We stayed with him for twenty days and nights. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was merciful and gentle. When he thought that we had grown fond of our families or were missing them, he asked us who we had left behind. We informed him. He said: He mentioned some things which I remember, or perhaps do not remember .
