"O you who have believed, remember the favor of Allah upon you when a people intended to extend their hands against you, but He withheld their hands from you." Al-Hasan said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in Batn Nakhl besieging Ghatafan, while he was wearing his sword. A man came to him whom the Quraysh had sent to assassinate the Messenger of Allah; he said: "O Muhammad, show me this sword of yours so that I may look at it." He replied: "Take it." He took it and began looking at the sword one moment and at the Messenger of Allah the next. He then said: "Do you not fear me, O Muhammad?" He replied: "No." So he sheathed his sword, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded his companions to depart."
