Abu Ishaq said: I was owed a debt by a man from Kindah, and I used to go to him repeatedly in the early hours before dawn. One day the time of the Fajr prayer came upon me in the mosque of al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him), so I prayed. When the imam gave the salam, a suit of clothes, a pair of sandals and five hundred dirhams were placed in front of every person. I said: I am not one of the people of this mosque. They said: Even if you are not one of the people of this mosque. I asked: What is this? The people said: Al-Ash'ath bin Qays has come back from Makkah.
