They said: By Allāh, yes. He said: 'I adjure you by Allāh, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship are you aware that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: Whoever equips these (men), Allāh will forgive him, – meaning the army of Al-'Usrah (i.e., Tabūk) – so I equipped them until they were not lacking even a rope or a bridle? They said: 'By Allāh, yes. He said: O Allāh, bear witness, O Allāh, bear witness.'" (Hasan)

Yet today you are preventing me from drinking from it, so that I have to drink salty water.' They said: 'By Allâh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allâh and by Islam, are you aware that I equipped the army of Al-'Usrah (Tabûk) from my own wealth?' They said: 'By Allâh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allâh and by Islam, are you aware that when the Masjid became too small for the people and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: Who will buy the plot of the family of so and so and add it to the Masjid, in return for a better plot in Paradise? I bought it with my capital and added it to the Masjid? Yet now you are preventing me from praying two Rak'ahs therein.' They said: 'By Allâh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allâh and by Islam, Are you aware that when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was atop Thabîr – the Thabîr in Makkah – and with him were Abû Bakr, 'Umar and myself, the mountain shook, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ kicked it with his foot and said: Be still Thabîr, for upon you are a Prophet, a Ṣiddīq and two martyrs?' They said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'Allāhu Akbar! They have testified for me, they have testified for me, by the Lord of the Ka'bah' – i.e., that I am a martyr.'" (Hasan)
