He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Mubammad Ibn ‘Umar al-Aslami informed us; he
said: ‘Abd Allah Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Zuhayr informed us on the authority of
Abu al-Huwayrith; he said:
The deputatian of Tujib waited on the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless
him, in the ninth year, and they were thirteen men. They had brought
with them the sadaqat on their wealth, which Allah has ordained. The
Apostle of Allah was much pleased with them, he said: Hail to you! He
lodged them in a good mansion and brought them close to him. He asked
Bilal to take great care of their hospitality and pay them good rewards.
He gave them more than what he was accustomed to give to the
deputations. He asked: Has any one of you remained? They said: A
youth, whom we have left with our luggage, and he is the youngest of us
in age. He said: Send him to me. The youth came before the Apostle of
Allah, may Allah bless him, and said: l am a member of the tribe which
has waited on you just now, and you have satisfied their requirements,
now satisfy my requirements (also). He said: What is your requirement?
He said: Pray to Allah to parden me, show me mercy and place
contentment in my bosom. Thereupon he said: O Allah! forgive him,
show him mercy and bestow contentment in his bosom. Then he ordered
him to be given equal to what he had given to every man among his
companions. They set out, returning to their people. Then a party of
sixteen men met the Apostle of Allah at Mina during the season of
pilgrimage. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, asked about the
youth. They said: We have not seen (any person) more contented than
him with what Allah bestows on him. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless him, said: I wish, all of us die like him!
