Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: A physiognomist (from the tribe of Mudlij) came to me while the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was also present, and Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid and Sayyiduna Zaid bin Haritha (may Allah be pleased with them both) (the father and son) were lying under a single sheet (their faces and bodies were covered except for their feet). The physiognomist said,“These feet are from one another (i.e., they are related).”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was very pleased with this and liked it, and then he related this incident to Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prepared an army and appointed Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) as its commander (who was young and of tender age). Some people criticized the leadership of Usama (may Allah be pleased with him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(O people!) If you are criticizing the leadership of Usama, then you had also criticized the leadership of his father before him. By Allah! Indeed, he (Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him) was worthy of leadership and was among those most beloved to me, and after him, this one (Usama, may Allah be pleased with him) is also among the most beloved of people to me."

Narrated from Ummul Momineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that when a woman from the tribe of Makhzum committed theft, people said, "Who will intercede with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on her behalf (so that she may not be punished)?" No one had the courage to mention this to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so Syedna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, among the Children of Israel, when a noble (influential) person committed theft, they would let him go, but if a poor person committed theft, they would cut off his hand. If (in place of this woman) my own daughter Fatimah al-Zahra had committed theft, I would have cut off her hand as well."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would pick him and Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) up and say: "O Allah! Love both of them, indeed I also love them."

Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Is there not in your city, or among your people, the person who was aware of such secrets of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that no one else knew except him? That is, Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him)." He said: "Yes, there is." Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Is there not in your city, or among your people, the person whom Allah has granted protection from the evil of Satan through the tongue of His Prophet? That is, Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him)." He said: "He is also there." Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Is there not in your city, or among your people, the person who used to keep the miswak of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), or the pillow (or was aware of secrets, that is, Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with them both)?" He said: "Yes, there is." Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "How did Abdullah recite this Surah: (By the night as it envelops. And by the day as it appears in brightness)?" How further? I said: "(And by the male and the female)." He said: "The people here (in Sham) are also strange; they kept insisting with me, trying to make me err, by telling me differently from what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Every nation had a trustworthy person (who excelled in trustworthiness and honesty), and the trustworthy one of this nation is Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah."
