Volume 9, Book 88, Number 228:
Narrated Abu Al-Minhal:
When Ibn Ziyad and Marwan were in Sham and Ibn Az-Zubair took over the authority in Mecca
and Qurra’ (the Kharijites) revolted in Basra, I went out with my father to Abu Barza Al-Aslami till
we entered upon him in his house while he was sitting in the shade of a room built of cane. So we sat
with him and my father started talking to him saying, “O Abu Barza! Don’t you see in what dilemma
the people has fallen?” The first thing heard him saying “I seek reward from Allah for myself because
of being angry and scornful at the Quraish tribe. O you Arabs! You know very well that you were in
misery and were few in number and misguided, and that Allah has brought you out of all that with
Islam and with Muhammad till He brought you to this state (of prosperity and happiness) which you
see now; and it is this worldly wealth and pleasures which has caused mischief to appear among
you. The one who is in Sham (i.e., Marwan), by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly
gain: and those who are among you, by Allah, are not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain;
and that one who is in Mecca (i.e., Ibn Az-Zubair) by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake of
worldly gain.”

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 387:
Narrated Abu Al-Minhal:
I asked Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib and Zaid bin Arqam about money exchanges. Each of them said, “This is
better than I,” and both of them said, “Allah’s Apostle forbade the selling of silver for gold on credit. “

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 276:
Narrated Abu Al-Minhal:
I used to practice money exchange, and I asked Zaid bin ‘Arqam about it, and he narrated what
the Prophet said in the following: Abu Al-Minhal said, “I asked Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib and Zaid bin Ar –
qam about practicing money exchange. They replied, ‘We were traders in the time of Allah’s Apostle
and I asked Allah’s Apostle about money exchange. He replied, ‘If it is from hand to hand, there is no
harm in it; otherwise it is not permissible.”

Volume 1, Book 10, Number 516:
Narrated Abu Al-Minhal:
Abu Barza said, “The Prophet used to offer the Fajr (prayer) when one could recognize the person
sitting by him (after the prayer) and he used to recite between 60 to 100 Ayat (verses) of the Qur’an.
He used to offer the Zuhr prayer as soon as the sun declined (at noon) and the ‘Asr at a time when a
man might go and return from the farthest place in Medina and find the sun still hot. (The sub-nar –
rator forgot what was said about the Maghrib). He did not mind delaying the ‘Isha prayer to one
third of the night or the middle of the night.”
