Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) got off his animal, walked up to the lion and held its ears. He then twisted its ears, slapped its nape and moved it off the road. Thereafter, he said: “Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not lie to you. I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) say, “Only that which man fears will be given the upper hand over him and if he fears none besides Allah, Allah will not allow anything else to gain the upper hand over him. Man is also handed over to that which he entertains hopes in and if he pins his hopes in none other than Allah, Allah will not hand him over to anyone else.”
