[Machine] As for me, I testify that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not choose [this position], but people rushed and seized them [leadership positions] forcefully. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith held onto the reins of his white mule and said, "I am the Prophet, there is no falsehood in me. I am the son of Abdul-Muttalib."
أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَلِّ وَلَكِنْ عَجِلَ سَرَعَانُ الْقَوْمِ فَرَشَقَتْهُمْ هَوَازِنُ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِرَأْسِ بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ
