The Deputation of ‘Ugayl Ibn Kab Volume 1, Parts II.74.19 He (Ibn Sad) said: Hisham Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Sa’ib informed us; he
said: A member of Banu ‘Uqayl informed us on the authority of the old
men of his tribe; they said:
A deputation of our people Banu, ‘Uqayl, consisting of Rabi Ibn
Mu’awiyah Ibn Khafajah Ibn ‘Amr Ibn ‘Uqayl, Muttarrif Ibn ‘Abd Allah
Ibn al-A’lam Ibn Amr Ibn Rabiah Ibn ‘Uqayl and Anas Ibn Qays Ibn
al-Muntafiq Ibn Amir Ibn 'Uqayl waited on the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him: They offered bayah to him and embraced Islam and
offered bay’ah on behalf of those of their people who were behind them.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him, gave them al-Aqiq-‘Aqiq Banu
‘Uqayl. It was a tract cf land in which there were springs and date palms.
He wrote a document in their favour on tanned leather.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful. This is what
Muhammad the Apostle of Allah gave to Rabi’, Mutarrif and Anas. He
gave them al-‘Aqiq till (as long as) they offered prayers and paid zakah,
paid regard (to his commands) and obeyed him he did not give them any
of the rights of Muslims. The document (kitab) was with Mutarrif.
He (Ibn Sad) said: Also Laqit IbnAmir Ibn al-Muntafiq Ibn ‘Amir
lbn ‘Uqayl and he was the father of Razin waited on him in a deputation,
so he gave him a spring [P. 46] which is called al-Nazim and he offered
bay’ah on behalf of his people.
He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Abu Harb lbn Khuwaylid Ibn Amir Ibn 'Uqayl came before him the Prophet). The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, recited the Qur'an before him and preached Islam to him. He said: By Allah, either you have met Allah or you have met one who has met Him, and what you say is equal to which we have not heard. But I shall cast arrows against what you call me to accept and against my present creed. He cast arrows and it fell against infidelity, then he repeated and again it was against it. He cast it thrice, then he said to the Apostle of Allah: This also says what you declare. Then he returned to his brother 'Iqal Ibn Khuwaylid and said: May your virtue diminish, have you any liking for Muhammad Ibn 'Abd Allah who calls to Islam, recites the Qur'an and has given me al-Aqiq provided I become Muslim. Iqal said to him: I shall demarcate more for you than what Mubammad has demarcated for you. Then he (Abu Harb) mounted his horse, took his spear and went to the lower al-Aqiq and captured the lower part with
the spring which was there. Then Iqal came to the Apostle of Allah, may
Allah bless him. He presented Islam to him and began to say: Do you
bear witness that Muhammad is His Apostle. He said: ‘I bear witness that
Hubayrah Ibn a1-Nufadah proved to be a good horseman on the day of
Qarnay Labán. Then he said: Do you bear witness that Muhammad is
the Apostle of Allah? He said: I bear witness that pure (milk or wine) is
beneath the foam. Then he said to him the third time: Do you bear
witness? He (Ibn Sad) said: He bore witness and embraced Islam. He (Ibn Sad) said: Ibn al-Nufadah was Hubayrah Ibn Muàwiyah Ibn Ubàdah Ibn ‘Uqayl, and Muáwiyah was a horseman of al-Harrar. AlHarràr was the name of his horse. Laban is a place and khaysuka means khayruka. They said: Al-Husayn Ibn al-Muallà Ibn Rabi’ah Ibn ‘Uqayl and
Dhu a1-Jawshan a1-Dibabi came before the Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless bim, and embraced Islam
