He reported from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ stopped at the place where the mosque now stands, beneath a large tree, and remained there for three days. Then he set out for Tabuk, and the tribe of Juhaynah caught up with him at ar-Rahbah.He asked them, "Who owns Dhu al-Marwa?"They replied, "The clan of Rifa from Juhaynah."He said, "I have granted it to the clan of Rifa."So they divided it among themselves. Some of them sold their shares, while others kept theirs and cultivated the land.Then I asked his father Abdul-Aziz about this hadith, and he related part of it to me but did not relate the whole of it.
عن أبيه، عن جده أن النبي ﷺ نزل في موضع المسجد تحت دومة، فأقام ثلاثا، ثم خرج إلى تبوك، وإن جهينة لحقوه بالرحبة، فقال لهم: من أهل ذي المروة؟ فقالوا: بنو رفاعة من جهينة. فقال: قد أقطعتها لبني رفاعة. فاقتسموها، فمنهم من باع، ومنهم من أمسك فعمل، ثم سألت أباه عبد العزيز عن هذا الحديث، فحدثني ببعضه، ولم يحدثني به كله.
Abu Dawud (3068) narrated it from Sulayman bin Dawud Mahri, who said, Ibn Wahb informed us, Sabra bin Abdul-Aziz bin Rabi Juhani told me, and he related it. Its chain is hasan because of Sabra bin Abdul-Aziz and his father Abdul-Aziz, for the two of them make the hadith hasan. His statement, "the rahba" with a fatha on the ra and no vowel on the ha, means a wide open area. His statement, "Dhul-Marwa" is a village in Wadi Qura, situated between Madinah and Syria.On this subject there is also what has been narrated from Amr bin Hurayth, who said, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ marked out a house plot for me in Madinah, and said, "More for you, more for you." This was narrated by Abu Dawud (3060), Abu Yaala (1464), and Bayhaqi (6/145), all of them through the hadith of Fitr bin Khalifa, the freedman of Amr bin Hurayth, from his father, that he heard Amr bin Hurayth say, "My father took me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was a young boy, and he prayed for blessing for me, wiped my head, and marked out a house plot for me in Madinah." And he related it. This is the wording of Bayhaqi, while the other two give it in abbreviated form, as I have mentioned.In this narration is Khalifa, the father of Fitr, whom no one deemed reliable except Ibn Hibban. For this reason Ibn Qattan said, "Fitr is reliable, but his father's condition is not known, nor is anyone known to have narrated from him other than his son." He also said, "Amr bin Hurayth's age did not reach a point where he could grasp this meaning, for he was either an infant in the womb on the day of Badr, according to what Sharik narrated from Abu Ishaq, or the Prophet ﷺ passed away when he was twelve years old, according to the statement of Ibn Ishaq, or he was ten years old, which Sharik also narrated from Abu Ishaq."Dhahabi summarized this, saying, "Khalifa has no one narrating from him except his son Fitr, and Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the reliable narrators following his usual practice, and his report about Amr bin Hurayth is munkar." (Al-Mizan 1/666).
