Chapter 39: Mentioning of the story of al-Ṭufail Ibn `Amr al-Dausee<br />

Muḥammad Ibn Is-ḥaaq رمحه ‏ُاهلل mentioned the story of al-Ṭufail’s conversion to Islaam<br />

without a chain of narration.<br />

<strong>Al</strong>-Ṭufail was an honored and respected chief of the tribe of Daus. He came to Makkah<br />

where he was met with the chiefs of Quraish, who warned him about the Messenger of<br />

<strong>Al</strong>laah ‏,ﷺ and forbade him to meet him or to listen to his speech… 304<br />

Narrated Abu Hurairah ‏:رضيُاهللُعنه al-Ṭufail Ibn `Amr al-Dausee and his companions came<br />

to the Prophet ﷺ and said: “O <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ‏!ﷺ The people of the tribe of<br />

Daus disobeyed and refused to follow you; so invoke <strong>Al</strong>laah against them.” [The<br />

Prophet ﷺ faced towards the Qiblah and raised his hands (in supplication)],<br />

thereupon the people said: “The tribe of Daus is ruined.” The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝O<br />

<strong>Al</strong>laah! Give guidance to the people of Daus, and bring them (to Islaam).❞ 305<br />

304 [TN: The rest of narration was omitted by Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee because it is a “Mursal” narration.]<br />

305 Musnad Aḥmad (7315, 9784, 10526), Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (2937, 4392, 6397), Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim (2524-197)<br />

[TN: It is narrated on the authority of Jaabir that al-Ṭufail Ibn `Amr al-Dausee came to the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />

and said: “Do you need strong, fortified protection?” (Jaabir said): The tribe of Daus had a fort in the ﷺ<br />

Jaahiliyyah. The Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ declined this offer, since it (the privilege of protecting the Prophet) had<br />

already been reserved for the Anṣaar. When the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ migrated to al-Madeenah, al-Ṭufail Ibn<br />

`Amr also migrated to that place, and there also migrated along with him a man of his tribe. But the climate of al-<br />

Madeenah did not suit him, and he fell sick. He felt very uneasy. So he took hold of an iron head of an arrow and<br />

cut his finger-joints. The blood streamed forth from his hands, till he died. <strong>Al</strong>-Ṭufail Ibn `Amr saw him in a dream.<br />

His state was good and he saw him with his hands wrapped. He (al-Ṭufail) said to him: What treatment did your<br />

Lord accord to you? He replied. <strong>Al</strong>laah granted me pardon for my migration to the Apostle ‏.ﷺ He (al-Ṭufail)<br />

again said: What is this that I see you wrapping up your hands? He replied: I was told: We would not set right<br />

‏.ﷺ anything of yours which you damaged yourself. <strong>Al</strong>-Ṭufail narrated this (dream) to the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />

Upon this he ﷺ prayed: ❝O <strong>Al</strong>laah I grant pardon even to his hands.❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim (116-184)]]<br />
