✧ He set out with his maternal cousin Mu'adh b. 'Afra' until they reached Makkah. When they descended from the mountain pass, they saw a man under a tree. This was before the coming of the six Anṣari men. When we saw him, we spoke to him and said, 'We will go to this man and leave our mounts with him while we circumambulate the House.' We greeted him with the greeting of the pre-Islamic ignorance, and he replied with the greeting of the people of Islam. We had heard about the Prophet ﷺ, so we objected and said, 'Who are you?' He said, 'Dismount.' We dismounted and said, 'Where is the man who claims and says what he says?' He said, 'I am he.' I said, 'Then present to me,' and he presented Islam to us and said, 'Who created the heavens, the earth, and the mountains?' We said, 'Allah created them.' He said, 'Who created you?' We said, 'Allah.' He said, 'Who made these idols that you worship?' We said, 'We did.' He said, 'Is the Creator more deserving of worship or the created? You are more deserving that they worship you, since you made them, and Allah is more deserving that you worship Him than something you made. I call to the worship of Allah, to the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, to maintaining ties of kinship, and to abandoning aggression by usurping people's property.' We said, 'No, by Allah, even if what you call to were false, it would be among the noblest of matters and the best of morals. Hold our mounts until we go to the House.' Mu'adh b. 'Afra' sat with him. I went to the House, circumambulated, brought out seven arrows, and assigned one of them to him. I faced the House and said, 'O Allah, if what Muhammad calls to is true, then make his arrow come out seven times.' I cast them, and his arrow came out seven times. I affirmed, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' People gathered around me and said, 'A madman! A man has turned renegade.' I said, 'Rather, a believing man.' Then I went to the upper part of Makkah. When Mu'adh saw me, he said, 'Rifa'ah has come with a face like none he left with.' I came and believed, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught us Surah Yusuf and 'Read in the name of your Lord who created.' Then we departed returning to Madinah. When we were at al-'Aqiq, Mu'adh said, 'I have never come to my family at night, so stay with us until morning.' I said, 'I will not stay while I have with me what I have of news.' Rifa'ah's custom was that when he went on a journey and returned, he would present himself to his people.
