Aban bin Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) came out from Marwan at midday. We began to say among ourselves that if Marwan has called him at this time, then surely it must have been to ask something. So I got up and went to him and asked him this very question. He replied, "Yes! He had asked me about some matters which I had heard from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'May Allah keep fresh and flourishing the person who hears a hadith from us, remembers it, and conveys it to others, for many people who carry knowledge of fiqh are not themselves jurists, but they convey it to those who are more knowledgeable and understanding than themselves.' And he said: 'Whoever's concern is the Hereafter, Allah gathers his affairs for him, enriches his heart, and the world comes to him humbled. And whoever's intention is the world, Allah scatters his affairs, places poverty before his eyes, and he only gets from the world what has been decreed for him.' And we asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about the middle prayer (Salat al-Wusta), and the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'It is the Zuhr prayer.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that I recited Surah Najm before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform sajdah (prostration).

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer of fear in a region of Banu Sulaym called "Dhi Qarad." The people formed two rows behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): one row stood facing the enemy, and one row stood behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for prayer. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led these people in one rak'ah, then these people walked backwards to the place of those standing before the enemy, and those people came and stood behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in the second rak'ah.

Waki‘ narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Rukayn al-Fazari, from al-Qasim ibn Hassan, from Zayd ibn Thabit, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, performed the prayer of fear, and he mentioned similar to the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in his chamber; he came out and would pray in his chamber. When people found out, they began to join the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform the Zuhr prayer during the midday heat, and for the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) there was no prayer more difficult than this. Upon this, the following verse was revealed: "Guard strictly all the prayers, especially the middle prayer," and he said, "There are two prayers before it and two prayers after it."

Hazrat Ibn ‘As (may Allah be pleased with him) and Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) were assigned to write the Qur’anic manuscripts. While writing, when they reached this verse, Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recite this verse: "When any married man or woman commits adultery, then in any case, stone them." Upon this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when this verse was revealed, I was present before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and requested that this verse be written for me (but the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, did not consider it appropriate). Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) further said that in the words of this verse, see the word "Shaikh"; if any Shaikh (elderly man) is not married, then he is to be flogged, and if any young man, after being married, commits adultery, then he is to be stoned.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that a wolf snatched away a goat, but the people rescued it and slaughtered it with a sharp stone. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted them to eat it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After eating something cooked on fire, perform fresh ablution.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for the Battle of Uhud, some people from the army turned back on the way. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) became divided into two groups regarding them: one group was of the opinion that they should be killed, and the second group said no. Upon this, the following verse was revealed: "What is the matter with you that you have become two groups concerning the hypocrites?" And the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Medina is pure; it expels filth just as fire removes the impurities of silver."
