[Machine] My father came to the Prophet ﷺ when he was a young boy, and the Prophet ﷺ wiped his head and sought forgiveness for him. Shu'bah said: We asked him, "Did you have companionship with the Prophet?" He said, "No, but he had taken care of me during his time."  

أحمد:١٦٢٥٠حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ قَالَ
