English Translation
Abu al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl al-Qattan in Baghdad informed us... from Harmalah, the freed slave of Usamah ibn Zayd, that while he was sitting with Abdullah ibn Umar, al-Hajjaj ibn Ayman — the son of Umm Ayman, who was an Ansari man, and Ayman was the brother of Usamah ibn Zayd, being older than Usamah — entered. Harmalah said: Al-Hajjaj prayed a prayer without completing his bowing and prostration. Ibn Umar called him when he finished and said: O nephew, do you think you have prayed? You have not prayed. Go back to your prayer. When al-Hajjaj left, Abdullah ibn Umar said to me: Who is this? I said: Al-Hajjaj ibn Ayman, the son of Umm Ayman. Ibn Umar said: If the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had seen this one, he would have loved him — and he mentioned his love for whatever Umm Ayman bore, as she was the nursemaid of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
