It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that her husband Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a calamity befalls any of you, let him say: 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, Allahumma indaka ahtasibu musibati' (We belong to Allah and to Him we return; O Allah, with You I hope for reward for this calamity of mine)." And he mentioned the long hadith. This hadith is recorded in the two Sahihs (Bukhari and Muslim), and I have cited it here because I did not find any other musnad hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) besides this one.

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that Suhayl bin Bayda' is in fact Suhayl bin Wahb bin Rabi'ah bin Hilal bin Uhayb bin Dabbah bin al-Harith bin Fihr bin Malik bin al-Nadr, and "Bayda'" is the title of his mother, whose actual name was Da'd bint Sa'id bin Sahm.

It is narrated from Urwah that among the names of those who made the first emigration to the land of Abyssinia, before the departure of Ja'far bin Abi Talib, is the name of Suhayl bin Bayda'; likewise, among those of Quraysh, and then of Banu al-Harith bin Fihr, who took part in the Battle of Badr, Suhayl bin Bayda' is also mentioned.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the funeral prayer for Suhayl bin Bayda' only in the mosque.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suhayl bin Bayda' (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on his she-camel, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his voice and called two or three times: "O Suhayl bin Bayda'!" and each time Suhayl answered him (peace and blessings be upon him). The people heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and realised that he (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to say something to them, so those ahead stopped and those behind caught up, until, when they had all gathered, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah, Allah has made the Fire forbidden for him and has made Paradise obligatory for him."

It is narrated from Khalifah bin Khayyat that Iyad bin Zuhayr bin Abi Shaddad bin Rabi'ah bin Hilal bin Wuhayb bin Dabbah bin al-Harith bin Fihr al-Fihri took part in the Battle of Badr and died in Sham in the year 30 AH.

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah that Abdullah bin Hudhafah bin Qays bin Adiyy bin Su'ayd bin Sahm bin Amr bin Husays bin Ka'b bin Lu'ayy bin Ghalib bin Fihr bin Malik (is his lineage).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Alqamah bin Mujazziz on an expedition. When we came near our destination, he gave permission to a group of the army (for a separate mission) and appointed Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah bin Qays al-Sahmi (may Allah be pleased with him) as their commander. He was one of the people of Badr and had a playful humour in his temperament; on some of the journeys of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) he would drive his (peace and blessings be upon him) she-camel in such a way as to make him (peace and blessings be upon him) laugh. He is the same person whom the Romans took captive in the time of Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and tried to force into disbelief, but Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, kept him steadfast until Allah granted him deliverance from them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah al-Sahmi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to announce among the people at Mina: "Let no one fast on these days, for they are days of eating and drinking."

It is narrated from Abu Wa'il that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Who is my father? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your father is Hudhafah. The child belongs to the one on whose bed it is born, and for the fornicator is the stone (deprivation)." He said: Had you attributed me to an Abyssinian, I would have followed him too. His mother said to him: You put my honour at risk (by asking such a question). He replied: I only wanted to find peace (from that doubt).
