He would also say:" The last Hour and I have been sent like these two." and he would join his forefinger and middle finger; and would further say:" The best of the speech is embodied in the Book of Allaah, and the beet of the guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error."

Ibn 'Abbas reported: Dimad came to Mecca and he belonged to the tribe of Azd Shanu'a, and he used to protect the person who was under the influence of charm. He heard the foolish people of Mecca say that Muhammad (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) was under the spell. Upon this he said: If 1 were to come across this man, Allaah might cure him at my hand. He met him and said: Muhammad, I can protect (one) who is under the influence of charm, and Allaah cures one whom He so desires at my hand. Do you desire (this)? Upon this the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him, ask His help; and he whom Allaah guides aright there is none to lead him astray, and he who is led astray there is none to guide him, and I bear testimony to the fact that there is none worthy of worship (in truth) but Allaah, He is One, having no partner with Him, and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. Now after this he (Dimad) said: Repeat these words of yours before me, and the messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) repeated these to him thrice; and he said I have heard the words of soothsayers and the words of magicians, and the words of poets, but I have never heard such words as yours, and they reach the depth (of the ocean of eloquence) ; bring forth your hand so that I should take oath of fealty to you on Islam. So he took an oath of allegiance to him. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: It (this allegiance of yours) is on behalf of your people too. He said: It is on behalf of my people too. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) sent an expedition and the flying column passed by his people. The leader of the flying column said to the detachment: Did you find anything from these people? One of the people said: I found a utensil for water. Upon this he (the commander) said: Return it, for he is one of the people of Dimad.

He said: I have heard the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: The lengthening of prayer by a man and the shortness of the sermon is the sign of his understanding (of faith).
