It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Love Suhayb as a mother loves her child."

It is narrated from Sulayman bin Abi Abdullah that Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say to us: Come, let us tell you about our military expeditions; but as for us saying "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said", that we will not do (that is, he avoided saying it out of caution). Imam al-Hakim says that this hadith is explained by the following narration.

It is narrated from Sayfi bin Suhayb that he said: I asked my father, Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him): Why is it that you do not narrate hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as the other Companions do? He said: O my dear son! I heard just as they heard, but what prevents me from narrating hadith is that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever deliberately lies about me will be charged on the Day of Resurrection with tying a knot between the two ends of a grain of barley, and he will never be able to do it (that is, he will face severe punishment)."

It is narrated from al-Miswar bin Makhramah that when Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was stabbed, (before his martyrdom) he ordered Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him), the ally of Banu Jud'an, to lead the people in prayer.

Hisham al-Kalbi states that Sayyiduna Suhayb bin Sinan (may Allah be pleased with him) was an ally of Abdullah bin Jud'an al-Taymi.
