Abbad was taught and influenced by various Companions of Muhammad, including Umar, his grandmother Asma bint Abi Bakr, his grandmother's sister and wife of Muhammad, Aisha, along with the scribe Zayd ibn Thabit and his own father Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr.[1]

Hadith

edit

Hadith scholars deem Abbad as an authentic and trustworthy narrator of hadith.[1]

Abi Dawud narrated Abdullah ibn Ubaydullah ibn Umayr narrated during the time of Second Fitna, 'Abbad were asking Abdullah ibn Umar: We have heard that the evening meal is taken just before the night prayer. Thereupon Abdullah ibn Umar replied: "Woe to you! what was their evening meal? Do you think it was like the meal of your father?"[3] Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani deemed this narration has good chain(Hasan)[3]

Yahya, his son who also narrated hadith, reported some hadiths from his father.[2]

Ibn Hisham said from Yahya through Abbad, that Talhah, one of the ten Companions who have been promised paradise, was praised by Muhammad and promised Paradise for his assistance during the Battle of Uhud.[2]

While Ibn Hisham also wrote his commentary from Ibn Ishaq that during Battle of the Trench, Safiyya bint Abd al-Muttalib, mother of az-Zubayr, ancestor of Yahya, used an iron staff to kill a Jewish interloper with who want to betray the Muslims and slips in to the refugee fortress which contained wives, elders, and children of the Muslim soldiers who fought on the frontline.
