On his return from Tabuk, a deputation of al-Dariyin waited on the
Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him. They were ten persons consisting
of (1) Tamim; (2) Nu’aym sons of Aws Ibn Kharijah Ibn Sawad Ibn
Jadhimah lbn Darra’ Ibn ‘Adi Ibn al-Dar lbn Hani Ibn Habib Ibn
Numarah Ibn Lakhim; (3) Yazid Ibn Qays lbn Kharijah; (4) al-Fakih Ibn
al-Nu’man Ibn Jabalah Ibn Saffarah [al-Waqidi says, Saffarah while
Hisham says Saffar] Ibn Rabi’ah Ibn Darra’ Ibn ‘Adi Ibn al-Dar; (5)
Jabalah lbn Malik Ibn Saffarah; (6) Abu Hind; (7) a1-Tayyib sons of
Dharr who was (also called) ‘Abd Allah Ibn Ruzayn Ibn ‘Immit Ibn
Rabi’ah Ibn Darra’; (8) Hani Ibn Habib; (9) `Aziz and (10) Murrah sons
of Malik Ibn Sawad Ibn Jadhimah. They embraced Islam and the
Apostle of Allah changed the name of al-Tayyib to ‘Abd Allah and that of
‘Aziz to ‘Abd al-Rahman. Hani Ibn Habib offered as present a cask of
wine, horses and a qaba embroidered with gold. He (Prophet) accepted
only the horses and the qaba and gave the letter to al-‘Abbas Ibn ‘Abd alMuttalib, who said: What shall I do of this? He said: Remove the gold
and make ornaments of your women-folk, or give it in charity, and then
sell the dibaj (silk) and get its price. Al-‘Abbas sold it to a Jew for eight
thousand dirhams. Tamim said: In our neighbourhood there are Romans
who own two villages one of which is called Hibra and the other Bayt
‘Aynum; if Allah blesses thee with the victory of Syria please make a gift
of them to me. He said: They are yours, when Abu Bakr came to power,
he conferred them on him and executed a document. The deputation of alDariyin stayed there till; the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him,
breathed his last. He left a will giving them one hundred wesaqs (of
grain).
