The Deputation of Muharib
Volume 1, Parts II.74.15
He (Ibn Sad) said: Muhammad IbnUmar informed us; he said:
Muhammhd Ibn Salih related to me on the authority of Abu Wajazab alSa`di; he said:
The deputation of Muharib waited in the tenth year of the year of the last
pilgrimage (hajjat al-wada). There were ten members. Among them were
Sawa Ibn al-Harith and his son Khuzaymah Ibn Sawa so they were
lodged in the house of Ramlah Bint al-Harith. Bilal brought them meals
at noon and in the night. They embraced Islam and said: We are
representatives of those whom we have left behind us. In those days there
was none more rough and rude than them towards the Apostle of Allah,
may Allah bless him. There was a person in the deputation whom the
Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, recognized. He said: All praise be
to Allah who gave me a long span of life long and I testified to your truth.
Thereupon the Apostle of Allah, said: Lo! these hearts are in the hands of
Allah. He rubbed the face of Khuzaymah Ibn Sawa’ which began to shine
with light. He rewarded them as he used to reward the deputationists.
They returned to their families
