It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bilal bin al-Harith al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave judgment on the basis of one witness together with the oath (of the claimant).

Khalifah bin Khayyat narrates that the lineage of Safwan bin al-Mu'attal (may Allah be pleased with him) is: Safwan bin al-Mu'attal bin Rahadah bin Khuza'i bin Muharib bin Murrah bin Hilal bin Falij bin Dhakwan bin Tha'labah bin Buhthah bin Sulaym. He had a house in Basrah in the Mirbad quarter, and he died in the region of al-Jazirah near Shimshat, where his grave is.

Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) narrates that the kunyah of Sayyiduna Safwan bin al-Mu'attal (may Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Amr. He accepted Islam before the expedition of al-Muraysi', and took part in it and, after it, in all the expeditions, including the Battle of the Trench, with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He was also with Kurz bin Jabir al-Fihri in the party that pursued the men of Uraynah who had raided the camels of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at Dhu al-Jadr. Sayyiduna Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) died in Shimshat in the year 60 AH.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Safwan bin al-Mu'attal al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Prophet of Allah! I am asking you about a matter that you know and of which I am ignorant." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is it?" He said: "Is there any time among the hours of the night and day in which praying is disliked?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you have prayed the dawn prayer, refrain from prayer until the sun rises, for it rises between the two horns of Satan. Then (after it has risen) pray, for the prayer is accepted, until the sun is straight above your head like a spear. When it is above your head like a spear, leave off prayer, for that is the time when Hell is stoked and its gates are opened, until the sun passes the meridian. When the sun has passed the meridian, the prayer is attended (by the angels) and accepted until you pray Asr. Then refrain from prayer until the sun sets." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Sayyiduna Safwan bin al-Mu'attal (may Allah be pleased with him) attacked Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) and struck him with a sword, and while striking him he recited these verses: "Taste the edge of my sword, for I am a young man who, though no poet, knows how to defend my honour when (slander) is cast upon me; and I take my revenge on the slanderer who accuses the chaste and innocent." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Safwan fled from there, and Hassan came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seeking redress. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him to forgive Safwan's blow, so he gave it up for the sake of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). In return, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a very large orchard of date palms and a Roman slave girl named Sirin. Later, Hassan sold that orchard to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) during his rule for a large sum. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Sayyiduna Safwan bin al-Mu'attal al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We set out intending Hajj, and when we reached al-Arj we saw a snake writhing, which died shortly afterwards. A man among us took a cloth out of his bag, wrapped it in it and buried it in the ground. Then, when we reached Makkah and were in the Sacred Mosque, a person came and stood before us and asked: "Which of you is the companion of Amr bin Jabir?" We said: "We do not know Amr bin Jabir." He asked: "Which of you is the companion of the jinn (the snake)?" The people said (pointing to that man): "This is he." He said: "Know that he was the last to die of the nine (jinn) who came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to listen to the Qur'an."

Sayyiduna Hamzah bin Amr al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the food for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them by turns.
