Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Asim Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Allah Almighty has granted me protection regarding three things for my Ummah: they will not remain hungry, they will not agree upon misguidance, and they will not be completely annihilated."

Sayyiduna Abyad bin Hamaal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! What may I pick from the Pilu tree? So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That which the camel's feet cannot reach."

Marwan Ja'far narrates that my father told me that once in Kufa there was a disagreement between Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu'bah and Musqalah bin Hubayrah. Mughirah expressed pride before Musqalah regarding his closeness to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). So Musqalah said to him: By Allah! I have more right that he should be closer to me. Sayyiduna Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: Why is that? Musqalah said to him: The reason is that I left Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) among the Muhajirun, the Ansar, and the great people of Iraq, and I went to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and continued to fight with the sword alongside him, and he appointed me as governor, so I freed Banu Samah bin Lu'ayy for him, even though I had become the owner of their necks and their honor had become lawful for me. Whereas you were staying in Ta'if, enjoying yourself with your wives and playing with your children, your tongue was sharp, you were stingy, you did not care about kinship, but when the matter was settled, then you prevailed over us. Sayyiduna Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: By Allah! O Musqalah! Today you are saying these things, as for your leaving Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), you did so, but you did not do this out of love for the people of Sham, rather you did it out of hatred for the people of Iraq. As for your saying that you freed Banu Samah bin Lu'ayy, then a trustworthy companion of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) trusted you and freed them. By Allah! You did not attach yourself to them, nor did you free them from your own wealth. As for my staying in Ta'if, the reason is that Allah Almighty tested me with the trial of home and family, in which He did not test you, which is regarding wives. This is Allah Almighty's favor upon us, if you have shown enmity towards us, then Allah Almighty is watching you.
