It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the spoils of Hunayn at the place of Ji'ranah. People gathered around him and crowded upon him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty sent one of His servants as a messenger to his people. When his people denied him and wounded his head so that it was covered in blood, he would wipe the blood from his forehead and say, "O my Lord! Forgive my people, for they do not know the reality." Abu Wa'il says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is as if I am seeing the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioning that servant and at the same time gesturing as if wiping his own forehead.
