[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , returned from the Battle of Tabuk, a caller ordered and announced that the Messenger of Allah had taken control of the Aqaba pass and that no one should take it. While the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was leading them, Hudhayfah was driving and 'Ammar was accompanying them. Suddenly, a group of masked men appeared on the coasts and attacked 'Ammar while he was driving the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . 'Ammar fought back and struck the faces of the attackers. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to Hudhayfah, "Go and see who they are." Hudhayfah replied that he recognized most of them and that they were masked. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , asked, "Do you know what they wanted?" Hudhayfah replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "They wanted to rid themselves of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and throw him off the cliff." 'Ammar then asked one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and said, "I swear by Allah, how many companions were there at the Aqaba pass?" The companion replied, "Fourteen." 'Ammar said, "If you were among them, then there were fifteen." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , pardoned three of them. They said, "By Allah, we did not hear the caller of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and we did not know what the people intended." 'Ammar testified that the remaining twelve were fighters for the cause of Allah and His Messenger in this worldly life and on the Day of Judgment. Al-Walid (the narrator) mentioned that Abu Tufayl mentioned that during that battle, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , ordered the people not to approach the water before him. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , called out and announced that no one should drink the water before him. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , arrived at the water and found a group of people who had already drunk from it before him. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , cursed them on that day.
