[Machine] I said, "No, rather, I am a Muslim." So the Messenger left and informed him. Then he came to me and said, "Stand up." He said, "I stood up and greeted him, and praised Allah and glorified Him." Then he said, "O Allah, You know that I did not sit in this gathering that You have put me to the test with, and that You have ordained for me, except that I hated it and detested it. So suffice me from the harm of its consequences." Then he took a clean piece of cloth and placed it on his face, and he continued to cry until I stood up. He said, "Then he stayed as long as Allah willed, and then Ibn Shubrumah was appointed after him." He said, "So I went, and there he was, standing and praying. When he saw me, he minimized the prayer. Then he sent me someone to dispute with me or someone to be conversed with, or is it a need?" He said, "I said, 'No, rather, I am a Muslim.'" So the Messenger left and informed him. Then he came to me and said, "Stand." So I stood up and greeted him, and I sat next to him. He said, "Tell me the narration of my brother, Mu'harib bin Dithar." So I narrated the narration to him. He said, "O Allah, You know that I did not sit in this gathering that You have put me to the test with, except that I loved it and yearned for it. So suffice me from the harm of its consequences." Then he took a clean piece of cloth and placed it on his face, and he continued to cry until I stood up.
