I have witnessed a situation from Ibn Al-Aswad, and it is more beloved to me that I was the one in that situation than anything else. He came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) while he was invoking curses upon the disbelievers, and he said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, we will not say as the Children of Israel said to Moses: {..go, you and your Lord, and fight, we are staying right here} [Al-Ma'idah: 24] Rather, we will fight on your right and on your left. In front of you, and behind you. Narrator said: I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) shining, and that pleased him.
