The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muḥammad Mustafa sa sa sa. When I saluted the Holy Prophet" his face was aglow with joy and he said: 'Be happy with the best one of all your days that have passed since your mother gave you birth. ' I said: 'Messenger of Allah, is this from you or from Allah? He answered: 'It is indeed from Allāh. ' It was usual with him that his happy face glowed as if it were a segment of the moon, which we took as a signal that he was pleased. I then submitted to him: 'Messenger" of. Allāh, to complete my repentance I would like to give up all my possessions as charity in the cause of Allāh and His Messenger. ' He said: 'Hold back part of it; that would be better for you. ' On which I said: 'I shall hold back that portion which is in Khaibar. ' Then I submitted: 'Messenger of Allah! Allah the Exalted, has delivered me only because I adhered to the truth, and it is part of my repentance that for the rest of my days I shall speak nothing but the truth. ' Ever since I declared this before the Holy Prophet", Allāh the. Exalted, has not tried anyone so well in the matter of telling the truth as He has tried me. To this day, since my declaration, I have never had any inclination to tell a lie, and I hope that Allāh will continue to safeguard me against it during the rest of my days. sa.
