When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed the spoils of Hunayn at al-Jiranah, they crowded around him. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Indeed, a servant from among the servants of Allah—Allah sent him to a people, but they denied him and wounded him. He would wipe the blood from his forehead and say: ‘O Allah, forgive my people, for they do not know.’”
Abdullah b. Masud said: It is as though I am looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ portraying the man, wiping his forehead.
لَمَّا قَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَنَائِمَ حُنَيْنٍ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ، ازْدَحَمُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى قَوْمٍ، فَكَذَّبُوهُ وَشَجُّوهُ، فَكَانَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ جَبْهَتِهِ وَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ».
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَحْكِي الرَّجُلَ يَمْسَحُ عَنْ جَبْهَتِهِ.
