It wasnarrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Ka’b bin Malik said: “I usedtoguide my father after he lost his sight, and when I took him outforthe Friday (prayer), when he heard the Adhan he would pray forforgiveness for Abu Umamah As’ad bin Zurarah, and supplicate forhim.I heard that from him for a while, then I said to myself: ‘ByAllah!What is this weakness? Every time he heard the Adhan forFriday(prayer) I hear him praying for forgiveness for Abu Umamah andsupplicate for him, and I do not ask him about why he does that.’ThenI took him out for Friday (prayer), as I used to take him out,andwhen he heard the Adhan he prayed for forgiveness as he used todo. Isaid to him: ‘O my father! I see you supplicating for As’adbinZurarah every time you hear the call for Friday; why is that?’Hesaid: ‘O my son, he was the first one who led us for the Fridayprayerbefore the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came from Makkah, in Naqi’Al-Khadamat (a place near Al-Madinah), in the plain of Harrah BanuBayadah.’ I asked: ‘How many of you were there at that time?’He said:‘Forty men.’” Translation Not Available
