It has been revealed to me that you people will be subjected to a trial in your graves equal to or close to the trial of the Dajjal. Angels will come to you and ask, 'What do you know about this man?' So the believer will reply, 'He was Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and he came to us with clear miracles and guidance. We responded to his call and followed him (three times).' It will be said to him, 'We knew that you believed in this, so sleep in peace!' And as for the hypocrite, he will say, 'I do not know. I used to hear people saying something, so I said the same.'"

Because of this, I was given the name "Dhat an-Nitaqain" (the possessor of two waistbands).

I used to prepare fodder for his horse, provide for its needs, and take care of it. Similarly, I would break date stones for his camel, prepare its fodder, give it water, sew his bucket, and knead flour. I could not bake bread well, so some of my Ansari neighbor women would bake bread for me; they were true friends. Remember, I used to bring the date stones from the land of Hazrat Zubair, which the Prophet (peace be upon him) later granted him as a fief. I would carry them on my head, and that land was about two-thirds of a farsakh from our house. One day, I was coming from there with a bundle of date stones on my head when I met the Prophet (peace be upon him) on the way; some companions were also with him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) called me and made his camel kneel so that I could ride behind him, but I felt shy to go with men and remembered Zubair and his sense of honor, for he was a very honorable man. The Prophet (peace be upon him) sensed that I was feeling shy, so he moved ahead. When I reached home, I mentioned to Zubair that today I met the Prophet (peace be upon him); I had a bundle of date stones on my head, and some companions were with him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) made his camel kneel so that I could ride, but I felt shy and also thought of your sense of honor. He said, "By Allah, your carrying the bundle of date stones is harder on me than you riding with the Prophet (peace be upon him)." Eventually, Abu Bakr sent me a servant after a short time, and I was relieved of taking care of the horse, and it felt as if he had set me free.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) called for a date, chewed it, and put his saliva into the child's mouth. Thus, the very first thing that entered his stomach was the saliva of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave him tahneek with the date and prayed for blessings for him. And he was the first child born to the Muslims in Madinah Munawwarah.

So we set out from there, and upon reaching Mina, performed the stoning of Jamrah Aqabah, and after reaching our tent, offered the Fajr prayer. I said to her, "We left Muzdalifah while it was still dark." She replied, "Not at all, son. The Prophet (peace be upon him) has given permission for women to depart early."
