[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited me and wanted to send me with money to Abu Sufyan to distribute it among the Quraish in Mecca after the conquest. He said, "Find a companion." So, 'Amr ibn Umayyah Ad-Damri came to me and said, "I heard that you want to go out and find a companion. I am your companion." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you find a companion, give me permission." So, I gave him permission and he asked, "Who is it?" I said, "Amr ibn Umayyah Ad-Damri." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When he reaches the land of his people, be cautious of him, for someone has described him to me as being your brother Al-Bakri, so do not trust him." We set out until we reached Al-Abwa. He said, "I have a need with my people, please wait for me." I said, "Hurry back." When he left, I remembered the statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I tightened my camel's harness, and when I reached the tall palm trees, I saw him opposing me with a group. He said, "I have put it off." I heard him, so when he saw that I was ready to fight, they turned away and came to me. He said, "I had a need with my people." I said, "Alright." We continued until we reached Mecca and I handed over the money to Abu Sufyan.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me. He intended to send me with some goods to AbuSufyan to distribute among the Quraysh at Mecca after the conquest. He said: Search for a companion. Then Amr ibn Umayyah ad-Damri came to me and said: I have been told that you are intending to make a journey and are seeking a companion. I said: Yes. He said: I am your companion. I then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have found a companion. He asked: Who is he? I replied: Amr ibn Umayyah ad-Damri. He said: When you come down to the territory of his people, be careful of him, for a maxim says: If one is your real brother, do not feel safe with him. So we proceeded, and when I reached al-Abwa', he said to me: I have some work with my people at Waddan, so stay here till I come back. I said: Do not lose your way. When he turned his back, I recalled the words of the Prophet ﷺ. So I rode my camel and galloped without stopping. When I reached al-Asafir, he was pursuing me with a group of men. So I galloped and forged ahead of him. When he saw me that I had outstripped him, they returned and he came to me. He said to me: I had some work with my people. I said: Yes. We then went on until we reached Mecca, and I gave the goods to AbuSufyan.
