It is narrated from Ibn Shihab, in the listing of the names of those martyrs of the Ansar who were martyred in the Battle of Uhud, that from Banu al-Harith bin al-Khazraj, Sayyiduna Sa'd bin al-Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with him) was also included.

It is narrated from Umm Sa'd bint Sa'd bin al-Rabi' that she came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), and he spread out his cloak for her until she sat on it. Then Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him and asked: O Khalifah of the Messenger! Who is this? He said: "This is the daughter of a man who was better than me and you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Apart from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who is it that is better than me and you?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "A man who died (as a martyr) in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and took up his place in Paradise, while you and I remained behind (to be tested)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. (After this) is the mention of Sayyiduna Sa'd al-Qaraz, the mu'adhdhin (may Allah be pleased with him).

Abd al-Rahman bin Ammar bin Sa'd al-Qaraz (who was the mu'adhdhin of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, that: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to put his fingers in his ears (when giving the adhan), and said: "It makes your voice louder." And the phrases of the adhan of Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) were said twice each, and the phrases of the iqamah once each, while the words 'Qad qamatis-salah' (the prayer has been established) were said only once. And he used to give the adhan on Friday before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when the shadow was equal to a sandal strap (that is, right after the sun passed its zenith). And when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out for the two Eids, he would pass by the way of the house of Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), then pass by the people of the tents, then begin with the prayer before the sermon. Then in the first rak'ah he would say the takbir seven times before the recitation, and in the second rak'ah five times before the recitation. Then he would deliver the sermon to the people, then return by the other route, that is, the route of Banu Zurayq, and at the edge of the lane he would slaughter his sacrificial animal with his own hand with a knife. Then he would go towards the houses of Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them both) at the place called al-Balat. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would go to the two Eids on foot and return on foot. He would say the takbir in the pauses during the sermon, and would say the takbir abundantly in the sermon of the two Eids. When he delivered a sermon on the occasion of war, he would deliver it leaning on a bow, and when he delivered the Friday sermon, he would deliver it leaning on a staff. And when Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) said the takbir in the adhan, he would face the qiblah; then he would remain facing the qiblah while saying twice 'Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar' (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest), twice 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah' (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah), and twice 'Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah' (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah). Then he would turn from the qiblah to the right side and say twice 'Hayya 'ala al-salah' (Come to the prayer), then turn from the qiblah to the left side and say twice 'Hayya 'ala al-falah' (Come to success), then face the qiblah and say: 'Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illallah' (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah).

It is narrated from Hafs bin Umar bin Sa'd al-Qaraz that his father and paternal uncles told him that: Sayyiduna Sa'd al-Qaraz (may Allah be pleased with him) was the mu'adhdhin of the people of Quba', then Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) moved him from there and appointed him as mu'adhdhin (in Madinah). (After this) is the honourable mention of Sayyiduna Junadah bin Abi Umayyah al-Azdi (may Allah be pleased with him).

Ahmad bin Ya'qub al-Thaqafi informed us; he said: Musa bin Zakariyya narrated to us; he said: Khalifah bin Khayyat told us that: Junadah bin Abi Umayyah bin Zahran bin Ka'b bin al-Harith bin Ka'b bin Abdullah bin Malik bin Nasr al-Azdi died in the year 80 AH.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Junadah bin Abi Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a few people of the tribe of Azd on a Friday, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) invited us to the food that was before him. We said: We are fasting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you fast yesterday?" We said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Will you fast tomorrow?" We said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then break your fast." Then he said: "Do not fast the day of Friday on its own." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. (After this) is the honourable mention of Sayyiduna Sawad bin Qarib al-Azdi (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ka'b al-Qurazi that he said: Once Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting in the mosque when a man passed by in the rear part of the mosque. A man said: O Commander of the Believers! Do you know this passer-by? He said: No, who is he? He said: This is Sawad bin Qarib. He belongs to an honoured and high-ranking family of the people of Yemen, and he is the very man to whom his "ra'i" (a familiar jinn who brought him news) conveyed the news of the appearance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Call him to me. So he was called, and he asked: Are you Sawad bin Qarib? He said: Yes. He asked: Are you the one to whom your familiar jinn conveyed the news of the sending of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes. He asked: Are you still upon that old soothsaying (kahanah) of yours? At this he became extremely angry and said: O Commander of the Believers! No one has spoken to me like this since I accepted Islam. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Subhan Allah! By Allah, the polytheism we were upon was far graver than your soothsaying. (Well, let go of your anger and) tell me how your jinn conveyed to you the news of the appearance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes, O Commander of the Believers (listen!). One night I was in a state between sleep and wakefulness when that familiar jinn of mine came to me, kicked me with his foot and said: O Sawad bin Qarib! Get up and understand, if you have understanding. Indeed, a Messenger of Allah has been sent from the descendants of Lu'ayy bin Ghalib (Quraysh), who calls to Allah and to His worship. Then that jinn recited these verses: "I marvelled at the jinn and their searching, and at why they have tied the saddles on their camels; they are hastening towards Makkah seeking guidance, for the best of the jinn are not like their impure ones. So you too set out towards the chosen one of Hashim, and witness his greatness with your own eyes." Sawad says: I paid no attention to what he said, and said: Let me sleep, for I am tired. When the second night came, he came again, kicked me with his foot and said: O Sawad bin Qarib! Did I not tell you to get up and understand, if you have sense? A Messenger has been sent from the descendants of Lu'ayy bin Ghalib, who calls to Allah and to His worship. Then that jinn recited these verses: "I marvelled at the jinn and their seeking, and at why they have tied the pack-saddles on their camels; they are hastening towards Makkah seeking guidance, for the truthful among the jinn are not like their liars. So you too set out towards the chosen one of Hashim, who is (present) among their private quarters and their gatekeepers." Sawad says: This time too I paid no attention. When the third night came, he came again, kicked me and said: O Sawad bin Qarib! Did I not tell you to understand and use your reason, if you have sense? A Messenger of Allah has been sent from the descendants of Lu'ayy bin Ghalib, who calls to Allah and to His worship. Then that jinn recited these verses: "I marvelled at the jinn and their reports, and at why they have made ready the saddles on their camels; they are hastening towards Makkah seeking guidance, for the believers among the jinn are not like their disbelievers. So set out towards the chosen one of Hashim, every side of whom (outer and inner) is equally majestic." Sawad says: (On hearing this) love of Islam and longing for it arose in my heart. When morning came, I made my mount ready and set off towards Makkah. On the way I received the news that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had migrated to Madinah. So I came to Madinah and asked about him (peace and blessings be upon him), and I was told that he was in the mosque. I reached the mosque, tied my she-camel and went in, and saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was seated and the people were gathered around him. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Please listen to what I have to say. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Come close to him. So I kept drawing closer until I came in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me! What news did your familiar jinn give you when he came to you?" I said: (O Messenger of Allah!) In the darkness of the night and the calm of sleep my confidant came to me, and in my experience he has never been a liar in what he said. For three nights in a row he told me the same thing: that a Messenger has come to you from the descendants of Lu'ayy bin Ghalib. (As soon as I heard this) I tucked up my waist-wrapper, and my swift she-camel set off with me towards you through the sandy tracts and plains. So I bear witness that there is no lord besides Allah, and that you are trustworthy over every report of the unseen. O descendant of honourable and pure forefathers! You are the nearest of all the messengers as a means of approach to Allah. So command us with whatever revelation comes to you, O best of mankind, even if carrying out that command should turn the locks of our hair white (that is, however great the hardship may be). And be my intercessor on that Day when no intercessor other than you will be of any avail to Sawad bin Qarib. (Sawad says:) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions were so delighted at my acceptance of Islam that their joy was evident on their faces. The narrator says: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) at once got up, embraced him and said: I very much wanted to hear this account from your own tongue.

Ahmad bin Ya'qub informed us; he said: Musa bin Zakariyya narrated to us; he said: Khalifah bin Khayyat told us that: Salman bin Amir bin Aws bin Hujr bin Amr bin al-Harith bin Taym bin Dhuhl bin Malik bin Bakr bin Sa'd bin Dabbah settled in Basrah. He had a house next to the Jami' Mosque, and it was there that he died during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman bin Amir al-Dabbi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! My father used to maintain the ties of kinship, honour guests and fulfil covenants." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did he not live to see the era of Islam?" I said: No. He says: When I turned to go back, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call that elder to me." Then he said to me: "Its effect will remain in your children and descendants; they will never be humiliated, never be disgraced, and never be in need." After this is the honourable mention of Sayyiduna Sa'sa'ah bin Najiyah al-Mujashi'i (may Allah be pleased with him).

Ma'mar bin al-Muthanna relates that: Sa'sa'ah bin Najiyah bin Iqal bin Muhammad bin Sufyan bin Mujashi' bin Darim; he is the grandfather of the famous poet al-Farazdaq bin Ghalib, and he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as part of a delegation.
