It is narrated from Basar bin Saeed that he was in a gathering of the people of Banulais, where it was being mentioned that Sufyan told them that his horse became unable to walk in the valley of Aqeeq. At that time, he was in a detachment sent by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Due to his compulsion, he returned to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to get another mount. Those people mentioned that Sufyan said that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, went out with him to search for a camel for him. You found a camel with Abu Juham bin Hudhaifah Adawi, may Allah be pleased with him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, spoke to him to buy it, so he said: O Messenger of Allah! I do not give you this camel for a price, rather you may take it as you wish and grant it to whomever you wish. Sayyiduna Sufyan says: You took that camel from him and departed from there. When you reached Bi’ra Haab, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It is hoped that the population of Madinah will reach here, and it is hoped that the land of Shaam will be conquered. The people of Madinah will go there and they will like the prosperity there, although if they knew, residing in Madinah would be better for them. Then Iraq will be conquered, these people will return, driving their animals and along with their families and companions, will move there, although residing in Madinah would be better for them, if they knew this. Ibrahim, peace be upon him, prayed for blessings for the people of Makkah, and I pray to Allah Almighty that just as He blessed the people of Makkah, He may also bless our Saa’ and Mudd.
