84. THE DELEGATION OF BANU SULAIM
A man from Banu Sulaim known as Qais Ibn Nushbah came to Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him). He listened to Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), and asked him questions on a number of things to which he responded. Allah’s Messenger invited him to Islam andhe accepted. He returned to his people, Banu Sulaim, and addressed them saying: “I have listened to the Roman memoirs, the subtleties of the Persians, the poetry of the Arabs, the divination of the soothsayers, and the words of the chieftains of Yemen; none of them resembles the words of Muhammad. So follow me so that you may take your own portion from him.” In the year of the Conquest, Banu Sulaim, numbering 700, set out and met the Messenger of Allah, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), at Qudaid. It is also said they were 1,000 in number among whom was Al-‘Abbas Ibn Mirdas and a number of their dignitaries, and they accepted Islam.
