It is narrated from Azhar bin Abdullah that he said: Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) came from al-Sham intending Hajj and performed Hajj, then he came to Madinah and went to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) with a complaint; and then the narrator mentioned the full hadith. Chapter on the virtues of Sayyiduna Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Ibn Ishaq: The first of the Muhajirun to come to Madinah was Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the first to come (in emigration) after Abu Salamah was Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him), the ally of Banu Adi bin Ka'b, and with him was his wife Layla bint Abi Hathmah bin Amir bin Abdullah bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with them).

Muhammad bin Umar states that Amir bin Rabi'ah bin Malik bin Amir bin Rabi'ah bin Hujr bin Salaman (is his lineage), and the narrator mentioned his lineage up to Ma'add bin Adnan. He was an ally of al-Khattab bin Nufayl, and when Amir bin Rabi'ah became his ally, al-Khattab adopted him as his son, because of which he used to be called Amir bin al-Khattab, until Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Call them (the adopted sons) by (the names of) their (real) fathers" [Surah al-Ahzab: 5] . Then he was attributed to his real father and returned to his original lineage.

Yazid bin Ruman states that Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) was among the early Muslims; he accepted Islam even before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the House of al-Arqam and began calling (people to Islam) there. Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) made both emigrations to Abyssinia, and with him was his wife Layla bint Abi Hathmah al-Adawiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), the sister of Sulayman bin Abi Hathmah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established brotherhood (mu'akhat) between Amir bin Rabi'ah and Yazid bin al-Mundhir bin Sarh al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with them both). The kunyah of Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Abdullah. He took part in the battles of Badr, Uhud, al-Khandaq and all the battles alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He died after the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He had confined himself to his house, and people only came to know of his death when his funeral was brought out.

Yahya bin Sa'id al-Ansari narrates from Abdullah bin Amir bin Rabi'ah that he said: When people began to criticise and revile Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), my father got up during the night, prayed, and made this supplication: 'Allahumma qini min al-fitnati bima waqayta bihi al-salihina min 'ibadik' (O Allah, protect me from this trial just as You have protected Your righteous servants). Then he did not go out of the house until his funeral was brought out.

Sa'id bin Ufayr states that Amir bin Rabi'ah al-Adawi (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the year 32 AH.

Urwah states that among those who emigrated to Abyssinia the first time, before Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions, was Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) from Banu Adi bin Ka'b, who was from the people of Yemen. He also took part in the Battle of Badr.

Amir bin Abdullah bin al-Zubayr narrates from his father, who narrates from Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: The Battle of Badr took place (in the second year of the Hijrah) on the morning of the 16th of Ramadan. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated two hadiths from Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him), one of which the two Shaykhs agreed upon: "When you see a funeral, stand up for it."

Salim narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)), who narrates from Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a funeral passed by, and a man from the Jews asked: "O Muhammad! Does this funeral (the deceased) speak?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. The Jew said: "I bear witness that it speaks." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the People of the Book tell you something, then (neither affirm nor deny it, but) say: We believe in Allah, His angels, His Books and His Messengers." This hadith is known through al-Harith bin Ubaydah al-Ruhawi from al-Zuhri, and we have written it at the end of the manuscript of Yunus bin Yazid from al-Zuhri:

Yunus bin Yazid narrates from al-Zuhri that he said: Salim stated that when the funeral of Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) was placed down, Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said (something), and then the narrator mentioned the full hadith.
