[Machine] Zaid bin Thabit accompanied the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ one morning until we reached the meeting point of the roads in Medina. We saw a Bedouin man holding onto the reigns of his camel and he approached the Prophet while we were surrounding him. The Bedouin man said, "Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah, and may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you." The Prophet ﷺ responded to him and asked, "How did you fare this morning?" The Bedouin man replied, "The camel became restless and a man approached us, looking like a guard. The guard said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this Bedouin man stole my camel.' The camel became calm for a while, and I listened to its sounds and laments. When the camel was calm, the guard left and the Prophet ﷺ approached the Bedouin man and said, 'Leave him, for the camel has testified that you are a liar.' The guard left and the Prophet ﷺ turned to the Bedouin man and asked, 'What did you say when you came to me?' The Bedouin man replied, 'I said, 'By my father and mother, O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad so that no prayer remains without Your blessings. O Allah, bless Muhammad so that no blessing remains without Your blessings. O Allah, grant peace upon Muhammad so that no peace remains without Your peace. O Allah, have mercy upon Muhammad so that no mercy remains without Your mercy.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Verily, Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, has responded to it before I did, and the camel speaks to defend its own cause, and the angels have covered the horizons.'"
