It is narrated from Bilal Absi, he says: Imran bin Husayn Dabi told us that he went to Basra, at that time Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was the governor there. He saw a man standing in the shade of the palace, repeatedly saying this phrase: "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth." I approached him and said: You are repeatedly saying that Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth, what is the reason for this? He said: By Allah! If you wish, I can explain the reason for this. I said: Yes, of course. He said: Then sit down. It was at such and such a time that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was present in Madinah Munawwarah. I wanted to go to him. There were two elders of a tribe, their son had joined the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They said to me that you are going to Madinah Munawwarah, our son has joined that person, you should request our son from him, and if he demands ransom, you should pay it. I reached Madinah Munawwarah and presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: O Prophet of Allah! The two elders of such and such tribe have told me that their son who is with you, I should request him from you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Will you deliver him? I said: Yes, I know his lineage. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called the boy and said: This is the boy, take him to his parents. I submitted: O Prophet of Allah! How much is his ransom? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permissible for us, the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), to eat by taking the price of anyone from the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hand on my shoulder and said: I have no concern regarding the Quraish except that they will attack one another. I submitted: O Prophet of Allah! What will happen to them that they will do so? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you live long, you will see that people will go between the groups of these Quraish like sheep that go between two ponds, sometimes coming to this pond and sometimes to the other pond. Then I saw people seeking permission to visit Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and that year I saw that they were seeking permission to go to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Seeing this scene, I remembered the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
