Khalid al-Khadda’ says that once Abu al-Malih (may Allah have mercy on him) said to Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) that I and your father were present in the service of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he narrated to us this hadith: that he was present in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) presented him with a leather cushion filled with palm fibers, but I did not sit reclining on it, and that cushion remained lying between me and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
