The Story of the Prophet Muhammad feeding the man who would kill him

The man's name was Tsumamah bin Itsal and he came from the Al Yamamah Tribe. He went to Medina with the intention of killing the Prophet. He felt that the Prophet had messed up the Arab world with the new religion he brought. He prepared everything, including the weapons that would be used to kill.
The news reached the ears of Umar bin Khattab. When Tsumamah arrived at the city gate, she was met by Umar bin Khattab. Asked nicely, but Tsumamah, who was already covered with anger, asked Umar to fight. A fight ensues. And finally, he lost. Tsumamah was finally arrested by Umar.
Tsumamah was overwhelmed against the mighty Umar. His weapon was confiscated and his hands were tied, then he was taken to the Prophet's place.
The Prophet immediately went out to meet the person who wanted to kill him. When he arrived at the place, he observed Tsumamah's face carefully.
"Have any of you fed him yet?" asked the Prophet turning to the friends around him.
Suddenly, it made the friends surprised. They looked at each other, including Umar who looked at the Prophet, implying a question.
Then, Umar also dared to ask, "O Messenger of Allah, this person has come to kill you, not to join our religion. What food do you mean by that?”
But the Prophet seemed to ignore Umar's objections and the astonished views of other friends. In fact, he said, "Immediately fetch milk from my house."
He also told his friends to untie Tsumamah who was drooping, weak and helpless. Umar hurried to drink. Soon, it came. Then the glass was taken and given to Tsumamah.
"Say Laa ilaha illa-Llah (There is no god but Allah)," asked the Prophet politely.
Tsumaha looked at the Messenger. "I won't say it!" He shook his head.
The companions of the Messenger who also witnessed of course became furious. But the Messenger of God told Tsumaha to go. Tsumamah got up and turned her back on the Messenger. Walk. One step, two steps, three steps. Then he turned his face back to the Messenger.
He sat down, facing the ground. Soon, he raised his face again and looked at the Prophet's face.
"O Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," he said.
The friends were amazed. Rasulullah just smiled and told him to stand up.
"Why didn't you say it when I asked you?" asked the Prophet.
“Forgive me, my lord. I didn't say it when you still haven't released me, I'm worried that someone will think that I have converted to your religion because I'm afraid. I'm not afraid, but my heart melts. After you free me, I want to convert to Islam solely because of Allah."
Takbir's voice also shouted.
