Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 6199

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that Huwaytib bin Abd al-Uzza bin Abi Qays bin Abd Wadd bin Nasr bin Malik bin Hisl al-Amiri was among those who accepted Islam at the Conquest of Makkah. He died in the last part of the governorship of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), at the age of one hundred and twenty. His mother, and the mother of his brother Ruhm bin Abd al-Uzza, was Zaynab bint Alqamah bin Ghazwan bin Yarbu' bin Munqidh bin Amr bin Mu'ays. Huwaytib sold a house in Madinah to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) for forty thousand dinars. When people expressed amazement at this large sum, he said: "What are forty thousand dinars to a man who has four dependents?"
