When Muhammad was fleeing persecution and they were looking for him everywhere, Ali, his father-in-law, came up with a saving thought: he hid the prophet in a high basket that was worn on his head, placed this heavy burden on his head and walked, balancing, between the guards of the city gates.
- What's in your basket? - asked one of the guards.
“Prophet Muhammad,” Ali answered.
The guards were so stunned by this unexpectedly impudent answer that they laughed and let Ali through.
