“Sometimes I remember the words of the poet when I was looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the pulpit. He did not come down until all the waterspouts in Al-Madinah were filled with rain. And I remember what the poet said:

‘He has a white complexion and rain is sought by virtue of his countenance,

He cares for the orphans, and protects the widows,

These are the words of Abu Talib.”
