He also said, “I was permitted to take part in the Battle of the Trench, and the encounter of Buʿāth had occurred when I was six years old.” (1)

Dāwūd ibn Abī Hind—on the authority of Abū Naḍrah, from Abū Saʿīd—reported:

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, the spokesmen of the Anṣār (Helpers) rose, delivered speeches, and said: “One leader from us and one leader from you.”

Zayd ibn Thābit then stood and declared, “The Messenger of Allah was from the Muhājirīn (Emigrants), and we are his Anṣār. The imām (supreme leader) must therefore be from the Muhājirīn, and we are his Anṣār.”

Abū Bakr replied, “May Allah reward you well, O assembly of the Anṣār, and keep firm the one who spoke for you. Had you said anything else, we would never have reached an agreement with you.” (2)

This chain is sound.

Al-Tayālisī also recorded it in his Musnad, through Wuhaib, from him.

Al-Shaʿbī transmitted—through Masrūq—who said:

The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who were recognized for issuing legal verdicts were ʿUmar, ʿAlī, Ibn Masʿūd, Zayd, Ubayy, and Abū Mūsā. (3)

The hadith is reported by al-Tabarani, no. 4743, through the chain: Yaqub ibn Muhammad al-Zuhri – related to us Ismail ibn Qays – from his father – from Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit. Ismail ibn Qays ibn Saad ibn Zayd: al-Dhahabi cites in al-Mizan the judgments of al-Bukhari and al-Daraqutni that his reports are munkar (objectionable); al-Nasa’i and others also deemed him weak. Ibn Adi adds that most of what he transmits is objectionable. (1) Al-Mustadrak, 3/421; Tahdhib Ibn Asakir, 5/449, via al-Waqidi. The Battle of Buath occurred five years before the Prophet’s hijra. (2) Musnad al-Tayalisi, 2/169. Also recorded by Ahmad, 5/122, and al-Tabarani, no. 4785; cited by al-Haythami in Majmaʿ al-zawaʾid, 6/183, who notes: its transmitters are those of the Sahih. (3) Tarikh al-Fasawi, 1/481; Tahdhib Ibn Asakir, 5/449; Abu Zurʿa’s Tarikh Dimashq, no. 1922. The chain is sound. See also Siyar, 2/28.

وَعَنْهُ، قَالَ: أُجِزْتُ فِي الخَنْدَقِ، وَكَانَتْ وَقْعَةُ بُعَاثٍ وَأَنَا ابْنُ سِتِّ سِنِيْنَ (١) . دَاوُدُ بنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ: عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيْدٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ، قَامَ خُطَبَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا، وَقَالُوا: رَجُلٌ مِنَّا، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ. فَقَامَ زَيْدُ بنُ ثَابِتٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ كَانَ منَ المُهَاجِرِيْنَ، وَنَحْنُ أَنْصَارُهُ، وَإِنَّمَا يَكُوْنُ الإِمَامُ مِنَ المُهَاجِرِيْنَ، وَنَحْنُ أَنْصَارُهُ. فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ خَيْراً يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ، وَثَبَّتَ قَائِلَكُم، لَو قُلْتُمْ غَيْرَ هَذَا مَا صَالَحْنَاكُمْ (٢) . هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيْحٌ. رَوَاهُ: الطَّيَالِسِيُّ فِي (مُسْنَدِهِ) ، عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ، عَنْهُ. رَوَى: الشَّعْبِيُّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوْقٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الفَتْوَى مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ ﷺ: عُمَرُ، وَعَلِيٌّ، وَابْنُ مَسْعُوْدٍ، وَزَيْدٌ، وَأُبَيٌّ، وَأَبُو مُوْسَى (٣) .
