So, a young man from the descendants of Adam stood up and said, "By God, you did not prohibit us, but you commanded us and caused our destruction.

By God, you were idle when the community was functioning, but when discord emerged, you became the leaders of the infidels." Then, he turned to the people and said, "Salman bin Malik and Abdullah bin Umar have a position with God. By God, if it was a sin, it is a small and forgivable one, and if it was a good deed, it is great and praiseworthy."
