Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna ‘Ala’ Hadhrami (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Bahrain, I also went after him. I saw three qualities in him. I do not know which of these qualities is dearest to me. When we reached the shore of the sea, he said: Enter by reciting Bismillah. We recited Bismillah and entered, and we crossed the sea. Only the lower socks of our camels got wet from the water. When we returned, we came to a dry land. There was no water there. So we complained to him about this, and he started to pray. Then everyone prayed two rak‘ahs and made supplication, and suddenly a cloud appeared like a shield, then it spread its sides, so we drank from it and gave water to the camels. Then when he passed away, we buried him in the sand. When we were about to leave from there, we said,“Let no wild animal eat him.”When we returned there, we did not find him there.
