Hadith 140

(The book) ‘Al Amdah’, from (the book) ‘Al Jam’a Bayn Al Sahiheyn’, the fifth Hadeeth from the choice of Muslim, from (the book) ‘Musnad’ of Ibn Abu Aqfa, by the chain, said, ‘We went, I and Husayn Bin Sabrah, and Umar Bin Muslim, to Zayd Bin Arqam. When we were seated to him, Husayn said, ‘O Zayd! You have come across a lot of good. Narrate to us, O Zayd, what you heard from Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He said, ‘O son of my brother! By Allah-azwj! My age is a lot, and my time is old, and I have forgotten part of which I had retained from Rasool-Allah-saww, so whatever I narrate to you all, accept it, and what I don’t, so do not encumber me for it’. Then he said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww stood among us one day to address at the water (well) called Khumm, being between Makkah and Al-Medina. He-saww praised Allah-azwj and extolled, and preached and reminded. Then he-saww said: ‘As for after, O you people! But rather, I-saww am a human being. No doubt a messenger of my-saww Lord-azwj will come, so I-saww must answer, and I-saww am leaving behind among you all, the two weight things. The first of these is the Book of Allah-azwj. In it is the Guidance, and the Noor, so take with the Book of Allah-azwj and hold fast with it! ’ He-saww urged upon the Book of Allah-azwj and made us to be desirous in it. Then he-saww said: ‘And People-asws of my-saww Household. I-saww remind you of Allah-azwj regarding People-asws of my-saww Household! ’’[105]
And from (the book) ‘Jam’a Bayn Al-Sihah Al-Sitta’ of Razen Bin Muawiya Al-Abdary, from the third volume, by the chain from (the book) ‘Saheeh’ of Abu Dawood Al-Sijistany, and from (the book) ‘Saheeh’ of Al-Tirmizi, from Husayn Bin Sabrah – similar to it, and in its end, ‘Then he-saww said: ‘And People-asws of my-saww Household. I-saww remind you all regarding People-asws of my-saww Household and the Book of Allah-azwj, for these two will never separate until they meet me-saww at the Fountain! ’’[106]
