And by this chain, from Abaan, from Uqba Bin Basheer Al-Asady, from Al-Kumeyt Bin Zayd Al-asady who said: ‘I came up to Abu Ja’far (asws), so he (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj), O Kumeyt, if we (asws) had in our (asws) possession some wealth, we (asws) would have given you from it, but for you is what the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) said to Hassan Bin Sabit: ‘The Holy Spirit will not cease to be with you so long as you defend us (saww)’.

I said, ‘Inform me about the two men (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. He (the narrator) said: ‘He (asws) took the pillow and folded it unto his (asws) chest’ and said: ‘By Allah (azwj), O Kumeyt, there is no blood spilled unlawfully, nor any wealth taken without right, and not stone turned from another stone except that it would be upon their necks’.
