[Machine] "Translation: There was a man who used to come to the prayer, and it was said to him, 'If you had taken a donkey to protect you from thorns, branches, and falling', and he said: Shu'bah mentioned Rabee'ah who said that Al-Mahluufah said, 'I do not like to be beaten with the whip of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So, this was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said to him: 'You will have what you intended or you will have the reward of what you intended.' Shu'bah said: He said that."
