Mutarrif says that once Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, "I will narrate to you a hadith, perhaps Allah will benefit you through it, and it is this: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined Hajj and Umrah in one journey, then he did not prohibit it until his passing, nor was any command regarding its prohibition revealed in the Qur'an. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to greet me first; when I underwent treatment through cauterization, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped (greeting me), then when I abandoned that practice, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) started greeting me again."

It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Have the people of Hell and the people of Paradise already been distinguished from each other?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Yes!" He then asked, "Then why do those who act, perform deeds?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Every person does the deeds for which he was created."

It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best era of this Ummah is the one in which I have been sent, then the era of those who come after them, then there will come a people who will make vows but will not fulfill them, they will be treacherous and will not be trustworthy, they will be ready to give testimony though it will not be asked from them, and obesity will become common among them.

Hajjaj narrated to us, Shu’bah informed us, he said: I heard Abu Jamrah say: Zahdam came to me in my house and narrated to me, he said: I heard Imran ibn Husayn narrate that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best of you are my generation." And he mentioned something similar except that he said: "And they betray and are not to be trusted."

Mutarrif says that he had two wives. Once, when he came to one of his wives, she started to remove his turban and asked, "Are you coming from your other wife?" He replied, "I am coming from Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him), and he narrated this hadith to me: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'The least residents of Paradise will be women.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that I bear witness that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (the use of) Hantham, gold rings, and silk.

It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked someone, "Have you kept any fast at the end of this month of Sha'ban?"

Mutarrif bin Shukhair says that I was with Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) in Kufa, when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) led us in prayer.

When the prayer was finished, Hazrat Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He has led us in prayer just like the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray.

Mutarrif bin Abdullah says that Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for me during his illness of death. I went to him and he said: I have narrated many ahadith to you, from which it is possible that after me Allah will benefit you, and also include this in your knowledge that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to greet me with salam as long as I was alive. Keep this hidden, and when I die, if you wish, then you may narrate it.

Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar informed us, from Qatadah, from Mutarrif, who said: Imran ibn Husayn said to me, and he mentioned the like of it, and said: Do not narrate them until I die.
