51. THE STORY OF DAWS AND AT-TUFAIL IBN ‘AMR
On the authority of Abu Hurairah who narrated: At-Tufail Ibn ‘Amr came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and said, “O Allah’s Messenger! The tribe of Daws has disobeyed (Allah and His Messenger) and refused (to embrace Islam), so invoke Allah’s wrath on them.” The people thought that the Messenger would invoke Allah’s wrath on them, but he said: “O Allah! Guide the tribe of Daws and bring them (to us).” Al-Bukhari related it exclusively with these wordings from Qais on the authority of Abu Hurairah who narrated: When I was coming to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, I said on the way, “Oh what a long, tedious and tiresome night; nevertheless, it has rescued me from the place of heathenism.” A slave-boy of mine ran away. When I reached the Prophet I gave him the oath of allegiance (for Islam), and while I was sitting with him, suddenly the slave-boy appeared. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to me: “Abu Hurairah! Here is your slave.” I said: “He is (free) for Allah’s sake,” and I manumitted him.
This is what Al-Bukhari related concerning the arrival of At-Tufail Ibn ‘Amr which was probably before the Hijrah and if his arrival occurred after the Hijrah, then it occurred before the Conquest because the Daws arrived along with Abu Hurairah, and Abu Hurairah’s arrival coincided with the time Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, besieging Khaibar. Abu Hurairah set out until he came to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, at Khaibar after the Conquest and he gave to them some of the booty.
