70. THE DELEGATION OF BANU ASAD
Al-Waqidi related that in the beginning of the 9th year, the delegation of Banu Asad came to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. They were ten delegates among whom were Dirar Ibn Al-Azwar, Wabisah Ibn Ma‘bad, Tulaihah Ibn Khuwailid who would later claim prophethood but would eventually return back to Islam and became a good Muslim, and Nuqadah Ibn ‘Abdullah Ibn Khalaf. Their leader, Hadramee Ibn ‘Amir said: “O Messenger of Allah, we have come to you under the pitch-dark night in a cold season but you did not send envoys to us. Concerning them, the following Verse was revealed: Count not your Islam as a favor upon me. Nay, but Allah has conferred a favor upon you, that He has guided you to the Faith, if you indeed are true. (Soorah Al-Hujurat 49:17)
Among them was a tribe known as Banu Zinyah and The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, changed their name saying: “You are Banu Rishdah” Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had asked Nuqadah Ibn Abdullah Ibn Khalaf to direct him to a camel that is good for riding and milking without any offspring with her. He sought and found (such a camel) with one of his cousins and brought it to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who ordered that it be milked. He drank out of it, gave the remainder to him and then said: “Allah, bless it and the one who has bestowed it.”
