[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on our mounts from the city while it was devouring date pits. So, a person stood up and said, "This man does not have any provisions." The Prophet ﷺ hastened his pace and we hastened with him. Then, we found a young boy whose lips were cracked from eating the leaves of the trees, so he asked him, "Where are you going?" He replied, "I intend to meet Muhammad ﷺ in order to pledge allegiance to him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I am Muhammad, I am the Messenger of Allah." The boy greeted him with peace and asked him to show him the way to Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said, "You bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and you affirm what has come from Allah." The boy said, "I affirm." The Prophet ﷺ continued, "And you establish the prayer." The boy said, "I establish it." The Prophet ﷺ further said, "And you fast in Ramadan." The boy said, "I fast." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "And you perform pilgrimage to the House (of Allah)." The boy said, "I will perform it." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left. Ja`far said, "We surrounded him (the boy) in order to hear what he would be asked next." Then, the Prophet ﷺ left and we left. Then, Bilal's hands were caught in the legs of a rat and it bit him, so the Prophet ﷺ turned around and said, "Call the man." We found him with a bent neck and he had died. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, looked at him, turned away from him with his face and said, "Carry him to the water." So, we washed him, wrapped him in a funeral shroud, and placed him in a coffin. Then, he said, "Dig a grave for him and make it deep, for the grave is ours and the partition is for others." He sat on his grave but did not tell us anything. Then, he said, "Shall I not inform you about this man? He is one of those who did little and earned a lot, those who Allah said about, 'Indeed, those who believed and did not mix their belief with injustice.' I turned away from him while two angels push down the fruits of paradise into his mouth."
