Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) thereafter engaged in trade. During this time, a person started arguing with Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). While arguing, the man said to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), “Swear an oath by the idols of Laat and ‘Uzza.” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “I have never taken an oath by Laat and ‘Uzza. In fact, even if I incidentally pass by these idols, I do so while turning away from them and staying far from them.” Hearing this, the man replied, “Undoubtedly, you are right.” In other words, you are truthful and trustworthy. The man then commented, “By Allah! This is the man whose description and qualities our ‘Ulama find recorded in their manuscripts.”

Maysarah says, “During the afternoon, when the heat would be intense, I would notice two angels shading Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).”
