He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Muhammad Ibn ‘Umar al-Aslami informed us on the
authority of ‘Abd Allah Ibn Abi Yahyá al-Aslami, he on the authority of
one who informed him; he said:
‘Urwah Ibn Ma’sud and Glaylan Ibn Salamah were not present at the
time of the siege of al-Ta’if. ‘They were at Jurash undergoing the training
of al-arradat (catapults) al-mayjaniq (ballista) and at-dabbabat (testudo).
They came when the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, had returned
from al-Ta’if. They set al-mayjaniq, al-‘arradat and al-dabbabàt and
made arrangements for fighting. Then Allah revealed (the truth) of Islam
to ‘Urwah, and changed him from what he was. He set out and came to
the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, and embraced Islam. Then he
asked the permission of the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, to go
back to his people, to preach Islam among them. He (Prophet) said: They
will fight with you. He (‘Urwah) said: l am dearer to them than their only
sons. Then he asked his permisson the second time and then the third
time. He (Prophet) said: If you so desire you may go. He set out and
travelled to al-Ta’if for five days. He reached there at ‘Isha’ (early hours
of night) and entered his apartment. His people came and greeted him
after pagan fashion, He said: Make it your custom to greet like the
dwellers of paradise i.e. al-Salam. He invited them to join the fold of
Islam. They went out from there and held a consultation about him.
When it was morning he went to the upper story of the house and called
the adhan. The Thaqifites came out from all sides and a member of Banu
Malik, who was called Aws Ibn ‘Awf, shot him with an arrow which
piereced his wrist-vein and the blood did not stop. Ghaylan Ibn Salamah,
Kinanah Ibn ‘Abd Yalil, al-Hakam Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Wahb and other chiefs
of the allies rose up and put their armours on and assembled together.
When Urwah noticed it, he said: I absolve of my blood the person who
sprinkled it, so that there may be peace among you. This is an honour
that Allah has bestowd on me. It is martyrdom to which Allah has led me.
And he said: Bury me by the side of the martyrs who fell fighting with
the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him. He expired and they buried
him along with them. This news reached the Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless him, and he said: His example is the example of the companion of
Yasin, who called his people to Allah and they killed him.
Abu al-Malib Ibn ‘Urwah and Qarib Ibn al-Aswad Ibn Masud met
the Prophet, may Allah bless him, and they embraced Islam. The Apostle
of Allah, inquired about Malik Ibn ‘Awf. They said: We left him at alTa’if. He (the Prophet) said: Tell him, that if he comes to me as a Muslim
I shall return to him his family and wealth, and I shall give him one
hundred camels. He attended upon the Apostle of Allah and he gave him
all that and said: 0 Apostle of Allah, I am enough for Thaqif on your
behalf. I shall rob their animals until they come as Muslims to you. The
Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, appointed him the chief of those of
his people who had embraced Islam. He used to rob the animals of the
Thaqif and fight them. When the Thaqif saw this, they went to ‘Abd Yálil
and consulted among themselves about sending a deputation to the
Apostle of Allah. Thereupon ‘Abd Yalil, his sons, Kinanah and Rabi’ah,
Shurahbil Ibn Ghaylan Ibn Salamah, al-Hakam Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Wahb
Mu’attib, ‘Uthman ibn Abi al-‘As, ‘Aws Ibn Awf, and Numayr Ibn Kharashah Ibn Rabi'ah set out with seventy men, and these six were their chiefs. Some of them say that they were between thirteen and nineteen, and this is more authentic. Al-Mughirah Ibn Shubah said: I
was in the company of the Muslims at Dhu Hurud, whenUthman Ibn Abi al-'As met me and began to obtain information from me. When l saw him, I set out to convey the good news of their arrival to the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him. I happened to meet Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, and I conveyed the news of their arrival to him. He said: I bind you in oath, do not convey the news of their arrival to the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, before I do. He came and informed the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, and he was much pleased by their arrival. He made the allies of al-Mughirah Ibn Shu'bah board with him and he honoured them. The Prophet, may Allah bless him, pitched a tent in the mosque for those who belonged to Banu Malik. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, used to come to them every night after the 'isha' prayers and talked to them standing, reclining on his feet alternately. He complained of the Quraysh and talked about the fighting that was between him and them. Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him, made peace with the Yhaqif. They were taught the Qur'an, and 'Uthman Ibn Abi al-As was appointed their ‘amil. The Thaqif
offered an excuse for (not) demolishing al-Lat and al-Uzza (idols). He
excused them. Al-Mughirah said: I was the person who demolished them.
Al-Mughïrah said: They joined the fold of Islam, and I do not know of
any other Arab family or tribe of being more faithful to Islam, and more
remote from treachery towards Allah and His Book than they.
