[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "How did you deceive him, O Abu Al-Yasar?" He said, "A man helped me with him, whom I had never seen before, neither his appearance nor knew his identity." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, a noble angel helped you with him." Then he said to Abbas, "O Abbas, save yourself and your nephew Aqeel bin Abi Talib, along with Nawfal bin Al-Harith and your ally Uthbah bin Jahdam, one of the sons of Al-Harith bin Fihr." Abbas refused and said, "I was already a Muslim before this incident. They forced me to do this." Allah knows your situation better. If what you claim is true, then Allah will reward you for it. As for the apparent matter, it was up to us. Save yourself." The Prophet ﷺ had already taken twenty ounces of gold from him, so Abbas said, "O Messenger of Allah, consider it as ransom for me." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, that is something Allah has given to us from you." Abbas said, "But I have no money." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Where is the money that you left in Makkah when you left Um Al-Fadl's house? There is no one else with you except the two of you." Abbas then said, "If anything happens to me during my journey, it is for Al-Fadl like this, and for Qutham like this, and for Abdullah like this." Abbas added, "By the One who sent you with the truth, no one knows about this except me, you, and her. And I do know that you are the Messenger of Allah."
