it. Among them was Hazrat Safwan bin Umayyah, may Allah be pleased with him, who had become extremely old. When he came, he said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Tear the meat with your teeth and eat it, for it is more pleasant and easier to digest this way."

It is narrated from Hazrat Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Hunayn, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him for some armors as a loan. (At that time, Safwan had not yet embraced Islam.) He asked, "O Muhammad! Are you taking them with the intention of seizing them by force?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "No, with the intention of borrowing, for which I am a guarantor." Coincidentally, some of those armors were lost. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered him compensation for them, but he said, "O Messenger of Allah! Today I feel a greater inclination towards Islam."

It is narrated from Hazrat Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that someone said to him that whoever does not migrate is ruined.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Wahb! There is absolutely no such thing. You may return to the plain of Makkah." While I was sleeping in Masjid Nabawi, a thief came and took the cloth from under my head and left. I chased him, caught him, and presented him before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that this person has stolen my cloth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his hand to be cut off. I said: O Messenger of Allah! That was not my intention; this cloth is charity for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then why did you not give it in charity before bringing him to me?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Safwan bin Umayyah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) granted me a share of the spoils of war on the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn: Previously, I harbored the greatest enmity towards him, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) bestowed so much generosity and kindness upon me that he became dearer to me than all people.

It is narrated from Hazrat Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a thief came and took a cloth from under my head and went away. I chased him, caught him, and presented him before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "This person has stolen my cloth." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his hand to be cut off. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! (That was not my intention, this cloth is charity for him) I forgive him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not forgive him before bringing him to me?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had his hand cut off.

It is narrated from Hazrat Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that someone said to him that whoever does not migrate will not enter Paradise.

So I mounted my ride and presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Some people are saying that whoever has not migrated will not enter Paradise? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After the conquest of Makkah, there is no command for migration, but jihad and intention remain. Therefore, when you are called to go out, then you should go out."
