Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that they were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and they passed by a grave. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the grave of Abu Righal, who was from the people of Thamud. When Allah destroyed his people with what He destroyed them with, he was spared because he was in the Sanctuary. Then he left it, and when he reached this place he died, and he was buried, and his golden rod along with him." So we hastened and took it out from there.
