"From ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ḥassān al-Kinānī: Muslim b. al-Ḥārith b. Muslim al-Tamīmī narrated to me that his father narrated to him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent them out in a raiding party. He said: When we reached al-Ghubār, I urged my horse on and got ahead of my companions, and the tribe met us wailing. I said to them: Say: there is no god but Allah, and you will be set free. They said it. My companions came and blamed me, and they said: You have deprived us of the spoils after they had become cool in our hands. When we returned, they mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He called me and approved of what I had done, and he said: Indeed, Allah has written for you such and such for every person among them. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said: I have forgotten that. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Indeed, I will write you a document, and I will commend you to whoever comes after me among the leaders of the Muslims. So he did, sealed it, and handed it to me. He said: And he said to me: When you pray the morning prayer, say before you speak to anyone: O Allah, protect me from the Fire, seven times. For if you die that day, Allah will write for you a safe-conduct from the Fire. And when you pray the Maghrib, say before you speak to anyone: O Allah, protect me from the Fire, seven times. For if you die that night, Allah will write for you a safe-conduct from the Fire. He said: When Allah took His Messenger, I brought the document to Abū Bakr; he broke the seal, read it, ordered something for me, and sealed it. Then I brought it to ʿUmar and he did the same. Then I brought it to ʿUthmān and he did the same. Muslim b. al-Ḥārith said: Al-Ḥārith died during the caliphate of ʿUthmān, and the document remained with us until ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz took office. He wrote to an official in our region to send Muslim b. al-Ḥārith b. Muslim al-Tamīmī to him with the document of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ which he had written for his father. So I travelled with it to him, and he read it, ordered something for me, and sealed it."
