كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) خَلِيطٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ ( عليه السلام ) لَقِيَهُ خَلِيطُهُ فَقَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ خَلِيطٍ خَيْراً فَقَدْ كُنْتَ تُوَاتِي وَ لَا تُمَارِي فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ أَنْتَ فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ خَلِيطٍ خَيْراً فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرُدُّ رِبْحاً وَ لَا تُمْسِكُ ضِرْساً .
Translation
From him, from Musa Bin Ja’far Al Baghdady, from Ubeydullah Bin Abdullah, from Wasil Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘There used to be for the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, a social contact during the pre-Islamic period. So when he<sup>saww</sup> was Sent (Declared his<sup>saww</sup> Prophet-hood), his<sup>saww</sup> social contact met him<sup>saww</sup>. So he said to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Recompense you<sup>saww</sup> with goodness, because as a compassion you agreed and did not argue’. So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said to him: ‘And you, so may Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Recompense you with goodness, from a social contact, for you never rejected a profit nor did you grit your teeth (harsh)’.
