Abu al-Tufail (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered people in the courtyard of Kufa and said: "Whoever Muslim heard the statement of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of Ghadir Khumm, I ask him by oath to stand in his place." So thirty men stood up, that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Do you not know that I have more right over the believers than their own selves?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: "Why not!" Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pressed the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Whoever I am beloved to, Ali should also be beloved to him. O Allah, O Allah! Love the one who loves Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and be the enemy of the one who is hostile to him." I left from there and there were some doubts and suspicions in my heart about this. So I met Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "I heard Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying such and such." He said: "Why are you surprised at this? I myself heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying this."

Ibn Abi Layla says that when we would go to Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) and request him to narrate a hadith, he would say that we have grown old and have forgotten, and narrating a hadith from the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a very difficult task.

Abu Minhal (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) and Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) were business partners. On one occasion, both of them bought silver, some in cash and some on credit. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to know of this, he ordered them to keep the transaction that was done in cash, and to return what was bought on credit.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: O Allah! I seek refuge in You from helplessness, laziness, old age, cowardice, miserliness, and the torment of the grave. O Allah, grant my soul piety and purify it, for You are the best to purify it and You are its Master and Protector. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from a heart devoid of humility, an insatiable soul, unbeneficial knowledge, and a supplication that is not accepted. Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach us this supplication and we are teaching it to you.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, during a journey, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) camped at a place and said, "On the Day of Resurrection, those who come to me at the Pond of Kawthar will not even be one hundred-thousandth of you." We asked Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), "How many were you at that time?" He replied, "Six to seven hundred."

Abu Minhal (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) about the exchange of currency. They said, "Ask him, he knows better and is more knowledgeable than me," and the other said, "Ask him, he knows better and is more knowledgeable than me." In any case, both of them said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the deferred sale and purchase of silver in exchange for gold.
