Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, teaching and noticed his fine
character, he also commented that he recited words that were not poetry (both Abu
Dharr and his brothers were poets). Abu Dharr said to his brother, “Your report does not
cover the information I need to know.” Thereupon, Abu Dharr took some provisions and
filled a water-skin to take with him on his journey to Mecca. When he entered the Sacred
Mosque he started to look for the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him,
but he was unable to locate him. Abu Dharr did not want to ask anyone about the
Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, and when night fell, he lay down to
6
sleep. Ali saw him and realized he was a stranger (and offered to host him) so Abu
Dharr accepted and accompanied Ali; neither of them asked each other any questions
until morning.
