It is reported from Salih bin Kaysan that Abu al-Haytham bin al-Tayyihan (may Allah be pleased with him) died during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is reported from the elders of Banu Abd al-Ashhal that Abu al-Haytham bin al-Tayyihan (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the year 20 AH in Madinah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out of his house at midday and saw Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting in the mosque. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Abu Bakr! What has brought you out of your house at this hour?" He said: O Messenger of Allah! The same need (hunger) that brought you out. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O son of al-Khattab! What has brought you out?" He too said the same as Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had said. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat with the two of them and talked, and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have the strength for us to go to these date-palm orchards" (he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards the houses of the Ansar) "so that, if Allah wills, we may find food, drink and shade?" We said: Yes. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set off, and we went along with him (peace and blessings be upon him).
