IBNHIBBAN 326:
from al-Ṣūfī —
[Machine] I heard Abu 'Inabah Al-Khawlanī, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and used to pray towards both directions of the Qibla and consume blood during the pre-Islamic era, saying: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Allah continues to plant in this religion a planting that he employs them in His obedience.'"

عن الصوفي —
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عِنَبَةَ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِمَّنْ صَلَّى لِلْقِبْلَتَيْنِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا وَأَكَلَ الدَّمَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ اللَّهُ يَغْرِسُ فِي هَذَا الدِّينِ بِغَرْسٍ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُمْ فِي طَاعَتِهِ»
