Volume 1, Parts II.74.51
He (lbn Sa’d) said: Muhammad Ibn ‘Umar informed us; he said: Musa
Ibn Ya’qub al-Zam’i related to me on the authority of his aunt, she on the
authority of her mother Kuraymah Bint al-Miqdad; she said:
I heard my mother Duba’ah Bint al-Zubayr Ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib saying:
The deputation of the Bahra consisting of thirteen members came from
al-Yaman. They came, leading their camels, till they reached the door of
al-Miqdad Ibn ‘Amr in Banu Jadilab. Al-Miqdad came out and hailed
them. He lodged them in his house. They approached the Prophet, may
Allah bless him, embraced Islam, learnt the obligatory duties (al-farà’id)
and stayed there for some days. Then they came to the Apostle of Allah,
to bid him farewell. He ordered them to be given rewards, then they
returned to their people.
