It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out one morning and said: "The Fire has been kindled for the people of the Fire, and trials have arrived like pieces of the dark night. If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Umm Maktum (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! I am an old, blind man, my house is far away, and I have no guide who suits me; between me and the mosque there are also trees and streams. Is there any concession for me to pray in my house? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you hear the call (adhan)?" I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then come to it (the mosque)." Imam al-Hakim says: To my knowledge, no one narrated this with the chain "from Asim, from Zirr (bin Hubaysh)" except Ibrahim bin Tahman, whereas Za'idah, Shayban al-Nahwi, Hammad bin Salamah, Abu Awanah and others narrated it from Asim, from Abu Razin, from Ibn Umm Maktum.

Za'idah narrated the previous report from Asim, from Abu Razin, from Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him).

Shayban narrated the previous hadith from Asim, from Abu Razin, from Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him).

Hammad bin Salamah and Abu Awanah narrated (the previous report from Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum, may Allah be pleased with him) from Asim, from Abu Razin.

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that al-Hadrami, the father of al-Ala', was actually named Abdullah bin Abbad bin Akbar bin Rabi'ah bin Malik bin Uraym bin Malik bin al-Khazraj bin Iyad bin al-Sadif. He belonged to Hadramawt (of Kindah), and he died in the year 21 AH while returning from Bahrain.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Ala' bin al-Hadrami (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me (as an official) to mixed people, some of whom were Muslims and some polytheists, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that I collect the tithe ('ushr, one tenth) from the Muslim and the jizyah from the polytheist.

The son of al-Ala' bin al-Hadrami narrates from his father that he wrote a letter to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and (as a matter of etiquette, at the start of the letter) wrote his own name first.

It is narrated from Ibn Ishaq that Abdullah bin Jahsh bin Ri'ab bin Ya'mar bin Sabirah bin Kabir bin Ghanm bin Dudan bin Asad bin Khuzaymah (is his lineage), and his mother Umaymah bint Abd al-Muttalib was the paternal aunt of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in the Battle of Badr with the Muslims, and he was an ally of Banu Umayyah bin Abd Shams.
