- Once Hadhrat Salman (RA) came to the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alahi wasallam) and saw AbdAllah Ibn Zubayr (RA) drinking something from a tray. In the meantime, He (sallallahu alahi wasallam) asked whether he had done the work assigned to him. He replied in the affirmative. Hadhrat Salman (RA) submitted, What was that work O Prophet of Allah?, He (sallallahu alahi wasallam) replied: I had given him the water after washing blood of my incision to be thrown away: He (Salman) revealed, I swear by the power who sent you with truth that he (AbdAllah) had drunken that water. On enquiry from the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alahi wasallam) he admitted it. Why did you do so? he (sallallahu alahi wasallam) asked. I liked to keep your blood in my stomach Ibn Zubayr (RA) replied. Hearing this, the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alahi wasallam) spread his hand over Ibn Zubayrs (RA) head and said, People will be harmed by you and you will be harmed by people (i.e., you will be martyred) and the people fighting you will suffer penalty. The fire of Hell will not have an access to you but the promise of Allah is to be fulfilled. [Al-Haytami, Vol. 8, Page. 270....Abu Nuaym in Al-Hilya, Vol.??
