[6228] 37 - (...) It was narrated that Yazīd bin Hayyān said: “We entered upon Zaid bin Arqam and said to him: ‘You have seen good things; you accompanied the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and prayed behind him...’” and he quoted a Hadīth like that of Abū Hayyān (no. 6225), except that he said: (The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:) “Behold, I am leaving among you the two weighty things, one of which is the Book of Allāh, Glorified and Exalted is He, which is the rope of Allāh. Whoever follows it will be following true guidance, and whoever forsakes it will be misguided.” And in it, it says: “And we said: ‘Who are the people of his household? His wives?’ He said: ‘No, by Allāh. A woman may be with a man only for a part of his lifetime, then he divorces her and she goes back to her father and her people. The people of his household are his origin and his male relatives to whom Zakāt was forbidden after he was gone.’”
