The first pledge of al-Aqabah and the beginning of the Ansar's entry into Islam
[ إرْسَالُ الرَّسُولِ مُصْعَبًا مَعَ وَفْدِ الْعَقَبَةِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ الْقَوْمُ، بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَهُمْ مُصْعَبَ بْنَ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَاشِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الدَّارِ بْنِ قُصَيٍّ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُقْرِئَهُمْ الْقُرْآنَ، وَيُعَلِّمَهُمْ الْإِسْلَامَ، وَيُفَقِّهَهُمْ فِي الدِّينِ، فَكَانَ يُسَمَّى الْمُقْرِئَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ: مُصْعَبٌ. وَكَانَ مَنْزِلُهُ عَلَى أَسْعَدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ عُدَسَ، أَبِي أُمَامَةَ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْأَوْسَ وَالْخَزْرَجَ كَرِهَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يَؤُمَّهُ بَعْضٌ. فَنَزَلَ مُصْعَبٌ عَلَى أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ فَكَانَ يُسَمَّى بِالْمَدِينَةِ الْمُقْرِئَ.
Translation
✧ [ The Messenger's sending Muṣʿab with the delegation of al-ʿAqabah ] Ibn Isḥāq said: When the people departed from him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent with them Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr b. Hāshim b. ʿAbd Manāf b. ʿAbd al-Dār b. Quṣayy, and commanded him to recite the Qur'an to them, teach them Islam, and instruct them in the religion. He was called "the reciter" in Madinah: Muṣʿab. His lodging was with Asʿad b. Zurārah b. ʿUdas, Abū Umāmah. Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah narrated to me that he used to lead them in prayer; that was because the Aws and the Khazraj disliked some of them leading others in prayer. So Muṣʿab stayed with Asʿad b. Zurārah, and he was called in Madinah "the reciter."
