[Machine] "We, the Ansar, requested Umar or Uthman's ruling regarding the doubt of Ibn Abi Zanad. We walked with Abdullah Ibn Abbas and Nafar, who were companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . Ibn Abbas spoke and they discussed the Ansar and their merits, and the governor was demoted. Hassan said it was a difficult matter and we persisted in seeking it. He continued to consult them until they rose and made excuses except for Abdullah ibn Abbas, who said, 'By Allah! The Ansar have an esteemed position. They have indeed supported and sheltered (the Prophet) and their favor has been mentioned.' He also said, 'This is a poet of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ defending him.' Abdullah consistently presented comprehensive arguments that fulfilled all our needs. He found no alternative but to grant our request. He said, 'We left and Allah the Almighty had already granted our request through His words.' I held the hand of Abdullah, praised him, and prayed for him. I passed by the group in the mosque who were with him, but they did not reach the same conclusion. I said to them where they could hear, 'He was the best among you in this matter.' They replied, 'Indeed.' I said to Abdullah, 'By Allah! This is the outpouring of Prophethood and its inheritor, Ahmed ﷺ .' He replied, 'Hassan also indicated towards Abdullah Al-Bahar Al-Tweel, saying that when he spoke, he left no room for anyone else to talk. His words were concise and clear, healing the hearts. He did not leave any ambiguity or doubt in his speech. I listened to it without any difficulty, and I attained its essence without struggle, gaining its benefits without any loss."
