UNIT 4: Short Story

Julaybib was on an adventure with Muhammad in which a fight with some non-Muslims began. When the battle finished, Muhammad asked his companions: "Have you lost anyone?" They replied giving the names of relatives or close friends who were killed. Another group answered that they had lost no close relatives whereupon Muhammad said, "But I have lost Julaybib. Search for him in the battlefield." They searched and found him beside seven enemies whom he had killed before meeting his end. Muhammad went to the place where Julaybib lay and standing over him he said, "He killed seven and then was killed? This [man] is of me and I am of him."
