It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards Yemen and said: O Allah! Turn their hearts (towards us). Then he turned towards another direction and said: O Allah! Turn their hearts (towards us) and grant blessing in our Sa’ and our Mudd.

Ibn Daylami (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I went to meet Hazrat Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "O Abu'l-Mundhir! Some doubts about predestination have arisen in my heart. Please narrate to me a hadith by the blessing of which these doubts may be removed from my heart." He replied, "If Allah were to punish all the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, even then He would not be unjust to them. And if He were to have mercy on them, His mercy would be greater than their deeds. And if you were to spend gold equal to Mount Uhud in the way of Allah, Allah would not accept it from you until you have complete faith in predestination, and until you are certain that whatever has come to you could not have missed you, and whatever has missed you could not have come to you. If you die holding any belief other than this, you will enter Hell."

Qabeesah bin Dhu’ayb says that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) informed the family of Zubair that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had performed two rak’ahs (as nafl) at their place after the Asr prayer, so they also began to perform these two rak’ahs. When Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) found out, he said,“May Allah forgive Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). We know more about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). The actual matter is that once some Bedouins came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at noon and sat down to ask questions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept answering them, then performed the Zuhr prayer and did not perform the two sunnah afterwards, and continued explaining issues to them until the time for Asr prayer arrived. After performing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went home. At that time, he remembered that he had not yet performed the sunnah after Zuhr, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed those two rak’ahs after Asr. May Allah forgive Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). We know more about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has prohibited nafl prayers after the Asr prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we ate sahur with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), then we went out towards the mosque and the prayer was established. The narrator asked, "What was the interval between the two?" He replied, "As long as it takes a man to recite fifty verses."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, the speakers of the Ansar stood up. Among them, someone was saying, "O group of Muhajireen! Whenever the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed any one of you to a task or position, he would also include one man from among us. Therefore, our opinion is that there should be two leaders for this government: one from among you and one from among us." And the speakers of the Ansar kept repeating this matter. Upon this, Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was from among the Muhajireen, therefore the ruler will also be from among the Muhajireen. We will be his helpers, just as we were the helpers of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "O group of Ansar! May Allah reward you with goodness on behalf of this tribe and keep your spokesman steadfast." Then he said, "By Allah! If you had chosen any other way besides this, we would not have agreed with you."

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) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, I was presented to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased to see me. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! This boy from Banu Najjar has memorized several surahs of the Qur'an that have been revealed to you." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was surprised and said, "Zaid! Learn the script of the Jews, for by Allah, I do not trust the Jews regarding my letters." So I began to learn their writing, and not even fifteen days had passed before I had mastered it. I used to read their letters to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would reply, I would write it.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
