[Machine] "And I did not spend my money nor exert myself in anything without intention." He (the prophet) said, "So what is the third (thing)?" He said, "To sell (the items)." He said, "Have you seen if Allah made your heart blind as He made your vision blind, what would you do?" He said, "That would be hope." Hisham invited him for the pledge, but he refused. So he wrote a letter to Abdul Malik, and Abdul Malik wrote to him, "What is yours and Sa'id's, we did not commit anything to you that we would dislike." So if you do (the same), then strike him thirty lashes and dress him in patched clothing and banish him so that people do not follow him. Hisham invited him, but he refused. He said, "I will not pledge allegiance to two (leaders)." He (Hisham) then struck him thirty lashes and dressed him in patched clothing and banished him to the people. He (the narrator) said, "He (the Prophet) said, 'Hope, tell me about the Aliliyyun who were in the Shurat of the city.' They said, 'We knew that a person will not wear patched clothing willingly, so we said to him, 'O Abu Muhammad, it is death, so cover your private parts.' So he (Malik) wore (the clothing). He then said, 'When he was struck, it became clear to him that we had fooled him.' He (Malik) said, 'O people of Ayla! If only I thought it was death, I would not have worn it.'"
