English

[6228] 37 – ( … ) It was narrated that YazId bin Hayyân said: "We entered upon Zaid bin Arqam and said to him: 'You have seen good things; you accompanied the Messenger of Allah and prayed behind him…" and he quoted a HadIth like that of Abil Hayyân (no. 6225), except that he said: (The Messenger of Allah said:) "Behold, I am leaving among you the two weighty things, one of which is the Book of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, which is the rope of Allah. Whoever follows it will be following true guidance, and whoever forsakes it will be misguided." And in it, it says: "And we said: 'Who are the people of his household? His wives?' He said: 'No, by Allah. A woman may be with a man only for a part of his lifetime, then he divorces her and she goes back to her father and her people. The people of his household are his origin and his male relatives to whom Zakát was forbidden after he was gone."
