The Prophet (s), also, asked Amir ul-Mu'minin (a) to attach him to the previous. In this very time, the Archangel Gabriel descended and said to the Prophet (s): "Mohammed, your Lord sends His salaams to you and asks you not to kill this one, because he was well-mannered and openhanded with his people." The Prophet (s) shouted at Amir ul-Mu'minin: "Ali, stop it. The messenger of my Lord has just told me that this man was well-mannered and openhanded with his people." As he heard the Prophet's statement, the man who was under the edge of the sword wondered: "Was it the messenger of your Lord who told you of this?" The Prophet (s) said: "Yes, it was."
The man said: "By God I swear, I have never possessed a single dirham 26 while a brother of mine does not have it. I also have never frowned my face in warfare. I now declare that there is no god but Allah and you are surely the messenger of God." The Prophet (s) commented: "This is a man whose moral conduct and openhandedness have drawn him to the gardens of bliss." 27
