It is narrated from Abu Ubaydah that al-Harith bin al-Barsa' is in fact al-Harith bin Malik bin Qays bin Uwaydh bin Abdullah bin Jabir bin Abd Manaf bin Shij' bin Amir bin Layth. His mother was al-Barsa' bint Abdullah bin Rabi'ah al-Hilaliyyah. He stayed in Makkah and later settled in Kufah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Harith bin Malik bin al-Barsa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the day of the Conquest of Makkah: "After this year, Makkah will never be attacked (in a state of disbelief)." Sufyan said in explaining it that what is meant is upon disbelief (that is, there will never again be a need to fight to prevail over it).

It is narrated from Khalifah bin Khayyat that the kunyah of Malik bin al-Huwayrith bin Hashish bin Awf bin Jundu' is Abu Sulayman, while some people of Banu Layth told me that he is Malik bin al-Huwayrith bin Ashyam bin Zubalah bin Hashish bin Abd Yalil bin Nashib bin Ghiyarah bin Sa'd bin Layth bin Bakr.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Malik bin al-Huwayrith (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him to recite 'yawma'idhin la yu'adhdhabu' (on that Day none will be punished) and 'wa la yuthaqu' (and none will be bound) [Surah al-Fajr: 25-26] with these words.

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that Fadalah bin Wahb bin Urwah bin Bujayr bin Malik bin Qays bin Amir bin Layth, whose mother was the daughter of Kaysan bin Amir al-Utwari, had the kunyah Abu Abdullah, and he moved to Basrah.

Abdullah bin Fadalah al-Laythi narrates from his father that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me (matters of the religion), and among them was that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Guard the five prayers." I said: At these times I have many tasks, so tell me something comprehensive which, if I do it, will suffice for me. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Guard 'al-asrayn', the two Asrs." I asked: What are the two Asrs? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The prayer before sunrise (Fajr) and the prayer before sunset (Asr)."

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah that Mus'ab al-Khayr is the son of Umayr bin Ubayd bin Hashim bin Abd Manaf bin Abd al-Dar bin Qusayy. He is the Qur'an teacher whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent, before his (peace and blessings be upon him) arrival in Madinah, to teach the people of Madinah the Qur'an. Many people accepted faith at his hands, and he also took part in the Battle of Badr.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the first of the Muhajirun to come to us in Madinah was Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him).

Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrates from his father that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in Quba' with a few people when Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him) appeared, wearing a cloak that barely covered his body. The people lowered their heads (on seeing his poverty). He came and gave the greeting of peace, and the people returned his greeting. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke well of him and praised him, and then said: "I saw him in Makkah with his parents, where they kept him in great honour and luxury, and there was no young man of Quraysh like him (in handsomeness and comfort). Then he left all of that and set out solely for the pleasure of Allah and the support of His Messenger. Remember! A time will come upon you when Persia and Rome will be conquered; one of you will wear one garment in the morning and another in the evening, and bowls (of fine food) will be brought before you morning and evening." The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! Will we be better on that day or today? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, you are better today than on those (coming) days; for if you knew of the world what I know, your souls would turn away from it in weariness."

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah that Abu Salamah Abdullah bin Abd al-Asad bin Hilal bin Abdullah bin Umar bin Makhzum bin Yaqazah bin Murrah bin Ka'b bin Lu'ayy bin Ghalib bin Fihr bin Malik is a Qurashi. He was among the emigrants to Abyssinia, then he emigrated to Madinah and took part in Badr. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) was married to him. Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) died in Shawwal of the year 4 AH.
