He received hadith from his own father az-Zubair, from his brother Abdullah from his mother 'Asma bint Abu Bakar as-Shiddiq, from his mother's sister Aisyah, from Said bin Zaid Hakim bin Hizam, from Abu Hurairah and from others.
The hadith was narrated by Atha', Ibnu Abimulaikah, Abu Salamahbin Abdurahman, az-Zuhry, Umar bin Abdul Aziz, and their five children, namely Hisyam, Muhammad, Yahya, Abdullah and Uthman.

Meanwhile, Muhammad bin Sa'ad said, "There are three people who know Aisyah's hadith best, namely: al-Qasim, 'Urwah and 'Amrah."
