Al-Asma'i said, as in Ibn Rashid al-Fihri al-Sabti's Travels, Part 3, p. 288.
Al-Asma'i said: I went on Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah ﷻ.
A Bedouin's litter brushed mine, so I cursed and beat him, and he bore it.
I reached the Sacred House of Allah ﷻ.
There I saw the Bedouin clinging to the Kaaba's covering.
"My Lord, if You have forgiven me, then forgive whoever cursed and beat me."
"O Bedouin!"
Recognizing him, I said:
"We beat and reviled you, yet you pray for us?"
He glanced at me, then recited:
"The noble man is not angered by the lowly."
"Nor is the noble man angered by the base."
"If a vile man tries hard to insult me, I say, 'Give me more. The honor is mine.'"
