Abdullah bin Abi Sufyan bin al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib said: A man was owed dates by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) to demand his due, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) borrowed dates from Sayyidah Khawlah bint Hakim (may Allah be pleased with her) and gave them to him, and said: "I did have my own dates, but they were ones watered only by rain (growing wild)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is how the believing servants of Allah act. Indeed, Allah does not show mercy to a people among whom the weak cannot obtain his right without faltering and fear."

Muhammad bin Iyad al-Zuhri said: In my childhood I was presented to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time there was a cloth on my body which slipped away, and my private parts became exposed. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Cover the sanctity of his private parts, for the sanctity of a small child's private parts is the same as the sanctity of an adult's private parts, and Allah does not look (with mercy) at one who exposes his private parts."

It is narrated from Urwah, concerning those from Banu Zuhrah bin Kilab who emigrated to Abyssinia with Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him): among them are Utbah bin Mas'ud and his brother Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Awn bin Abdullah bin Utbah bin Mas'ud narrates from his father (Abdullah bin Utbah) that when Utbah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) died, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep. It was said to him: "Are you weeping?" He said: "He was my brother and my companion in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was the third (among the brothers), and he was the most beloved of all people to me except for Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)."

It is narrated from al-Qasim that when Utbah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) died, Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) waited for Umm Abd (the mother of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud); then she came and offered his funeral prayer.

Imam al-Zuhri said: In our view, Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was not of higher merit than his brother Utbah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), but Utbah died early (in his youth).

Abdullah bin Utbah bin Mas'ud narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood to lead the morning prayer and stretched out his hand in front of him. When the prayer was completed, a man asked about it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Satan came, so I rebuked him and drove him away. Had I seized him, I would have tied him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that the children of Madinah would walk around him."

Yahya bin Bukayr said: Utbah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the year 44 AH, and only one hadith is narrated from him.

Awn bin Abdullah bin Utbah narrates through his father from his grandfather (Utbah bin Mas'ud) that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a black slave-girl and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I am obliged to free a believing neck (slave), so will this one suffice on my behalf?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the slave-girl: "Who is your Lord?" She said: "My Lord is Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is your religion?" She said: "Islam." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who am I?" She said: "You are the Messenger of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you pray the five prayers and affirm what I have brought from Allah?" She said: "Yes." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) patted her on the back and said: "Free her." Abdullah bin Utbah bin Mas'ud lived in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and heard (hadith) from him (peace and blessings be upon him).

Hamzah bin Abdullah bin Utbah said: I asked my father, Abdullah bin Utbah bin Mas'ud: "What do you remember of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said: "I remember that he (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of me when I was five or six years old, then sat me in his lap, passed his hand over my head, and prayed for blessing for me and for my descendants."
