Volume 1, Parts II.74.31
He (lbn Sa’d) said: Here the narration is linked with the narration of
Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali al-Qurashi, the chain being the same; they said:
The deputation of Bakr Ibn Wa’il waited on the Apostle of Allah, may
Allah bless him. A person from among them said: 0 Apostle of Allah! do
you know Quss Ibn Sai’dah? The Apostle of Allah said: He did not
belong to your tribe. He was of Iyad, and in the days of ignorance he was
inclined towards (truth of the cult of Ibrahim). He reached ‘Ukaz when
people had assembled there and said what has been memorized from
him. On the deputation there were Bashir Ibn al-Khasasiyah, ‘Abd Allah
Ibn Marthad and Hassan lbn Hawt. One of the sons of Hassan recited:
I am the son of Hassan Ibn Hawt and my father,
Was the messenger of the entire (tribe of) Bakr to the Prophets.
They said: ‘Abd Allah Ibn Aswad Ibn Shihab Ibn ‘Awf Ibn ‘Amr Ibn
al-Harith Ibn Sadus attended on the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless
him, with them. He resided at al-Yamamah, he sold whatever property he
had at al-Yamamah and migrated (from there). He attended on the
Apostle of Allah, with a bag of dates. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless him, invoked blessings for him.
