Make me^saww to overcome Samama!’ So the Rasool Allah^saww said to him: ‘I^saww give you one of three choices. I^saww could kill you’. He said, ‘Then you^saww would have killed a great person’. He^saww said: ‘I^saww could ransom you’. He said, ‘Then you^saww would find me to be expensive’. He^saww said: ‘Or I^saww give safety to you’. He said, ‘Then you would find me to be thankful’. He^saww said: ‘So I^saww give safety to you’. He said, ‘I hereby testify that there is no god except Allah^azwj, and you^saww Muhammad^saww are the Rasool Allah^saww, and by Allah^azwj, I knew you^saww were the Rasool Allah^saww when I saw you^saww, and I did not testify by it whilst I was in bondage’.
