Sayyiduna Bashir bin al-Khasasiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and caught up with him (peace and blessings be upon him) at al-Baqi', and I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Peace be upon the believing inhabitants of these dwellings." The strap of my sandal broke, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Lift your foot?"
I said: O Messenger of Allah, my time of living alone has grown long and I have become far from the home of my people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Bashir, do you not praise the One who chose you from among the tribe of Rabi'ah, a people who think that were it not for them, the earth would have overturned with all who are on it?"
