72. THE DELEGATION OF BANI FAZARAH
Al-Waqidi related that on the authority of Abu Wajzah As-Sa’di who narrated that when Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, returned from the expedition of Tabook, which was in the 9th year, the delegation of Banu Fazarah came to him. The delegation consisted of about ten delegates, among whom were Kharijah Ibn Hisn, Al-Harith Ibn Qais Ibn Hisn who was the youngest of them and was riding a lean animal. They came to confess their acceptance of Islam. Allah’s Messenger asked them about their land and one of them said: “O Messenger of Allah, our land has stagnated, our livestock have been destroyed and our farmlands have become arid and our family famished. Please supplicate to Allah for us.” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, climbed the minbar and supplicated: “O Allah, provide water for Your land and Your animals and spread Your Mercy and revive Your dead land. O Allah! Send down to us Your rain relieving, profuse, fertile, consistent, ample, instant and not delayed, beneficial and not destructive. O Allah! Grant us a rain that is merciful and not punitive, devastating, drowning and annihilating. O Allah! Send down rain on us and help us against the enemy.” Then it rained and it did not cease for a week. Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, once again ascended the minbar and supplicated: “O Allah! Around us and not upon us; on the hillock, rocks, the middle of the valley and the roots of trees.”
