Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O group of Quraysh! Allah, the Exalted, will surely send a man from among you. Indeed, Allah has chosen his heart for faith. So he will kill you, or he said: he will strike your necks. Then Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Am I that person? The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: No. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Am I that person? The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: No, rather it is the one who mends shoes. And the Prophet (peace be upon him) had given a shoe to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in which he had put a patch.
