Il a demandé la lettre du Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) et, après l’avoir lue, il y a eu un grand tumulte autour de lui, les voix se sont élevées et on nous a demandé de quitter les lieux. Une fois dehors, j’ai dit à mes compagnons : ‘La cause d’Ibn Abi Kabsha est devenue évidente, car même le roi des Bani Al-Asfar a peur de lui.’ »
