[Machine] He said, "I would not have come before you if you were older and had migrated earlier, and the mosque is your mosque." Furat said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say something about you, I will never surpass you." Banu Ajlan said, "Did you witness it when he sent me to Ta'if and I came back with a specific news?" He said, "Yes." Hanthalah then stepped forward and led the prayers with them. Furat said, "O Banu Ajlan, I only came forward because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Ta'if and he came and informed him of the news, and he said, 'You spoke the truth, go back to your home, for you have witnessed the night.' When he left, he said to us, 'Bring him and his likes.'"
