Volume 5, Book 59, Number 313:
Narrated ‘Urwa:
On the day of (the battle) of Al-Yarmuk, the companions of Allah’s Apostle said to Az-Zubair,
“Will you attack the enemy so that we shall attack them with you?” Az-Zubair replied, “If I attack
them, you people would not support me.” They said, “No, we will support you.” So Az-Zubair attacked
them (i.e. Byzantine) and pierced through their lines, and went beyond them and none of his com –
panions was with him. Then he returned and the enemy got hold of the bridle of his (horse) and
struck him two blows (with the sword) on his shoulder. Between these two wounds there was a scar
caused by a blow, he had received on the day of Badr (battle). When I was a child I used to play with
those scars by putting my fingers in them. On that day (my brother) “Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was
also with him and he was ten years old. Az-Zubair had carried him on a horse and let him to the
care of some men.

Aisha said, “A Qaif (i.e. one skilled in recognizing the lineage of a person through Physiognomy
and through examining the body parts of an infant) came to me while the Prophet was present, and
Usama bin Zaid and Zaid bin Haritha were Lying asleep. The Qa’if said. These feet (of Usama and his
father) are of persons belonging to the same lineage.’ ” The Prophet was pleased with that saying
which won his admiration, and he told ‘Aisha of it.

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 836:
Narrated ‘Urwa:
That the Prophet gave him one Dinar so as to buy a sheep for him. ‘Urwa bought two sheep for
him with the money. Then he sold one of the sheep for one Dinar, and brought one Dinar and a
sheep to the Prophet. On that, the Prophet invoked Allah to bless him in his deals. So ‘Urwa used to
gain (from any deal) even if he bought dust. (In another narration) ‘Urwa said, “I heard Allah’s
Apostle saying, “There is always goodness in horses till the Day of Resurrection.” (The subnarrator
added, “I saw 70 horses in ‘Urwa’s house.’) (Sufyan said, “The Prophet asked ‘Urwa to buy a sheep for
him as a sacrifice.”)

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 603:
Narrated ‘Urwa:
I asked ‘Aisha the wife of the Prophet about the meaning of the following Verse: — “(Respite will
be granted) ‘Until when the apostles give up hope (of their people) and thought that they were
denied (by their people)……………”(12.110) ‘Aisha replied, “Really, their nations did not believe them.” I
said, “By Allah! They were definite that their nations treated them as liars and it was not a matter of
suspecting.” ‘Aisha said, “O ‘Uraiya (i.e. ‘Urwa)! No doubt, they were quite sure about it.”
I said, “May the Verse be read in such a way as to mean that the apostles thought that Allah did not
help them?” Aisha said, “Allah forbid! (Impossible) The Apostles did not suspect their Lord of such a
thing. But this Verse is concerned with the Apostles’ followers who had faith in their Lord and be –
lieved in their apostles and their period of trials was long and Allah’s Help was delayed till the
apostles gave up hope for the conversion of the disbelievers amongst their nation and suspected that
even their followers were shaken in their belief, Allah’s Help then came to them.” Narrated Ibn
‘Umar: The Prophet said, “The honorable, the son of the honorable, the son of the honorable, (was)
Joseph, the son of Jacob! the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham.”

Volume 3, Book 50, Number 889:
Narrated Urwa:
Aisha said, “Buraira came to me and said, ‘My people (masters) have written the contract for my
emancipation for nine Awaq ) of gold) to be paid in yearly installments, one Uqiyya per year; so help
me.” Aisha said (to her), “If your masters agree, I will pay them the whole sum provided the Wala will
be for me.” Buraira went to her masters and told them about it, but they refused the offer and she re –
turned from them while Allah’s Apostles was sitting. She said, “I presented the offer to them, but they
refused unless the Wala’ would be for them.” When the Prophet heard that and ‘Aisha told him about
It, he said to her, “Buy Buraira and let them stipulate that her Wala’ will be for them, as the Wala’ is
for the manumitted.” ‘Aisha did so. After that Allah’s Apostle got up amidst the people, Glorified and
Praised Allah and said, “What is wrong with some people who stipulate things which are not in Al –
lah’s Laws? Any condition which is not in Allah’s Laws is invalid even if there were a hundred such
conditions. Allah’s Rules are the most valid and Allah’s Conditions are the most solid. The Wala is for
the manumitted.”

Volume 3, Book 50, Number 878:
Narrated Urwa:
Aisha told me that Buraira came to seek her help in writing for emancipation and at that time she
had not paid any part of her price. ‘Aisha said to her, “Go to your masters and if they agree that I will
pay your price (and free you) on condition that your Wala’ will be for me, I will pay the money.”
Buraira told her masters about that, but they refused, and said, “If ‘Aisha wants to do a favor she
could, but your Wala will be for us.” Aisha informed Allah’s Apostle of that and he said to her, “Buy
and manumit Buraira as the Wala’ will go to the manumitted.”
