Al-Ṭabarānī (1) likewise transmitted the report on the authority of Ibrāhīm ibn Ḥamzah al-Zuhrī, from Sufyān ibn Ḥamzah, with the same wording.
Another report:
Al-Bayhaqī (2) said: “Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥāfiẓ related to us; Abū Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Muzanī related to us; Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥaḍramī related to us; Abū Kurayb related to us; Zayd ibn al-Ḥabbāb related to us; ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Abī ʿAbs al-Anṣārī, of Banū Ḥārithah, told me; Maymūn ibn Zayd ibn Abī ʿAbs informed me; my father informed me—

Al-Bayhaqī added: “Abū ʿAbs was among those who fought at Badr.”
I say: We have also transmitted from Yazīd ibn al-Aswad—one of the Successors—that he would attend the prayer in the Great Mosque of Damascus from the suburb of Jisrīn, and on dark nights the big toe of his foot would at times give off light (3).
Earlier we mentioned the story of the conversion of al-Ṭufayl ibn ʿAmr al-Dawsī in Mecca before the Hijrah: he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a sign by which to call his people. When he departed and descended the mountain pass, a light appeared between his eyes. He supplicated, “O Allah, let them not say this is a disfigurement,” whereupon Allah shifted the light to the tip of his whip, so they saw it shining like a lantern.
Another report that records a karāmah granted to Tamīm al-Dārī:
Al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Bayhaqī narrated—through ʿAffān ibn Muslim, from Ḥammād ibn Salamah, from al-Jarīrī (from Abū al-ʿAlāʾ) (4) from Muʿāwiyah ibn Ḥarmal (5)—who said:
“A fire broke out in al-Ḥarrah. ʿUmar came to Tamīm al-Dārī and said, ‘Rise and deal with that fire.’ Tamīm replied, ‘O Commander of the Believers, who am I and what am I (that I should do this)?’ ʿUmar persisted until Tamīm accompanied him. I followed the two of them, and they set out toward the fire. Tamīm then began…”
