[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him as a messenger, and his father said, "Do not leave until you make a covenant with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." When he wanted to leave, he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said to him, "O Qais, do not come on the Day of Resurrection with a camel that has spots, or a cow that has horns, or a sheep that has been borrowed, and do not be like Abu Righal." So Saad asked, "Who is Abu Righal?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He is a truthful person whom Saleh, the messenger, sent. He found a man in Ta'if with a near abundance of a hundred sheep, except for one sheep and a young boy who has no mother. And that sheep is his sustenance." The owner of the sheep asked, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." The man greeted him and said, "These are my sheep, take whatever you like." He looked at the spotted sheep and said, "This one." The man said, "This young boy, as you can see, has no food or drink except for it." He said, "If you like milk, I also like it." So he said, "Take two sheep instead of it." He refused, but he continued to increase and offer until he gave him five pairs of sheep instead of it. Then he refused to give him more. When he saw that, he went to his bow and shot him, killing him. Then he said, "It is not appropriate for anyone to come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with such news before me." So the owner of the sheep went to Saleh, the Prophet ﷺ , and informed him. Saleh cursed Abu Righal twice. Then Saad bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah, forgive Qais for the water."
