One of the amazing stories of the sincere ones
is what occurred to the companion of the tunnel. The Muslims besieged a
fortress but it was difficult for them to attack the enemies. Then one of
the Muslims got up, dug a tunnel and the Muslims became victorious. He opened
the gate for the Muslims and they fought. No one recognized who the man was.
Meanwhile Maslamah wanted to know who the man
was in order to reward him, but when he cannot find him, he asked him in
Allaah’s Name to come and see him. So he (that is, the man) visited him in the
night and told him he will inform him who the man was on the condition that he
will never search for the person afterwards.
Then Maslamah promised him [he would abide by the condition]. So
he informed him that he was the man. Maslamah used to say: “O Allaah, resurrect
me in the company of the companion of the tunnel.” This is because he saw an
amazing sincerity in his action.
