The Deputation of Daws
Volume 1, Parts II.74.92
They said:
When al-Tufayl lbn Amr al-Dawsi embraced Islam, he invited his people and they embraced Islam. Seventy or eighty members of his family came with him to al-Madinah, Abu Hurayrah andAbd Allah 1bn Uzayhir alDawsi being among them. The Apostle of Allah was then at Khaybar.
They proceeded thither and met him there. It has been mentioned to us
that the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, allotted their shares from
the booty of Khaybar. Then they came with him to al-Madinah. AlTufayl Ibn ‘Umayr said: 0 Apostle of Allah! do not separate me from my
people. He lodged them at Harrah al-Dujjaj. Abu Hurayrah said about
his emigration when he set out from the abode of his people.
0 traveller by night and bearing its (journey’s) hardship!
Verily, it delivered me from the town of non-believers.
`Abd Allah Ibn Uzayhir said: 0 Apostle of Allah! I command respect
and hold a position among my people so appoint me (their
administrator). The Apostle of Allah said: 0 brother Daws! verily, Islam
started in poverty and shortly it will return to the humble position.
Consequently he who testifies to truth, will receive salvation and he who
inclines to other than this will perish. Verily, the greatest of your people
in getting reward will be one who is greatest in sticking to truth and
surely the right will dominate over falsehood.
