Volume 2, Book 26, Number 658:
Narrated ‘Usama bin Zaid:
I asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! Where will you stay in Mecca? Will you stay in your house in Mecca?”
He replied, “Has ‘Aqil left any property or house?” Aqil along with Talib had inherited the property of
Abu Talib. Jafar and Ali did not inherit anything as they were Muslims and the other two were non-
believers. ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say, “A believer cannot inherit (anything from an) infidel.”
Ibn Shihab, (a sub-narrator) said, “They (Umar and others) derived the above verdict from Allah’s
Statement: “Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and strove with their life And property in Al –

lah’s Cause, And those who helped (the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These are
(all) allies to one another.” (8.72)
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 373:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
The daughter of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) sent (a messenger) to the Prophet requesting him to come as
her child was dying (or was gasping), but the Prophet returned the messenger and told him to con –
vey his greeting to her and say: “Whatever Allah takes is for Him and whatever He gives, is for Him,
and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world) and so she should be patient and
hope for Allah’s reward.” She again sent for him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet got up,
and so did Sad bin ‘Ubada, Muadh bin Jabal, Ubai bin Ka’b, Zaid bin Thabit and some other men. The
child was brought to Allah’s Apostle while his breath was disturbed in his chest (the sub-narrator
thinks that Usama added: ) as if it was a leather water-skin. On that the eyes of the Prophet (p.b.u.h)
started shedding tears. Sad said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is this?” He replied, “It is mercy which Allah
has lodged in the hearts of His slaves, and Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are mer –
ciful (to others).

Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
“When Allah’s Apostle departed from ‘Arafat, he turned towards a mountain pass where he
answered the call of nature. (After he had finished) I poured water and he performed ablution and
then I said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle! Will you offer the prayer?” He replied, “The Musalla (place of
the prayer) is ahead of you (in Al-Muzdalifa).”
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 141:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
Allah’s Apostle proceeded from ‘Arafat till when he reached the mountain pass, he dismounted,
urinated and then performed ablution but not a perfect one. I said to him, (“Is it the time for) the
prayer, O Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “The (place of) prayer is ahead of you.” He rode till when he
reached Al-Muzdalifa, he dismounted and performed ablution and a perfect one, The (call for)
Iqama was pronounced and he led the Maghrib prayer. Then everybody made his camel kneel down
at its place. Then the Iqama was pronounced for the ‘Isha’ prayer which the Prophet led and no
prayer was offered in between the two . prayers (‘Isha’ and Maghrib).
