It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: O Allah! I seek refuge in You from helplessness, laziness, old age, cowardice, miserliness, and the torment of the grave. O Allah, grant my soul piety and purify it, for You are the best to purify it and You are its Master and Protector. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from a heart devoid of humility, an insatiable soul, unbeneficial knowledge, and a supplication that is not accepted.

حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا لِزَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ : حَدِّثْنَا ، قَالَ : كَبُرْنَا وَنَسِينَا ، وَالْحَدِيثُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَدِيدٌ .
Ibn Abi Layla says that when we would go to Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) and request him to narrate a hadith, he would say that we have grown old and have forgotten, and narrating a hadith from the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a very difficult task.
Hadith 19325
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ ، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ : نَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَادٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : وَادِي خُمٍّ ، فَأَمَرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ ، فَصَلَّاهَا بِهَجِيرٍ ، قَالَ فَخَطَبَنَا ، وَظُلِّلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَوْبٍ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ سَمُرَةٍ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَوَ لَسْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ؟ قَالُوا : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ ، فَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا مَوْلَاهُ ، اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ ، وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We camped at the place of "Ghadir Khumm." After a while, the call of "As-Salatu Jami'ah" was made. A place was prepared for the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) under two trees. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Zuhr prayer, and holding the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he said twice: "Do you not know that I have more right over the believers than their own selves?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "Why not!" Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pressed the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Whoever I am a beloved to, Ali should also be a beloved to him. O Allah, O Allah! Love the one who loves Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and be the enemy of the one who is hostile to him."
Hadith 19326
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمِنْهَالِ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ، وَزَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ هَذَا ، فَقَالَ : ائْتِ فُلَانًا ، فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَأَعْلَمُ ، وَسَأَلْتُ الْآخَرَ ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَا : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَرِقِ بِالذَّهَبِ دَيْنًا .
Abu Minhal (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) about the exchange of currency. They said: Ask him, he knows better and is more knowledgeable than me. And he said: Ask him, he knows better and is more knowledgeable than me. In any case, both of them said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the deferred sale and purchase of silver in exchange for gold.
Hadith 19327
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْعَتُ الزَّيْتَ وَالْوَرْسَ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ . قَالَ قَتَادَةُ : يَلُدُّهُ مِنْ جَانِبِهِ الَّذِي يَشْتَكِيهِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed the people to use Indian aloe wood and olive in the illness of pleurisy.

Maimun says that once I was sitting with Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came from the end of the tent and asked him about an illness. During the conversation, he said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do I not have more right over the Muslims than their own selves?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "Why not!" Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Whoever I am beloved to, Ali should also be beloved to him." Maimun, through another chain of narration, also reports this addition: "O Allah! Love the one who loves Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and be hostile to the one who is hostile to him."
Hadith 19329
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَجْلَحَ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِالْيَمَنِ ، فَأُتِيَ بِامْرَأَةٍ وَطِئَهَا ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ ، فَسَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ : أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ ؟ فَلَمْ يُقِرَّا ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ : أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ ؟ فَلَمْ يُقِرَّا ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ ، حَتَّى فَرَغَ يَسْأَلُ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ ، فَلَمْ يُقِرُّوا ، ثُمَّ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَأَلْزَمَ الْوَلَدَ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَيْ الدِّيَةِ ، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Yemen, a woman was brought to him with whom three men had committed adultery in the same period of purity. He asked two of the men, "Do you acknowledge the child for this person?" They did not acknowledge. In this way, he kept questioning each one together with the other until this stage was completed, and none of them acknowledged the child. Then he cast lots among them, and the one whose name came out, the child was attributed to him, and two-thirds of the blood money was fixed upon him. When this matter was presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled so much that his blessed teeth became visible.
Hadith 19330
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ ، وَالْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ، يَقُولَانِ : سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي الصَّرْفِ : " إِذَا كَانَ يَدًا بِيَدٍ ، فَلَا بَأْسَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ دَيْنًا ، فَلَا يَصْلُحُ " .
Abu Al-Minhāl says that I asked Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) and Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) about the exchange of currency. Both of them said that during the blessed era of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to trade. Once, we also asked him this same question, and he said: If the transaction is in cash, then there is no harm, but if it is on credit, then it is not correct.
Hadith 19331

Hadith 19332
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحُشُوشَ مُحْتَضَرَةٌ ، فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ الْخَلَاءَ ، فَلْيَقُلْ : أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ " .

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that I participated in a battle with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) along with my uncle. (The chief of the hypocrites) Abdullah bin Ubayy said, "If we return to Madinah, the more honorable will surely expel the more humble from there." I came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of what he had said. Abdullah bin Ubayy swore that he had not said any such thing. My uncle began to reproach me and said, "What was your purpose in this?" I returned from there, saddened, and lay down to sleep. Shortly after, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for me through a messenger. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah Almighty has revealed your excuse and proven your truthfulness," and this verse was revealed: "They say, 'Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah... If we return to Madinah, the more honorable will surely expel the more humble from there.'"

I came to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of what he had said. Abdullah bin Ubayy swore that he had not said any such thing.

Abu Hamza says that once the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Every prophet has followers; we are your followers. Please supplicate to Allah that our followers be included among us."

Abdullah bin Buraidah narrates that Ubaidullah bin Ziyad had some doubts regarding the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar. He summoned Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) and inquired about it. He narrated to him an excellent hadith regarding this, upon hearing which he (Ubaidullah) became pleased and asked, "Did you hear this hadith directly from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "No, rather my brother narrated it to me."

A man presented a portion of hunted game as a gift to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), but the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not accept it and said, 'We cannot eat it because we are in the state of Ihram.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Yemen, a woman was brought to him with whom three men had committed adultery during the same period of purity. He asked two of the men, "Do you acknowledge the child for this person?" They did not acknowledge. In the same way, he kept questioning each one together with the other until he completed this process, and none of them acknowledged the child. Then he cast lots among them, and the one whose name was drawn, the child was attributed to him, and two-thirds of the blood money was imposed upon him. This issue was presented before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I also know the same solution that Ali has given."
