عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِأَسِيرٍ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ وَلَا أَتُوبُ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ لِأَهْلِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aswad bin Sari’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that a prisoner was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The prisoner said: O Allah! I repent to You, I do not repent to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This prisoner has recognized the truth for its rightful owner.
