458. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Zurara, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far that: ‘Samama Bin Asaal was captured by the cavalry of the Prophet ﷺ and the Rasool Allah ﷺ had said; ‘Our Allah (azwj)! Make me ﷺ to overcome Samama!’ So the Rasool Allah ﷺ said to him: ‘I ﷺ give you one of three choices. I ﷺ could kill you’. He said, ‘Then you ﷺ would have killed a great person’. He ﷺ said: ‘I ﷺ could ransom you’. He said, ‘Then you ﷺ would find me to be expensive’. He ﷺ said: ‘Or I ﷺ give safety to you’. He said, ‘Then you would find me to be thankful’. He ﷺ said: ‘So I ﷺ give safety to you’. He said, ‘I hereby testify that there is no god except Allah (azwj), and you ﷺ Muhammad ﷺ are the Rasool Allah ﷺ, and by Allah (azwj), I knew you ﷺ were the Rasool Allah ﷺ when I saw you ﷺ, and I did not testify by it whilst I was in bondage’.
