Shu'ayb bin Ruzayq al-Ta'ifi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I was sitting with Sayyiduna al-Hakam bin Hazn al-Kulafi (may Allah be pleased with him), who had the honour of the companionship of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he began narrating to us, saying: "I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as one of a delegation of seven or nine people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us permission, so we entered and said: O Messenger of Allah, we have come to you so that you may supplicate for good and blessing for us. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for good for us and gave orders concerning us, and we were given lodging. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered some dates for us, while in those days circumstances were rather straitened. We stayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for some days and there we attended the Friday prayer. the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood leaning on a bow or a staff, and praised and extolled Allah Almighty with very fine, brief and blessed words, then he said: 'O people, you will never be able to do everything you have been commanded, but take the right course and keep close (to the truth by moderation).'"
