It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ told Abdullah ibn Abdullah Ibn Ubayy of his father's boast:
"If we return to Al-Madinah, indeed the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner." Abdullah responded, asserting, "You are indeed the honorable one, and he is the meaner one."
He then stood at Al-Madinah's gate with a sword, preventing his own father from entering until the Prophet ﷺ gave him explicit permission to step aside.
This demonstrates the extraordinary height of the Companions' loyalty.
