who was one of the companions of Allah’s Apostle and one of the Ansar’s who took part in the

and His Apostle know better. We have seen him helping and advising hypocrites.”
Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say, ‘None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah’ for Allah’s sake only.”
