I was a young boy running about with the other children when I turned around and saw the Prophet of Allah ﷺ coming up behind me. I thought to myself, "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ must have come for none other than me."So I ran off to hide behind the door of a house, but before I knew it, he had caught up with me. He grabbed me by the back of the neck and gave me a playful shove, then said, "Go and call Muawiya for me." Muawiya was his scribe.So I ran off and said, "Answer the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, he needs you."
