They said: Mutarrif Ibn al-Kahin al-Bàhili waited in a deputation on the
Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, after the Victory (of Makkah) on
behalf of his people. He embraced Islam and asked for security for his
people. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, wrote for hun an
epistle in which the obligations of sadaqát were enumerated. Then
Nahshal Ibn Malik al-Wa’ili’, a man of Báhilah waited on the Apostle of
Allah, may Allah bless him, in a deputation on behalf of his people. He
embraced Islam and the Apostle of Allah wrote an epistle for him and for
his people who had embraced Islam, enumerating in it the laws of Islam.Uthman IbnAffan scribed it.
