The Deputation of Zubayd
Volume 1, Parts II.74.45
He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Muhammad Ibn ‘Umar informed us; he said: ‘Abd
Allah Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Zuhayr related to me on the authority of
Muhammad Ibn ‘Umarah Ibn Khuzaymah Ibn Thábit; he said:
‘Umar Ibn Ma’dï-Karib al-Zuhaydi arrived at al-Madinah in the
company of ten persons of the Zubayd and inquired: Who is the chief of
this pond of Banu ‘Amr Ibn ‘Amir? He was said: Sa’d Ibn ‘Ubadah. He
proceeded on his camel till he reached the door of his house. Sa’d Ibn
‘Ubadah came out, hailed him and ordered his luggage to be brought
down. He respected and entertained him. Then he took him to the
Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him. He and his companions embroced
Islam and stayéd for several days. Then the Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless him, gave him a reward. He returned to his place and lived with his
people who had become Muslims. When the Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless him, passed away, he became apostate; then he rejoined the fold of
Islam. He displayed great valour on the day of the battle of al-Qadisiyah.
