[Machine] I went out with Ibrahim ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Rabee'ah. Ibrahim ibn Abdul Rahman sent Ibrahim ibn Abdul Rahman to ibn Saad. When we were in Al-Arj, a son of Saad and Saad himself, who accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his journey, came to us. Ibrahim asked me, "What did your father tell you?" Ibn Saad replied, "My father told me that the Messenger of Allah came to them with Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr had a nursling daughter with them. The Messenger of Allah intended to shorten the journey to Madinah, so Saad said, 'This is a she-camel from Al-Ghair which has two disorders, but there are two men from the Muslims who are called Al-Muhanaan (the humiliated). If you want, we can replace them with you.' The Prophet ﷺ accepted and said, 'Yes, replace them with us.' Saad said, 'Then we set out until one of them said to his companion, 'This is the Yamani.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called them and presented Islam to them, and they embraced Islam. Then he asked them their names, and they said, 'We are Al-Muhanaan.' He said, 'No, you are Al-Mukraman (honored).' He ordered them to go ahead to Madinah. We continued until we reached Dhaher Qubaa, where Bani Amr Ibn Awf met us. The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Where is Abu Umamah As'ad ibn Zurarah?' Saad ibn Khaythamah replied, 'He was hurt before me, O Messenger of Allah. Shouldn't I inform him about you?' Then he went until he reached the palm grove and found the water filled. The Prophet ﷺ looked at Abu Bakr and said, 'O Abu Bakr, this is the place where I saw myself descending into a grassy area like the grassy area of Bani Mudlij.'
