He lodged us in a domed tent, and some of our allied brothers stayed with Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to come to us after the Isha prayer. Most of his talk consisted of complaints about Quraysh. He would say: "There is hardship in both places: in Makkah we were weak and helpless, and when we came to Madinah wars surrounded us, some going against us and some in our favour." One night he was late in coming. When he came, we said: "O Messenger of Allah! You were late in coming tonight!" He said: "Part of my daily routine of recitation remained incomplete, and I did not like to leave before completing it." We asked the Companions: "How much of the Qur'an did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recite daily?"

I pause and supplicate.
