PERSEVERANCE AND DEDICATION

526

“There were six Companions who accompanied the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, on a campaign, and due to the shortage of transport, they took turns to ride the only camel they had. Their feet were badly cut and their toe nails broken, so they bound their feet in rags and that is how the campaign became known as the Campaign of Rags. Abu Musa related this, but regretted having done so because he hated disclosing anything concerning his deeds.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Burdah who related that Abu Musa Ash'ari said this.
