Kharijah bin Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that some people came to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Tell us some of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He said: "What shall I tell you? I was his (peace and blessings be upon him) neighbour. When revelation came down, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would send for me and I would write down the revelation. When we spoke of the Hereafter, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would speak of it with us; when we spoke of this world, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would speak of it with us; and when we spoke of food and drink, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would speak of it with us. So shall I tell you all of this about him (peace and blessings be upon him)?"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sulayman bin Kharijah except al-Walid bin Abi al-Walid, and al-Layth is alone in narrating it."
