It is narrated from Khalifah bin Khayyat that: Amr bin Abasah bin Amir bin Khalid bin Ghadirah bin Attab bin Imri' al-Qays; his mother was Ramlah bint Waqi'ah of Banu Haram. He was the maternal half-brother (from the same mother) of Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him), lived in Syria, and his kunyah was Abu Najih.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer facing a camel from the spoils of war. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) ended the prayer with the salam, he took a hair from the side of the camel and said: "Nothing of these spoils is lawful for me, not even the equal of this hair, except the fifth (khumus), and that fifth too is returned to you."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the very beginning of his mission, when he was in hiding in Makkah in those days. I asked: "What are you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am a Prophet." I asked: "What is a Prophet?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Messenger of Allah." I asked: "Has Allah sent you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." I asked: "With what has He sent you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That you worship Allah, break the idols, and maintain the ties of kinship." I said: "How excellent is the message with which you have been sent! Who has followed you in this call?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A free man and a slave", meaning Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with them both). Amr bin Abasah used to say that at that time he saw himself as a quarter of Islam. Then I accepted Islam and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I stay with you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather go back to the land of your people for now, and when I prevail, come to me." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Khalifah bin Khayyat that: Jabir bin Samurah al-Suwa'i; his kunyah was Abu Khalid, and according to another view Abu Abdullah. He died during the governorship of Bishr bin Marwan.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The order and dominance of this Ummah will remain established until twelve caliphs have passed." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said something that was hidden from me (because of the noise). My father was sitting closer to the gathering of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than I was, so I asked him: "What did he (peace and blessings be upon him) say?" He told me that his (peace and blessings be upon him) words were: "All of them will be from Quraysh."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Samurah bin Amr al-Suwa'i (may Allah be pleased with him), that: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "We are people who live far from the towns and raise livestock; should we perform ablution (again) after eating camel meat and drinking its milk?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes (perform ablution)." I said: "Should we also perform ablution after eating the meat of sheep and drinking their milk?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No."

It is narrated from Khalifah bin Khayyat that Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah Wahb al-Suwa'i (may Allah be pleased with him) died during the rule of Bishr bin Marwan.

Awn bin Abi Juhayfah narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him)) that he said: I was with my uncle in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The affair of my Ummah will remain sound and stable until twelve caliphs have passed." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said a word in a lowered voice. I asked my uncle, who was sitting in front of me: "O uncle! What did he (peace and blessings be upon him) say?" He said: "O my son! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'All of them will be from Quraysh.'"

It is narrated from Khalifah bin Khayyat that Uthman bin Abi al-As bin Bishr bin Duhman bin Abdullah bin Hammam bin Aban bin Yasar bin Malik; his kunyah was Abu Abdullah, and he died in the year 50 AH.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded him to build the mosque of Ta'if at the very place where their idol (which they used to worship) had stood. (After this) comes the mention of Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl Amir bin Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him).
