He said: ‘SubhanAllaah, how is that?’

He said: ‘You say, when you take a vow, ‘I swear by the Ka’ba.’’

Qutaylah said: The Messenger of Allaah - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – waited for a while then said:

‘Indeed he has said so, so for the one who makes a vow then let him make a vow by saying: (wa Rabb al-Ka’ba) I swear by The Lord of the Ka’ba.’

The learned man then said:

‘O Muhammad you would be blessed people if it were not that you set up a partner with Allaah!’

The Messenger said: ‘SubhanAllaah and how is that?’

He answered: ‘You say, ‘Whatever Allaah wills and whatever you will.’’

Islaam came and I could not hear anything.’ As for the dumb person he will say: ‘Islaam came and children would throw dung at me.’ As for the senile person he will say: ‘Islaam came and I was unintelligent.’ As for the person who died without the Dawa’ of a Prophet having reached him, he will say: ‘O Lord!

The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ‘Whoever has any extra food then he should come with it.’

So the people began coming with measures of food, some more and some less. All that the army had was twenty-odd Saa’ (a unit of measure).

The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- sat next to the food and supplicated for blessings then he said: ‘Take the food and be calm.’

So a man began taking food in his bag and his sack and they all began taking the food in their containers to the extent that a man would tie up the sleeves of his shirt and fill it up. Even after they had all taken their food, the food remained as it had been.

Then the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ‘I testify that there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah and that I am the Messenger of Allaah. No rightful slave of Allaah comes with this testification except that Allaah saves him from the heat of the Fire.’
