Ayman son of Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with him), who was martyred on the day of Hunayn: he is Ayman bin Ubayd, of Banu Awf bin al-Khazraj, and the maternal half-brother of Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him)

Muhammad bin Ishaq said: Among the names of those martyred on the Day of Hunayn is this name: Ayman bin Ubayd.

Abu Maysarah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "I saw Ayman fleeing from the fighting", and I sensed displeasure on the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: "I have never seen a remark so far removed from all good." Then, after that, when they faced the fighting, Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I saw Ayman fighting against the enemy with great valour", and this greatly pleased the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Ayman: "I have been told that you do not stand between the two ranks out of cowardice." He said: "I hope that I will stand in a position that Allah and His Messenger love." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are indeed worthy of doing so."

The narrator said: "Sayyiduna Ayman (may Allah be pleased with him) was in charge of the ablution water of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his sandals, and he used to hand him the things he needed."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ayman al-Habashi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The least for which the thief's hand is cut off is the price of a shield." The narrator said: And its value was set at one dinar.

Sayyiduna Ayman al-Habashi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), hands were cut off for stealing the price of a shield."
