[Machine] 'Akrama ibn Abi Jahl, when I reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I said, "O Muhammad, this person informed me that you have granted me safety." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You are indeed safe." So, I said, "I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partner, and that you are the servant and Messenger of Allah. You are the most righteous, truthful, and faithful among the people." 'Akrama said, "I said this while bowing my head in humility. Then, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me from every enmity that I have shown towards anyone, or any assembly in which I have exhibited polytheism.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Allah, forgive 'Akrama for every enmity that he has shown towards me or any assembly he has joined, seeking to oppose Your path.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, guide me to the best of what you know so that I may learn it.' He said, 'Say, "I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I strive in His cause." Then 'Akrama said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, not a single coin did I leave that I would have spent in opposing the path of Allah, except that I spent double of it in the way of Allah. And I did not engage in any battle in opposition to the path of Allah, except that I received double of it in the way of Allah. Then I endeavored in fighting until I was martyred on the day of Ajnadeen during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had used me during his last pilgrimage to verify the weights used on the scales. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, and on that day, 'Akrama died with great honor.'
