AbdusSalam ibn AbuHazim AbuTalut said:I saw AbuBarzah who came to visit Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad. Then a man named Muslim who was there in the company mentioned it to me. When Ubaydullah saw him, he said: This Muhammadan [i.e. Companion of Muhammad (ﷺ)] of yours is short and fat. The old man (i.e. AbuBarzah) understood it. So he said: I did not think I would remain amongst a people who would criticize me for having had the company of Muhammad (ﷺ). Thereupon Ubaydullah said to him: The company of Muhammad (ﷺ) is a honour for you, not a disgrace. He added: I called for you to ask about the Haud (reservoir or cistern). Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say anything about it? AbuBarzah said: Yes, not once, twice, thrice, four times or five times. Whoever disbelieves in it, may Allah not supply him with water from it. He then went away angrily

حدثنا مسلم بن ابراهيم، حدثنا عبد السلام بن ابي حازم ابو طالوت، قال شهدت ابا برزة دخل على عبيد الله بن زياد فحدثني فلان، سماه مسلم وكان في السماط فلما راه عبيد الله قال : ان محمديكم هذا الدحداح، ففهمها الشيخ فقال ما كنت احسب اني ابقى في قوم يعيروني بصحبة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال له عبيد الله ان صحبة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم لك زين غير شين ثم قال : انما بعثت اليك لاسالك عن الحوض سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يذكر فيه شييا فقال ابو برزة : نعم لا مرة ولا ثنتين ولا ثلاثا ولا اربعا ولا خمسا، فمن كذب به فلا سقاه الله منه ثم خرج مغضبا
