This is the one I have been looking for.’ I then returned to Dawud ibn al-Abbass and said to him, ‘O commander, I have found what I was searching for. I testify that no one deserves to be worshipped and obeyed besides Allah -azwj and I testify that Muhammad -saww is the Messenger of Allah -saww .’ ‘The narrator has said that he treated and helped me with kindness and asked al-Husayn to look after me.
