that speech from him (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) occurred in poetic form without intention, and this is not considered poetry, as the ḥāfiẓ clarified in "al-Fatḥ" (10/541-542), so refer to it as it is important.*

"You will continue to be in goodness as long as there is among you someone who saw me and accompanied me. By Allāh!
