Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba reported that a man said, "May Allah make
the amir thrive! Your chamberlain recognises certain men and gives them
preference in permission to enter." He said, "May Allah excuse him! Recognition is beneficial (dealing) with a vicious dog and attacking camel."
Abu't-Tufayl reported, "I saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, divide the meat at al-Ji'rana. At that time, I was
a boy who carried the joint of the camel (after it had been sacrificed).
A woman came to him and he spread out his robe for her. I asked, 'Who is
this?' The reply was, 'This is the woman who suckled him.'"
