Jab wo wapas aaye (jang se), unhone ye baat Nabi (SAW) ko bataayi. Nabi (SAW) ne (unse) kaha, 'Unse pucho wo aisa kyun karte hain.' Unhone unse pucha aur usne kaha, 'Main aisa isliye karta hoon kyunke isme Rehmaan (Allah) ki khoobiyon ka zikr hai aur mujhe isse (apni namaz mein) padhna pasand hai.' Nabi (SAW) ne (unse) kaha, 'Unhein bataao ke Allah unse mohabbat karta hai.'
