In his own words, Abu Dharr narrates, “The groups then broke up and the people began
to beat me until they left me like a red idol, thinking they had killed me. When I regained
consciousness, I went to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him. When
he saw my condition he said, “Did I not forbid you?” I replied, “O Messenger of Allah, it
was a need in my heart that I had to fulfill,” and I stayed with the Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him. One day he said to me, „Go back to your people and
come to me when you hear I am victorious.”
