55. THE ARRIVAL OF FARWAH IBN MUSAIK AL-MURADI
Ibn Ishaq related that Farwah Ibn Musaik Al-Muradi went to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, leaving the kings of Kindah. Just before the advent of Islam, a battle called Ar-Radm had taken place between Murad and Hamdan in which Murad lost many of its men. The leader of Hamdan in the battle was Al-Ajda’ Ibn Malik.
Ibn Ishaq added that when Farwah headed toward Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, abandoning the kings of Kindah he said: “When I saw the kings of Kindah appearing like the infracted limb, with my camel, I approached, betaking myself to Muhammad in quest of his generosity and fortune.”
When Farwah came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, he asked him: “Farwah, are you distressed at what had happened to your people at the Battle of Ar-Radm?” He replied: “Allah’s Messenger, who would not feel upset when his people suffer a similar defeat as the one my people suffered?” The Messenger of Allah said: “Nevertheless, in Islam, your people will not record an increase except in goodness.” Then he appointed him over all of Murad, Zubaid and Madhhij and sent with him Khalid Ibn Sa’eed Ibn Al-‘As to collect the alms. Khalid remained with him until the death of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
