have received." The retainer covered him with his cloak.[1]<br />

In that state Muhammed asked for water, but none gave him water to drink except a man from<br />

Khuresan. The man went to him and gave him water to drink. Shortly after that, al‐Mansur passed<br />

by them, so 'Abd Allah b. al‐Hasan reminded him of the favors and kindness of his grandfather the<br />

Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, toward al‐'Abbas, al‐Mansur's grandfather, when he<br />
