[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came to the house of Sa'd and stood at its door. He greeted and Sa'd replied and was afraid. Then he greeted again and Sa'd replied and was afraid. Then he greeted again and Sa'd replied and was afraid. So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , turned, returning. Sa'd followed him, walking in his footsteps, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother, I swear by Allah, nothing prevented me from returning your greeting except to hear more of your greeting. So he entered and put some cool water, then he performed ablution and was brought a colored cloak. He put it on, and I saw the reflection of light on his shoulders. Then he came and sat down and said, "O Allah, send peace upon the Ansar and their descendants, and the descendants of the descendants of the Ansar." When he wanted to leave, a donkey was brought to him and a coarse cloth was laid on it. He sent his son to lead the donkey back. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Carry him before me." Sa'd said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I carry him before you?" He said, "Yes, he deserves the back of his donkey." Sa'd said, "O Messenger of Allah, the donkey is yours." He said, "Carry him behind me."
