"I die even as a camel dies. I die in bed, in shame. May the eyes of cowards never find rest in sleep!"

"You could not die in battle", replied his friend. "You must understand that when the Messenger of Allah, on whom be the blessings of Allah and peace, named you Saifullah - the Sword of Allah, he predetermined that you would not fall in battle.
