It is narrated from Ibrahim al-Nakha'i that al-Dahhak bin Qays intended to appoint Masruq to some office. Umarah bin Uqbah said to him: "Are you appointing as governor a man who is one of the remnants of the killers of Uthman?" Masruq replied to him: "Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us, and he was, in our view, a truthful narrator, that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to kill your father (Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt), he asked: '(After my death) what will become of the children?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The Fire' (that is, their abode is Hell). So I am pleased for you with what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased with for you." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that on the day of Badr the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed the ransom of the people of Jahiliyyah (the captives) at four hundred (dirhams). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
