Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that some people from among the Arabs came and said: "Take us to this man. If he is a prophet, we will be the most fortunate of people because of him, and if he is a king, we will live in his shelter." I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him (peace and blessings be upon him) what they had said. Then they came to the apartments of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began calling out: "O Muhammad! O Muhammad!" The narrator said: So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Indeed, those who call you from behind the apartments, most of them do not understand" [Al-Hujurat: 4]. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of my ear and said: "O Zayd, Allah has confirmed the truth of your words."
