A pious person says:

While living in Makkah Mukarramah, a friend of mine once came to me saying, “I have brought you a present.” He then said to one of his friends present, “Tell this man your story.” His friend then narrated the following incident:

When I left my home to perform Haj, a large group of friends and well-wishers came to bid me farewell, and many of them accompanied me to the outskirts of the village. From this group of people, one person requested me to convey his salaams to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and his two companions, Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat ‘Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) in Madinah Munawwarah. However, when I went to the Holy City of Madinah Munawwarah, I forgot to convey his salaams, and only remembered when we had departed from Madinah and had arrived at the first stop, Zul Hulaifah, to put on our Ihraam.
