That Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him and Fatima the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ at their house at night and said, "Won't you pray?" ʿAli replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Our souls are in the Hands of Allah and when he wants us to get up, He makes us get up." When ʿAli said that to him, Messenger of Allah ﷺ left without saying anything to him. While the Prophet ﷺ was leaving, ʿAli heard him striking his thigh (with his hand) and saying, "But man is quarrelsome more than anything else." (18.54)

While we were in the mosque, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and said, "Let us proceed to the Jews." So we went out with him till we came to Bait-al-Midras. The Prophet ﷺ stood up there and called them, saying, "O assembly of Jews! Surrender to Allah (embrace Islam) and you will be safe!" They said, "You have conveyed Allah's message, O Aba-al-Qasim" Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to them, "That is what I want; embrace Islam and you will be safe." They said, "You have conveyed the message, O Aba-al- Qasim." Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to them, "That is what I want," and repeated his words for the third time and added, "Know that the earth is for Allah and I want to exile you from this land, so whoever among you has property he should sell it, otherwise, know that the land is for Allah and His Apostle."
