Hadith

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

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?"'' Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani deemed this narration has good chain(Hasan)

Sahih Muslim also recorded 'Abbad narrated hadith from Aisha: ''A person came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he then narrated the hadith. But (neither these words are found):" Give charity, give charity" (nor) his words:" during the time".''
