Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Khalid bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him). It is narrated from Asim bin Umar bin Qatadah and other scholars of hadith that at the time of the first emigration to Abyssinia, whose leader was Sayyiduna Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), among Banu Asad bin Abd al-Uzza was Sayyiduna Khalid bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) (the brother of Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam). He passed away on the way, before reaching Abyssinia. Al-Mughirah bin Abd al-Rahman al-Asadi narrates from his father that this verse was revealed concerning him: "And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him (on the way), his reward has become incumbent upon Allah" [Surah al-Nisa': 100] . Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him). Imam Bukhari and Muslim have agreed (on recording the report) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I passed by Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam while he was reciting Surah al-Baqarah during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)" (the complete hadith). Imam al-Hakim says that according to the arrangement of the book, Khalid bin Hizam should have been mentioned before Hakim and Hisham after them, but I have brought them together here so that it is easier for the reader to understand. Now, mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who used to answer the satire of the idolaters on behalf of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the community of Muslims.
