It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) (as reported by his son Kindir bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him)) that he related: I performed Hajj in the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), and there I saw a man who was circumambulating the House (of Allah) and reciting these lines of rajz verse: 'Rudda 'alayya rakibi Muhammada, ruddahu li wastani' 'indi yada' (O Allah, return my rider Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to me; send him back to me and do me this favour). I asked who this was, and the people said that this was Abd al-Muttalib bin Hashim; some of his camels had gone missing, so he had sent his grandson to search for them, but now he was late in returning, although whatever task he sent him for, he would only return having accomplished it well. The narrator says: I was still there when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived bringing the camels, and Abd al-Muttalib said (out of intense love): "O my dear son, this time I felt such grief at your absence that it will never leave me."
