Muhammad bin Hatib bin al-Harith bin Mamar bin Habib bin Wahb bin Hudhafah bin Jumah bin Amr bin Husays bin Kab bin Luayy al-Jumahi (may Allah be pleased with him); his mother was Fatimah bint al-Mujallil bin Abdullah bin Abi Qays bin Abd Wudd bin Nasr bin Malik bin Hisl, and she emigrated with him to Abyssinia

Simak bin Harb said: I heard Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I was born in Abyssinia.

Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When my mother brought me from the land of Abyssinia, and this was at the time when Hatib had passed away, she came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and one of my hands had a burn wound from fire. She said: O Messenger of Allah! This is Muhammad bin Hatib, and he has suffered this burn from fire. Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will not tell a lie about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); I do not remember whether he (peace and blessings be upon him) blew or passed his hand over my head, and he supplicated for blessing for me and for my offspring.

Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib al-Jumahi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Something hot from a cooking pot spilled onto my hand, so my mother took me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said some words over it: "'Adhhib al-ba's, Rabb al-nas' (Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind)!" And I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "'Ishfi wa anta al-Shafi' (Heal, for You are the Healer)."

Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The cooking pot fell onto my hand and it was burned, so I was taken to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) would blow on it and say: "'Adhhib al-ba's, Rabb al-nas' (Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind)!" And I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "'Washfi anta al-Shafi' (And heal, You are the Healer)."

Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was a small boy; I went near a cooking pot of ours and my hand got burned. My mother took care of me and brought me to a man in al-Bat-ha and said: O Muhammad! Muhammad's hand has been burned. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to blow on it.

Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went near my mother's cooking pot and it tipped over onto me while I was a small boy. My mother brought me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited a ruqyah over me and said: "'Adhhib al-ba's, Rabb al-nas, washfi anta al-Shafi, la shafiya illa ant' (Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind! And heal, You are the Healer; there is no healer except You)." He said: I did not retain these words, so I asked my mother about them, and she told them to me during the time of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I picked up a cooking pot of ours and my hand got burned. My mother took me to a man in al-Jabbanah and said to him: O Messenger of Allah! He said: "Labbayki wa sa'dayki (At your service and at your pleasure)." Then she brought me close to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) began to blow and to say some words that I did not understand. Later I asked my mother what he had been saying, and she told me that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "'Adhhib al-ba's, Rabb al-nas, washfi anta al-Shafi, la shafiya illa ant' (Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind! And heal, You are the Healer; there is no healer except You)."

Abu Malik al-Ashja'i said: I was sitting with Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) when he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have seen a land of date palms, so go out." So Hatib and Ja'far (bin Abi Talib) set out by sea towards the Negus, and I was born on the ship itself.

Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The distinction between the lawful and the unlawful is the voice and the beating of the daff (tambourine)."

Musa, the son of Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you is deprived of a wife and children, he should take up jihad."
