It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) that some cloaks came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed them among his Companions. My father said to me: "Come with us to him (peace and blessings be upon him), for cloaks have come to him (peace and blessings be upon him)." My father knocked at the door, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recognized his voice and came out holding a cloak in his hand, and began to say: "I kept this hidden away for you, I kept this hidden away for you."

Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah al-Zuhri narrates from his father that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) proclaimed Islam openly, all the people of Makkah accepted Islam. This was before the prayer was made obligatory. So much so that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited a verse of prostration, none of them could find room to prostrate (because of the crowd). Then the chiefs of Quraysh, al-Walid bin al-Mughirah, Abu Jahl bin Hisham and others, came back from their lands in Ta'if and said: "Are you abandoning the religion of your forefathers?" So those people turned back to disbelief. Ya'qub bin Sufyan says: We do not know of any musnad hadith from Makhramah bin Nawfal other than this.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that he said: I heard Abdullah bin Ja'far saying that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the house of Sa'id bin Yarbu' and consoled him on the loss of his sight, and said: "Do not give up the Friday prayer or the congregational prayer in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He replied: "I have no one to lead me (a guide)." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We will send you a guide." So he sent him a slave boy from among the war captives to serve him. The narrator says: Sa'id bin Yarbu' (may Allah be pleased with him) died in Madinah in 54 AH, and at the time of his death he was one hundred and twenty years old.

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that Sa'id bin Yarbu' bin Ankathah al-Makhzumi died in 55 AH, when he was one hundred and eighteen years old.
