It is narrated on the authority of Usama b. Zaid that the Messenger of Allah (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) sent us in a raiding party. We raided Huraqat of Juhaina in the morning. I caught hold of a man and he said: There is no god but Allah, I attacked him with a spear. It once occurred to me and I talked about it to the Apostle (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ). The Messenger of Allah (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said: Did he profess" There is no god but Allah," and even then you killed him? I said: Messenger of Allah, he made a profession of it out of the fear of the weapon. He (the Holy Prophet (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)) observed: Did you tear his heart in order to find out whether it had professed or not? And he went on repeating it to me till I wished I had embraced Islam that day. Sa'd said: By Allah, I would never kill any Muslim so long as a person with a heavy belly, i. e., Usama, would not kill. Upon this a person remarked: Did Allah not say this: And fight them until there is no more mischief and religion is wholly for Allah? Sa'd said: We fought so that there should be no mischief, but you and your companions wish to fight so that there should be mischief.

It is narrated on the authority of Usama b. Zaid: The Messenger of Allah may peace be upon him) sent us to Huraqat, a tribe of Juhaina. We attacked that tribe early in the morning and defeated them and I and a man from the Ansar caught hold of a person (of the defeated tribe). When we overcame him, he said: There is no god but Allah. At that moment the Ansari spared him, but I attacked him with my spear and killed him. The news had already reached the Apostle (peace be upon him), so when we came back he (the Apostle (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)) said to me: Usama (RA), did you kill him after he had made the profession: There is no god but Allah? I said. Messenger of Allah, he did it only as a shelter. The Prophet (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) observed: Did you kill him after he had made the profession that there is no god but Allah? He (the Holy Prophet (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)) went on repeating this to me till I wished I had not embraced Islam before that day.

Usama bin Zaid reported: While we were with the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , one of his daughters sent to him (the Messenger) to call him and inform him that her child or her son was dying. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told the messenger to go back and tell her that what Allah had taken belonged to Him, and to him belonged what He granted; and He has an appointed time for everything. So you (the messenger) order her to show endurance and seek reward from Allah. The messenger came back and said: She adjures him to come to her. He got up to go accompanied by Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, Mu'adh bin Jabal, and I also went along with them. The child was lifted to him and his soul was feeling as restless as if it was in an old (water skin). His (Prophet's) eyes welled up with tears. Sa'd said: What is this, Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) He replied: This is compassion which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants, and God shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported: I was sitting behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the riding animal from 'Arafat. As Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reached the left side of the mountain which was situated near Muzdalifa, he made the camel kneel down and made water and then came back. I poured water and he performed light ablution. I then said: Messenger of Allah, it is time for prayer. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The prayer awaits you (at the next station, Muzdalifa). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode on until he came to Muzdalifa and observed prayer. Then al-Fadl (RA) sat behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and reached (Muzdalifa) in the morning. Kuraib said: 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA) narrated from al-Fadl (RA) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued pronouncing Talbiya until he reached al-Jamara (al-'Aqabahh).

Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas (RA) , narrated from Usama bin Zaid (RA) that he had heard him saying: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) proceeded from 'Arafa, and as he approached the creek of a hill, he got down (from his camel) and urinated, and then performed a light ablution. I said to him: Prayer, whereupon he said: The prayer awaits you (at Muzdalifa). So he rode again, and as he came to Muzdalifa, he got down and performed ablution well. Then Iqama was pronounced for prayer, and he observed the sunset prayer. Then every person made his camel kneel down there, and then Iqama was pronounced for 'Isha' prayer and he observed it, and he (the Holy Prophet) did not observe any prayer (either Sunan or Nawafil) in between them (He observed the Fard of sunset and 'Isha' prayers successively.)

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on his way back from 'Arafat got down in one of these creeks (to answer the call of nature), and after he had done that I poured water (over his hands) and said: Are you going to pray? Thereupon he said: The place of prayer is ahead of you.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) narrated: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was on his way back from 'Arafat and as he reached the creek (of a hillock) he got down and urinated (Usama did not say that he poured water), but said: He (the Holy Prophet) called for water and performed ablution, but it was not a thorough one. I said: Messenger of Allah, the prayer! Thereupon he said: Prayer awaits you ahead (at Muzdalifa). He then proceeded, until he reached Muzdalifa and observed sunset and 'Isha' prayers (together) there.

Kuraib reported that he asked Usama bin Zaid (RA) What did you do in the evening of 'Arafa as you rode behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ? He said: We came to a valley where people generally halted their (camels) for the sunset prayer. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) halted his camel and urinated (and he did not say that he had poured water). He then called for water and performed light ablution. I said: Messenger of Allah, the prayer! Thereupon he said: Prayer awaits you (at Muzdalifa), and he rode on until we came to Muzdalifa. Then he offered the sunset prayer and the people halted their camels at their places, and did not untie them until Iqama was pronounced for the 'Isha' prayer and he observed the prayer, and then they untied (their camels). I said: What did you do in the morning? He said: Al-Fadl bin Abbas (RA) sat behind him (the Holy Prophet) in the morning, whereas I proceeded on foot with the Quraish who had gone ahead.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to the valley where the rich (people of Makkah) used to get down, he got down and urinated (and he did not mention about pouring water); he then called for water and performed a light ablution. I said: Messenger of Allah, the prayer. Thereupon he said: Prayer awaits you ahead.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported that he sat behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on his ride as he came back from 'Arafa. And as he came to the valley, he halted his camel, and then went to the wilderness (to urinate). And when he came back, I poured water on him from the jug and he performed ablution, and then rode on until he came to Muzdalifa and there he combined the sunset and 'Isha' prayers.

Hisham (RA) reported from his father: Usama (RA) was asked in my presence or I asked Usama bin Zaid and he rode behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he came back from 'Arafat. I said (to him): How did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) journey as he came back from 'Arafat? Thereupon he said: He made it (his riding camel) walk at a slow speed, and when he found an open space, he made it walk briskly.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) reported that he reached the Ka’bah and Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had entered therein, and Bilal (RA) and Usama too. 'Uthman bin Talha closed the door for them, and they stayed there for a considerable time, and then the door was opened and Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) came out, and I went upstairs and entered the House and said: Where did Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) observe prayer? They said: At this very place. I, however, forgot to ask them about the (number of) rak'ahs that he observed.

Ibn Juraij reported: I said to 'Ata': Have you heard Ibn 'Abbas saying: You have been commanded to observe circumambulation, and not commanded to enter it (the Ka’bah)? He ('Ata') said: He ( Ibn Abbas (RA) ) (at the same time) did not forbid entrance into it. I, however, heard him saying: Usama bin Zaid informed me that when Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) entered the House, he supplicated in all sides of it; and he did not observe prayer therein till he came out, and as he came out he observed two rak'ahs in front of the House, and said: This is your Qibla. I said to him: What is meant by its sides? Does that mean its corners? He said: (In all sides and nooks of the House) there is Qibla.

Usama bin Zaid bin Haritha (RA) said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) : Will you stay in your house at Makkah (which you abandoned at the time of migration)? Thereupon he said: Has 'Aqil left for us any land or house? And 'Aqil and Talib became the Inheritors of Abu Talib's (property), and neither Ja'far nor 'Ali inherited anything from him, for both (Ja'far and 'Ali) were Muslims whereas 'Aqil and Talib were non-Muslims.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) said: Allah's Messenger, where will we stay tomorrow? And it was at the time when we were close to Makkah for hajj). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Has 'Aqil left any accommodation for us?

Usama bin Zaid (RA) said: Allah's Messenger, God willing, where will you stay tomorrow? And it was at the time of the Conquest (of Makkah). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Has 'Aqil left any accommodation for us?

Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (RA) reported that a person came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: I do 'azl with my wife. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Why do you do that? The person said: I fear harm to her child or her children. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If that were harmful it would harm the Persians and the Greeks.

Abu Salih reported: I heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) said: Dinar (gold) for gold and dirham for dirham can be (exchanged) with equal for equal; but he who gives more or demands more in fact deals in interest. I sald to him: Ibn 'Abbas (RA) says otherwise, whereupon he said: I met Ibn 'Abbas (RA) and said: Do you see what you say; have you heard it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , or found it in the Book of Allah, the Glorious and Majestic? He said: I did not hear it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . and I did not find it in the Book of Allah (Glorious and Majestic), but Usama bin Zaid narrated it to me that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: There can be an element of interest in credit.

Ubaidullah bin Abu Yazid heard Ibn 'Abbas (RA) as saying: Usama bin Zaid reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: There can be an element of interest in credit (when the payment is not equal).

Ibn 'Abbas; (RA) reported on the authority of Usama bin Zaid Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as having said this: There is no element of interest when the money or commodity is exchanged hand to hand.

Ata' bin Abu Rabah reported: Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) met Ibn 'Abbas (RA) and said to him: What do you say in regard to the conversion (of commodities or money) did you hear it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , or is it something which you found In Allah's Book, Majestic and Glorious? Thereupon Ibn Abbas (RA) (Allah be pleated with them) said: I don't say that. So far at Allah's Massenger (ﷺ) is concerned, you know him better, and to far as the Book of Allah to concerned, I do not know it (more than you do), but 'Usama bin Zaid (RA) narrated to me Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as having said this: Beware, there can be an element of interest in credit.

Usama bin Zaid reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: A Muslim is not entitled to inherit from a non-Muslim, and a non-Muslim is not entitled to inherit from a Muslim.

It has been narrated on the authority of Usama bin Zaid that the Prophet (ﷺ) rode a donkey. It had on it a saddle under which was a mattress made at Fadak (a place near Madinah). Behind him he seated Usama. He was going to the street of Banu Harith al-Khazraj to inquire after the health of Sa'd bin Ubadah. This happened before the Battle of Badr. (He proceeded) until he passed by a mixed company of people in which were Muslims, polytheists, idol worshippers and the Jews and among them were 'Abdullah bin Ubayy and 'Abdullah bin Rawaha. When the dust raised by the hoofs of the animal spread over the company, 'Abdullah bin Ubayy covered his nose with his mantle and said: Do not scatter the dust over us (Not minding this remark), the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) greeted them, stopped, got down from his animal, invited them to Allah, and recited to them the Qur'an. 'Abdullah bin Ubayy said: O man, if what you say is the truth, the best thing for you would be not to bother us with it in our assemblies. Get back to your place. Whoso comes to you from us, tell him (all) this.'Abdullah bin Rawaha said: Come to us in our gatherings, for we love (to hear) it. The narrator says: (At this), the Muslims, the polytheists and the Jews began to rebuke one another until they were determined to come to blows. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) continued to pacify them. (When they were pacified), he rode his animal and came to Sa'd bin 'Ubida. He said: Sa'd, haven't you heard what Abu Hubab (meaning 'Abdullah bin Ubayy) has said? He has said so and so. Sa'd said: Messenger of Allah, forgive and pardon. God has granted you a sublime position, (but so far as he is concerned) the people of this settlement had-decided to make him their king by making him wear a crown and a turban (in token thereof), but God has circumvented this by the truth He has granted you. This has made him jealous and his jealousy (must have) prompted the behaviour that you have witnessed. So, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) (may peace upon him) forgave him.

'Amir bin Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas reported on the authority of his father that he asked Usama bin Zaid: What have you heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about plague? Thereupon Usama said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Plague is a calamity which was sent to Bani Isra'il or upon those who were before you. So when you hear that it has broken out in a land, don't go to it, and when it has broken out in the land where you are, don't run out of it. In the narration transmitted on the authority of Abu Nadr there is a slight variation of wording.

Usama bin Zaid reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said: Plague is the sign of a calamity with which Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, affects people from His servants. So when you hear about it, don't enter there (where it has broken out), and when it has broken out in a land and you are there, then don't run away from it.

Usama reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Plague is a calamity which was inflicted on those who were before you, or upon Bani Isra'il. So when it has broken out in a land, don't run out of it, and when it has spread in a land, then don't enter it.

'Amir bin Sa'd reported that a person asked Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas about the plague, whereupon Usama bin Zaid said: I would inform you about it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: It is a calamity or a disease which Allah sent to a group of Bani Isra'il, or to the people who were before you; so when you hear of it in land, don't enter it and when it has broken out in your land, don't run away from it.

Usama bin Zaid reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: This calamity or illness was a punishment with which were punished some of the nations before you. Then it was left upon the earth. It goes away once and comes back again. He who heard of its presence in a land should not go towards it, and he who happened to be in a land where it had broken out should not fly from it.

Shu'bah reported from Habib: While we were in Madinah we heard of plague having broken out in Kufa. 'Ata bin Yasir and others said to me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said. If you are in a land where it (this scourge) has broken out, don't get out of it, and if you were to know that it had broken (in another land, then don't enter it. I said to him: From whom (did you hear it)? They said: 'Amir bin Sa'd has narrated it. So I came to him. They said that he was not present there. So I met his brother Ibrahim bin Sa'd and asked him. He said: I bear testimony to the fact that Usama narrated it to Sa'd saying: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying that it is a God-sent punishment from the calamity or from the remnant of the calamity with which people were afflicted before you. So when it is in a land and you are there, don't get out of it, and if (this news reaches you) that it has broken out in a land, then don't enter therein. Habib said: I said to Ibrahim: Did you hear Usama narrating it to Sa'd and he was not denying it. He said: Yes.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Sa'd bin Malik, Khuzaima bin Thabit and Usama bin Zaid.

Ibrahim bin Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas reported: Usama bin Zaid and Sa'd had been sitting and they had been conversing and they said this:

Salman reported: In case it lies in your power don't be one to enter the bazar first and the last to get out of that because there is a bustle and the standard of Satan is set there. He said: I was informed that Gabriel (ؑ) (RA) came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and there was with him Umm Salamah and he began to talk with him. He then stood up, whereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said to Umm Salamahh (RA) : (Do you know) who was he and what did he say? She said: He was Dihya (Kalbi). He reported Umm Salamah having said: By Allah, I did not deem him but only he (Dihya) until I heard the address of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) informing him about us. He (the narrator) said: I said to 'Uthman: From whom did you hear it? He said: From Usama bin Zaid.

Usama bin Zaid reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I stood at the door of Paradise and I found that the overwhelming majority of those who entered therein was that of poor persons and the wealthy persons were detained to get into that. The denizens of Hell were commanded to get into Hell, and I stood upon the door of Fire and the majority amongst them who entered there were women.

Usama bin Zaid reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I have not left after me any (chance) of turmoil more injurious to men than the harm done to the men because of women.

Usama bin Zaid bin Harith and Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Naufal both reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I have not left after me turmoil for the people but the harm done to men by women.

Usama reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) climbed up a battlement amongst the battlements of Madinah and then said: You do not see what I am seeing and I am seeing the places of turmoil between your houses as tile places of rainfall.

Shaqiq reported that it was said to Usama bin Zaid: Why don't you visit 'Uthman and talk to him? Thereupon he said: Do you think that I have not talked to him but that I have made you hear? By Allah. I have talked to him (about things) concerning me and him and I did not like to divulge those things about which I had to take the initiative and I do not say to my ruler: "You are the best among people," after I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in Hell-Fire and his intestines will pour forth in Hell and he will go round along with them, as an ass goes round the mill-stone. The denizens of Hell would gather round him and say: 0, so and so, what has happened to you? Were you not enjoining us to do what was reputable and forbid us to do what was disreputable? He will say: Of course, it is so; I used to enjoin (upon people) to do what was reputable but did not practise that myself. I had been forbidding people to do what was disreputable, but practised it myself.

Abu Wa'il reported: I was in the company of Usama bin Zaid that a person said: What prevents you to visit 'Uthman and talk to him for what he does? The rest of the hadith is the same.
