He ((bn Sad) said: Muhammad Ibn 'Umar informed us; he said: Usamah Ibn Zayd related to me on the authority of Zayd Ibn Talhah alTaymi; he said: Ibn Sa'd's Fifteen members of al-Ruhawiyin, who form a tribe of Mudhhij, arrived before the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, in the tenth year. They stayed in the house of Ramlah bint al-Harith. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, came and talked to them for a long time. They offered presents to the Apostle of Allah, including a horse, known as al-Mirwah. He ordered it to be tried by riding, which was done before him (Prophet); and he liked it. They embraced Islam, learnt al-Qur'an and the obligotory duties. He rewarded them as he used to reward the members of the deputations. Their leading members received twelve and a half uqiyahs (of silver) and those of lower rank received five uqiyahs. Then they returned to their bands. Subsequently a few of them came to alMadinah and accompained the Apostle of Allah, ma} Allah bless him, on Hajj. They stayed there (al-Madinah) till the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, died. He left a will giving them one hundred wasaqs of the produce of Kbaybar under the head of Army. He executed a document in their favour which they sold in the days of Mu'awiyah.

The Apostle of Allah, prepared a flag for him, under which he fought at
Siffin on the side of Mu’awiyah. He said about his coming to the Prophet,
may Allah bless him:
0 Apostle of Allah! I directed my beast towards you.
It crosses deserts, even land bordering mountains, one after
the other.
I tire it by making it go in the night. And it has the litter of
wooden logs (on its back).
Sometimes it bends down under my luggage and sometimes
raises its neck.
You (0 beast!) will not have any rest unless you reach.
The door of the Hashimite, the guided Prophet.
Then I shall release you from journeying after this journey.
Crossing forests and remaining wakeful, throughout night.
Hisham said: al-talajluj means that it sits down not to rise again.
A poet sang:
Who will convey (this message) to the sweet heart, that her husband.
Masad Ibn Madh’ur hesitated because of faithlessness.
