[Machine] He (Abu Ruhamah) heard Kalthoom bin Huthayn, one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who pledged allegiance under the Tree, saying: I participated in the battle of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One night, I walked with him while we were in the Al-Akhdir area, close to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We became overcome with drowsiness, and I fell asleep with my camel close to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. As my camel approached his, I became startled out of fear that it may hit the leg of his camel. So, I pulled my camel away from his until my eyes closed for a while. It was late in the night, and my camel caught up with the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and its leg hit the saddle. I did not wake up until he said, 'Hass!'. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me', and he replied, 'Go on'. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me about those who had been left behind from the Banu Ghifar tribe. I informed him about them, and then he asked me, 'What did the red-footed brown camels do?' I explained their absence, and then he asked, 'What did the black-footed white camels do?' I said, 'By Allah, I do not know who they are among us'. He said, 'Rather, it is those who have abundant wealth tied to their saddles'. I then remembered them among the Banu Ghifar tribe, but I did not mention them until I remembered that they were allies of ours. So, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, they are allies of ours from the Muslims'. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What prevented any of those (wealthy people) when they were left behind from carrying a camel loaded with his mixed luggage for the sake of Allah's cause? Truly, I consider my Muhajirin from the Quraysh, Ansar, Ghifar, and Aslam to be above my own family''.
