Volume 5, Book 57, Number 81:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
That the Prophet used to take him (i.e. Usama) and Al-Hassan (in his lap) and say: “O Allah! Love
them, as I love them.” The freed slave of Usama bin Zaid said, “Al-Hajjaj bin Aiman bin Um Aiman
and Aiman Ibn Um Aiman was Usama’s brother from the maternal side, and he was one of the Ansar.
He was seen by Ibn ‘Umar not performing his bowing and prostrations in a perfect manner. So Ibn
‘Umar told him to repeat his prayer. Harmala, the freed slave of Usama bin Zaid said that while he
was in the company of ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar, Al-Hajjaj bin Aiman came in and (while praying) he did
not perform his bowing and prostrations properly. So Ibn ‘Umar told him to repeat his prayer. When
he went away, Ibn ‘Umar asked me, “Who is he?” I said, “Al-Hajjaj bin Um Aiman.” Ibn ‘Umar said, “If
Allah’s Apostle saw him, he would have loved him.” Then Ibn ‘Umar mentioned the love of the
Prophet for the children of Um Aimn. Sulaiman said that Um Aiman was one of the nurses of the
Prophet.
