Sa'id bin Amr bin Ja'dah bin Hubayrah narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather Sayyiduna Ja'dah bin Hubayrah, who said: I heard my mother Sayyidah Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has favoured Quraysh with seven distinctions that were not given to anyone before them, nor will they be given to anyone after them: prophethood is among them; the custodianship of the Ka'bah (hijabah) is among them; the service of giving water to the pilgrims (siqayah) is among them; Allah helped them against the people of the elephant while they did not worship Allah; they worshipped Allah for ten years when no one besides them worshipped Him; and a surah was revealed about them in which no one else shares with them: 'For the familiarity of Quraysh' [Surah Quraysh: 1] ." Yahya bin Ja'dah bin Hubayrah has also narrated a hadith from his grandmother Umm Hani'.

Yahya bin Ja'dah bin Hubayrah narrates from his grandmother Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: "I used to hear the recitation of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at night while I was on the raised platform (or elevated place) of my household." Among the daughters of Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim is Sayyidah Arwa bint Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her), who is one of the paternal aunts of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah was pleased with her.
