It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Whoever loves Allah and His Messenger should love Usama. After this command, it is not permissible for anyone to bear enmity towards Usama (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) fell on the door frame and got a wound on his forehead. (And in another narration, it is mentioned that blood started to flow.) So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Clean the blood from his forehead. But I felt some aversion, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself started to suck the wound and kept spitting it out, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) were a girl, I would have dressed him in fine clothes and jewelry and made him so beautiful that people would desire to marry him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and an Ansari man (Abbad bin Bishr, may Allah be pleased with him) sat with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) late into the night, talking, until a portion of the night had passed, and the night was very dark. When they got up from the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and set out to return, each of them had a staff. One of their staffs became illuminated, and they walked by its light. When they went further and their paths separated, the other’s staff also became illuminated, and thus both of them reached their homes by the light of their respective staffs.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Usaid bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna ‘Abbad bin Bishr (may Allah be pleased with him) were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a very dark night. When they got up and left from him, the staff of one of them became illuminated, and they walked in its light. When they went further and their paths separated, the staff of the other also became illuminated. The narrator Hammad said: When their paths separated, his staff was illuminated and the other’s also became illuminated.

Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man recited Surah Al-Kahf. The house in which he was reciting also had his mount tied in it. The mount began to get restless. He saw that a cloud was overshadowing him. When this was mentioned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: O so-and-so! If you had continued reciting, it was tranquility that was descending for the Qur’an.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), she used to say that Sayyiduna Usaid bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) was among the most excellent people. He used to say that on three occasions, the state I experience—if I remain in that state, then surely I will be among the people of Paradise: (1) When I am reciting the Qur'an myself or listening to it from someone else, (2) when I am listening to the sermon of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and (3) when I participate in a funeral, all my attention is focused on what is going to happen to that person and what his end will be.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that when we returned from Hajj or Umrah, the people of Madinah came to welcome us at Dhul-Hulaifah. The boys of the Ansar also came to meet their family members. When they met Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him), they informed him of the death of his wife. He covered his face with a cloth and began to weep. Umm al-Mu'mineen (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I said to him, "May Allah forgive you! You are a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and you have many virtues. Why are you weeping so much over the death of your wife?" He removed the cloth from his head and said, "You have spoken the truth. Indeed, the truth is that after Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), I should not weep for anyone. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said much about him." Sayyidah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I asked him, "What did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say about Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him)?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the Throne of Allah shook at the death of Sa'd bin Mu'adh." Sayyidah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: While narrating this, Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) was walking between me and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: Tell me about any person who never performed prayer at all and yet entered Paradise. The people could not answer. Then he himself asked: Who is he? He replied: He is a man from Banu Abd al-Ashhal, named Asayrim, whose name is Amr bin Thabit bin Waqsh. The narrator of the hadith, Al-Husayn, says: I asked Mahmood bin Labeed, may Allah be pleased with him, about the incident of Asayrim. He explained: He used to object to and oppose his people for accepting Islam. On the day of the Battle of Uhud, when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, set out for the battle, the thought of accepting Islam came to him and he became Muslim. He picked up his sword and set out. He went to the Muslims, entered the ranks of the disbelievers, and fought with such intensity that he fell down exhausted and wounded. The people of Banu Abd al-Ashhal were searching among the slain for their family members, and he appeared before them. They said: By Allah! This is Asayrim. He did not come with us. We left him in a state where he was a denier and opponent of Islam. They asked him: Amr! How did you come here? Was it with the intention of fighting against your people or out of desire for Islam? He replied: Not out of tribalism, but out of desire for Islam, I believed in Allah and His Messenger and became Muslim. I took my sword and went with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, fought the enemies, and this is what happened to me. Sayyiduna Mahmood bin Labeed, may Allah be pleased with him, stated that shortly after saying these words, he passed away in their hands and met Allah. When the people mentioned him to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he said: He is among the people of Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) visited Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her). She presented dates and ghee to him, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was fasting that day, so he said: "Put the dates back in their pouch and the ghee back in its container." After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood in a corner of the house and performed two rak‘ahs, and we also prayed with him. Then he supplicated for blessings for Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) and her family. Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have a special request." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is it?" She said: "This is your servant, Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); please make a special supplication for him." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for every good of this world and the Hereafter for me and said: "O Allah! Grant him abundant wealth and children, and bless him in them." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that among all the Ansar, no one had more wealth than him, while previously he only had a ring, and his eldest daughter Amina reported that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) had, with his own hands, buried about one hundred and twenty-five or twenty-six of his children before the coming of Hajjaj bin Yusuf.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) that she submitted: O Messenger of Allah! This Anas is your servant, please supplicate to Allah for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated thus: O Allah! Increase him in wealth and children, and bless him in whatever You grant him. The narrator of the hadith, Hajjaj, mentioned in his narration that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) informed that some of his children told him that more than one hundred people from his children and grandchildren had been buried.
