Maytham was tied to the date palm trunk. Amru bin Huraith saw him. Amru remembered Maytham's words: I'll be your neighbour. Treat me kindly. So, Amru bin Huraith ordered one of his daughters to sweep the ground around the date-palm trunk. He also ordered her to splash it with water. A person looked at Maytham and said: Disown Ali to save your soul! Maytham said with a smile: By Allah, this date palm has been created for me! And I've been created for it! Thus, people knew the secret of Maytham's visit to the date palm throughout the long years.
