[Machine] "Muhammad tasted death as my brother Mahmoud tasted it and passed by him Ali, and he struck his neck and took his belongings. They both went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning his belongings. Muhammad said, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I did not cut off his legs and leave him only to taste death. I was able to kill him.' Ali said, 'He speaks the truth, I struck his neck after cutting off his legs.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave Muhammad bin Maslamah his belongings - his sword, shield, cloak, and belt. Muhammad bin Maslamah had a sword with the family of Muhammad bin Maslamah, inside of it was a book he did not know what it was until a Jew from the people of Tayma read it, and it said, 'This is the sword of welcome. Whoever tastes it, it will be ruined.'"
