[Machine] I used to hate the harm that the Quraysh inflicted upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so when I thought that they were going to kill him, I left until I reached a monastery from the monasteries. The people of the monastery went to their leader and informed him. He said to them what was appropriate for him three times, and when the three passed and they saw that he did not leave, they went to their companion and informed him. He said to them, "Tell him that we have fulfilled his right as it should be for him. If he is a guardian, his guardianship has ended. If he is a relative, it has reached you that you should go to the one you are related to. If he is a merchant, he has reached you that you should go to your trade." He said, "I am neither a relative nor a merchant, and I have no part in it." So they went to him and informed him, and he said, "Indeed, he has his own affair, so ask him what his affair is." They came to him and asked him, and he said, "No, by Allah, except that I am in the village of Ibrahim, and my cousin claims to be a prophet, so his people harmed him, and I feared that they would kill him. I left because I did not witness that." He said, "So they went to their companion and informed him of what I said. He said, 'Come.' So I went to him, and he asked me about my story, and he said, 'Do you fear that they will kill him?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'And do you know his resemblance, if you were to see him depicted?' I said, 'Yes.' I have known him intimately for a long time, so he had an image covered. So he began to uncover one image after another, and then he said, 'Do you recognize him?' I said, 'No,' until he uncovered an image and said, 'There is nothing that resembles him more than this image, as if it is his height, his body, and his build.' After revealing the shoulders, he said, 'Do you fear that they will kill him?' He said, 'I think that they have finished with him.' He said, 'By Allah, they will not kill him, but they will kill whoever they want to kill. Allah will make him prevail, but his right has become obligatory upon us, so stay as long as you need to and call for whatever you desire.' He said, 'So I stayed with them for a while, and then I said, 'If I obeyed them, I would have come to Makkah, and I found that they had expelled the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Al-Madinah. When I arrived, the Quraysh came to me and said, 'Your matter has become clear to us, and we know your situation. So bring us the wealth of the young boy which your father entrusted to you.' I said, 'I would not have done this until you separated between my head and my body. But let me go so that I can give it to them.' They said, 'You have the covenant of Allah upon you, that you should not eat from our food.' He said, 'So I came to Al-Madinah, and the news reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I entered upon him, and he said to me about what he says, 'Indeed, I see you hungry, so come and eat.' I said, 'I will not eat until I inform you. If you see me eating, then I have eaten.' He said, 'So I informed him about what they had taken from me.' He said, 'Then fulfill the covenant of Allah and do not eat from our food or drink from our drink.'"
