The Deputation of Sad al-Ashirah
Volume 1, Parts II.74.72
He (lbn Sa’d) said: Hisham Ibn Muhammad informed us; he said: Abu
Kibran al-Muradi informed us on the authority of Yahya Ibn Urwah; he on the authority of Yahya Ibn Hani lbnUrwah, he on the authority ofAbd al-Rahman Ibn Abi Sabrah al-Jufi; he said:
When they heard the news of the departure of the Prophet, Dhubab, a
member of Banu Anas Allah Ibn Sa’d al-Ashirah fell upon an idol, belonging to Sad al-Ashirah, which was called Farrad, and demolished it. Then he waited in a deputation on the Prophet, may Allah bless him, embraced Islam, and said: I followed the Apostle of Allah when he brought guidance, And left Farrad in an abode of humiliation. I dealt a severe blow on him and left him. As if he never existed, and the world is full of misfortunes of life. When I saw Allah manifested His creed, I responded to the Apostle of Allah when he called me. I shall be a helper of Islam till I live, And I shall exert my strength and power for its might. Who will convey this message to Sa'd al-'Ashirah, That I have purchased what will endure for what will vanish?

the battle of Siffin, and he was satisfied.
