ACCOUNT OF THE DEPUTATIONS OF THE ARABS TO THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH, MAY ALLAH BLESS HIM-:The Deputation of Bariq

The Deputation of Bariq
Volume 1, Parts II.74.91
They said:
The deputation of Bariq came to the Apostle of Allah. He invited them to
embrace Islam. They embraced Islam and offered bay’ah. The Apostle of
Allah wrote for them: This is an epistle from Muhammad, the Apostle of
Allah, to the Bariq, that their fruits will not be gleaned nor cattle will be
grazed in spring or summar except with the permission of the Bariq. If a
Muslim passes by them in search of grass or because of absence of
pasture land, it will be their duty to entertain him for three days. When
their fruits grow ripe, a traveller can pick up as much as his stomach can
contain, but he cannot carry (them with him). Abu Ubaydah Ibn alJarrah and Hudhayfah lbn al-Yaman witnessed it and Ubayyi Ibn Kab
scribed it.
