spoke with comforting words saying: "O people, the most merciful of men to

Several homes had been built on to the external wall of the Mosque, and
like the apartments of the Prophet's wives, had doors opening into the

more saying: "I go before you, and I am your witness. Your meeting with
me is at the Pool (Kawthar). As I stand here, indeed I see it. I do not fear
for you on account of reversion to idolatry, rather, it is the world I fear for
you if you seek to vie with one another for its gain."
