حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَشُجَاعُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَيَّانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَحُصَيْنُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ ، وَعُمَرُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ حُصَيْنٌ : لَقَدْ لَقِيتَ يَا زَيْدُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ، رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَسَمِعْتَ حَدِيثَهُ ، وَغَزَوْتَ مَعَهُ ، وَصَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَهُ لَقَدْ لَقِيتَ يَا زَيْدُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ، حَدِّثْنَا يَا زَيْدُ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي ، وَقَدُمَ عَهْدِي ، وَنَسِيتُ بَعْضَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَعِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا ، وَمَا لاَ ، فَلاَ تُكَلِّفُونِيهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فِينَا خَطِيبًا ، بِمَاءٍ يُدْعَى خُمًّا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ , فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، وَوَعَظَ وَذَكَّرَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، أَلاَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَسُولُ رَبِّي فَأُجِيبَ ، وَأَنَا تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ ثَقَلَيْنِ : أَوَّلُهُمَا كِتَابُ اللهِ فِيهِ الْهُدَى وَالنُّورُ فَخُذُوا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ ، وَاسْتَمْسِكُوا بِهِ فَحَثَّ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ وَرَغَّبَ فِيهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي ، أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي ، أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ حُصَيْنٌ : وَمَنْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ ؟ يَا زَيْدُ أَلَيْسَ نِسَاؤُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ؟ قَالَ : نِسَاؤُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ، وَلَكِنْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ مَنْ حُرِمَ الصَّدَقَةَ بَعْدَهُ ، قَالَ : وَمَنْ هُمْ ؟ قَالَ : هُمْ آلُ عَلِيٍّ وَآلُ عَقِيلٍ ، وَآلُ جَعْفَرٍ ، وَآلُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : كُلُّ هَؤُلاَءِ حُرِمَ الصَّدَقَةَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ.

Yazid bin Hayyan said: "Husain bin Sabrah, 'Umar bin Muslim and I set out and came to Zaid bin Arqam. When we sat with him, Husain said to him: 'O Zaid, you have attained a great deal of good. You saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and heard his Hadith, you fought alongside him and prayed behind him. O Zaid, you have attained a great deal of good. Tell us, O Zaid, what you heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).' He said: 'O son of my brother, by Allah I have grown old and it has been a long time, and I have forgotten some of that which I learned from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) Whatever I narrate to you, accept it, otherwise do not push me.' Then he said: 'One day the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) stood and addressed us at a watering place called Khumm, between Makkah and Al-Madinah. He praised and glorified Allah, and he exhorted and reminded us, then he said: "O people, I am only human, and soon the messenger of my Lord will come to me and I will respond. I am leaving among you two weighty things, the first of which is the Book of Allah in which is guidance and light. Follow the Book of Allah and hold fast to it." And he encouraged us to adhere to the Book of Allah, then he said: "And the people of my household, I remind you of Allah with regard to the people of my household, I remind you of Allah with regard to the people of my household, I remind you of Allah with regard to the people of my household."' Husain said to him: 'Who are the people of his household, 0 Zaid? Aren't his wives among the people of his household?' He said: 'His wives are among the people of his household, but the people of his household are those to whom Zakat is forbidden after he is gone.' He said: 'Who are they?' He said: 'They are the family of 'Ali, the family of 'Aqil, the family of Ja'far, and the family of 'Abbas.' He said: 'Was Zakat forbidden to all of these?' He said: 'Yes."'
