"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Mecca, some people from the Quraysh came to him and said, 'O Muhammad, we are your allies and your people. Our messengers have caught up with you, who have no interest in Islam. They have only fled from work. So send them back to us.' Abu Bakr consulted with the Prophet about their matter. The Prophet asked Umar, 'What do you think?' He replied, 'The same as Abu Bakr.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O people of Quraysh, Allah will soon send among you a man from among yourselves who will test the sincerity of your hearts towards faith. He will bring your necks in submission to the religion.' Abu Bakr asked, 'Is it me, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'No.' Umar asked, 'Is it me, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'No, but he is one who repairs sandals in the mosque.' He used to mend the Prophet's sandals and later gave them to Ali to mend. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, I have heard him say, "Do not lie about me. Whoever lies about me will enter the Fire."'" – Sound Chain per Muslim
