Khuzaymah ibn Thabit

Sahih: Khuzaima ibn Thabit, not Ansari, and it was said: Khuzaima ibn Hakim.

We were informed by Abu Musa Muhammad ibn Umar ibn Abi Ishaq al-Madini with permission, he said: We were informed by Abu Ali al-Haddad, he said: We were informed by Abu Nu'aym al-Hafiz, he said: We were informed by Sulaiman ibn Ahmad, he said: We were informed by Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Khatib, he said: We were informed by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Abd al-Samad al-Sulami, known as Abu Bakr, he said: We were informed by Abu Imran al-Harrani, Yusuf ibn Ya'qub, he said: We were informed by Ibn Jurayj, from Ata', from Jabir ibn Abd Allah: That Khuzaima ibn Thabit, not Ansari, was in a caravan of Khadija, and that the Prophet ﷺ was with him in that caravan, he said: O Muhammad, I see virtues in you, and I bear witness that you are the Prophet who will emerge from Tihamah, and I have believed in you. If I hear of your emergence, I will come to you. He delayed from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until the day of the conquest of Mecca, he came to him, and when the Prophet ﷺ saw him he said: 'Welcome to the first migrant.' He said: O Messenger of Allah, what prevented me from being the first to come to you, and I am a believer in you, not a denier of your mission, nor a breaker of your covenant, and I have believed in the Quran, and I have disbelieved in the idols, except that after you we experienced harsh and prolonged years, and he mentioned a long hadith.

He was narrated from by Abu Musa like this, and he said: It was narrated by Abu Ma'shar, and Ubaid ibn Hakim, from Ibn Jurayj, from al-Zuhri, in a marfu' chain, and he said: Khuzaima ibn Hakim al-Sulami, then al-Bahzi.
