beware of deviation in the sanctuary of Allāh, for I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say (and he mentioned it). He said: "So see that it is not you, O Ibn ʿAmr! For you have read the scriptures and accompanied the Messenger (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), and I bear witness that this is my direction to Syria as a warrior."
