Volume 1, Parts II.74.16 He (Ibn Sad) said: Muhammad lbn Umar informed us; he said: Abu Bakr IbnAbd Allah [P. 44] Ibn Abi Sabrah related to me on the
authority of Sharik Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abi Namr, he on the authority of Kurayb, he on the authority of IbnAbbas; he said:
The Banu Sad Ibn Bakr sent Diman lbn Thalabah in Rajab of the fifth
year in deputation to the Apostle of Allah. He was brave, had thick hair
and two locks. He came and he stayed with the Apostle of Allah, may
Allah bless him. He put a question very rudely to him (Prophet) He
asked: Who commissioned you and with what He has commissioned you?
He asked about the dogmas of Islam. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless him, replied to him. He returned to his people as Muslim
abandoning partners (of Allah) and informed them what he (Prophets)
commanded and what he prohibited. Hardly had evening of the day come
when every man and woman in his presence embraced Islam. They
erected a mosque and recited Adhan.
