[Machine] About the time, Abu Muslim delayed them while he was performing ablution on the bank of a river, talking to himself about their matter. Then, a raven landed on a tree and said, "O Abu Muslim, did you worry about the matter of the secret group?" He replied, "Yes." The raven said, "Do not worry, for they have obtained spoils and are safe. They are with you at such and such a time." Abu Muslim asked, "Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you?" The raven replied, "I am Isra'il, the one who brings joy to the hearts of believers." Then, the people came at the mentioned time, as he had mentioned.
