Al-Akhnas bin Khalifah al-Dabbi states that Ka'b al-Ahbar saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) giving legal rulings to the people and asked: Who is this? The people told him: This is Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As. So Ka'b sent one of his companions to him and said: Go and tell him: O Abdullah bin Amr! Do not invent a lie against Allah, or He will destroy you with a punishment, for "he who invents (a lie) has certainly failed" [Surah Ta-Ha: 61] . The man came to him and said the same thing, and Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Ka'b has spoken the truth; he who invents a lie has indeed failed. And he did not become angry at all (on hearing this). Then Ka'b sent the same man to him again and said: Ask him what the Gathering (al-Hashr) is, where the souls of the Muslims gather, and where the souls of the idolaters gather. The man came and asked him, and Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: As for the souls of the Muslims, they gather at Ariha (Jericho); the souls of the idolaters gather at San'a; and as for the beginning of the Gathering, it is a fire that will drive the people along; they will see it at night and will not see it by day. Ka'b's messenger went back and informed him, and Ka'b said: He has spoken the truth. He is a great scholar, so ask him your questions.

Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) states that the lineage of Asma' bin Harithah bin Sa'id bin Abdullah bin Ghiyath goes back to Banu Harithah bin Malik bin Afsa.

Sayyiduna Asma' bin Harithah al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) states: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Ashura, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Asma'! Have you fasted today?" I said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then fast." I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have already eaten my midday meal. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fast for what remains of the day, and order your people to fast as well." Asma' (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I took my sandals in my hand and set off quickly until I reached my people, and I said: The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) orders you to fast. They said: We have already eaten. I said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) has ordered you to fast for the rest of your day.

Ibrahim bin al-Mundhir al-Hizami states that Sayyiduna Asma' bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the year 66 AH, at the age of 80.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) states: Because of their long presence at the door of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and their constant service to him (peace and blessings be upon him), I used to think that Asma' and Hind, the sons of Harithah, were nothing but servants of his (peace and blessings be upon him). And both of them were very needy (poor).

Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) states that Sayyiduna Hind bin Harithah al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at al-Hudaybiyah, and he died in Madinah during the caliphate of the Commander of the Believers Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). According to one view, they were eight brothers, all of whom were honoured with the companionship of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and took part in the Pledge of Ridwan. Their names are: Asma', Hind, Khidash, Dhu'ayb, Humran, Fadalah, Salamah and Malik, the sons of Harithah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a man from the tribe of Aslam on the day of Ashura with this message: "Whoever has eaten and drunk should complete his fast (for the rest of the day, that is, not eat anything more now), and whoever has not yet eaten anything should fast for the remainder of the day."

Yahya bin Hind narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Hind bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him (to make an announcement) on the day of Ashura and said: "Order your people to fast this day." He said: O Messenger of Allah! If I find that they have already eaten, (what is the ruling)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then let them complete the rest of their day (like one who is fasting)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) states that the kunyah of Sayyiduna Sulayman bin Surad bin al-Jawn al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Mutarrif. He accepted Islam and was honoured with the companionship of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). His name was formerly Yasar, but when he accepted Islam, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) named him Sulayman. He was very aged and a man of honour among his people. When the Muslims settled in Kufah, he also settled there. He took part in the Battle of Siffin alongside the Commander of the Believers Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he set out with an army of four thousand to avenge the blood of Sayyiduna al-Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both). Sulayman bin Surad was martyred in that battle, and his head was carried to Marwan bin al-Hakam. At the time of his martyrdom he was 93 years old.

Imam Muhammad bin Isma'il al-Bukhari states that al-Mukhtar bin Abi Ubayd killed Sulayman bin Surad at a time when Sulayman had already killed Ubaydullah bin Ziyad.
