[Machine] "When Mu'adh was sent by the Prophet (PBUH), he accompanied him. Mu'adh was riding while the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was walking under his mount. When they finished, the Prophet (PBUH) said, "O Mu'adh, it is possible that you will not see me after this year, and perhaps you will pass by my mosque and my grave." Mu'adh ibn Jabal then burst into tears out of eagerness to part with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Do not cry, O Mu'adh, for crying is from Satan."

When they were done ˹reaching the farewell point˺, he said, "O Muʿādh, it may be that you you may not meet me after this year of mine and that you may walk by my Masjid and my grave." Muʿādh b.
