Hadith of Abdullah bin Hisham (RA), the grandfather of Zahrah bin Ma'bad (RA)

حديث عبد الله بن هشام جد زهرة بن معبد

Hadith 603:1

Abdullah ibn Yazid narrated to us, Sa’id—meaning Ibn Abi Ayyub—narrated to us, Abu ‘Aqil Zuhrah ibn Ma’bad al-Taymi narrated to me, from his grandfather ‘Abdullah ibn Hisham, who had met the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. His mother, Zaynab bint Humayd, took him to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, accept his pledge of allegiance." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "He is young." He wiped his head and prayed for him. He used to sacrifice a single sheep on behalf of all his family members.

حدثنا عبد الله بن يزيد، حدثنا سعيد يعني ابن أبي أيوب، حدثني أبو عقيل زهرة بن معبد التيمي، عن جده عبد الله بن هشام، وكان قد أدرك النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وذهبت به أمه زينب ابنة حميد إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقالت: يا رسول الله بايعه، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " هو صغير " فمسح رأسه، ودعا له، وكان يضحي بالشاة الواحدة عن جميع أهله
