The arrival of Rifāʿah b. Zayd al-Judhāmī
قُدُومُ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْجُذَامِيِّ [ إِسْلَامُهُ وَحَمْلُهُ كِتَابَ الرَّسُولِ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ ] وَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي هُدْنَةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، قَبْلَ خَيْبَرَ، رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْجُذَامِيُّ ثُمَّ الضُّبَيْبِيُّ، فَأَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غُلَامًا، وَأَسْلَمَ، فَحَسُنَ إسْلَامُهُ، وَكَتَبَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كِتَابًا إلَى قَوْمِهِ. وَفِي كِتَابِهِ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ؛ هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، لِرِفَاعَةِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ. إِنِّي بَعَثْتُهُ إلَى قَوْمِهِ عَامَّةً، وَمَنْ دَخَلَ فِيهِمْ، يَدْعُوهُمْ إلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ، فَمَنْ أَقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ فَفِي حِزْبِ اللَّهِ وَحِزْبِ رَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ أَدْبَرَ فَلَهُ أَمَانُ شَهْرَيْنِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رِفَاعَةُ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ أَجَابُوا وَأَسْلَمُوا، ثُمَّ سَارُوا إلَى الْحَرَّةِ: حَرَّةِ الرَّجْلَاءِ، وَنَزَلُوهَا.
Translation
✧ The arrival of Rifāʿah b. Zayd al-Judhāmī — his conversion and his carrying the letter of the Messenger to his people — Rifāʿah b. Zayd al-Judhāmī, then al-Ḍubaybī, came to the Messenger of God ﷺ during the truce of al-Ḥudaybiyah, before Khaybar. He gave the Messenger of God ﷺ a slave as a gift and converted, and his conversion was excellent. The Messenger of God ﷺ wrote him a letter to his people. In his letter: “In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. This is a letter from Muḥammad, the Messenger of God, to Rifāʿah b. Zayd. I have sent him to his people generally, and to whoever enters among them, summoning them to God and to His Messenger. Whoever of them accepts is in the party of God and the party of His Messenger, and whoever turns away has safety for two months.” When Rifāʿah came to his people, they responded and converted. Then they journeyed to the Ḥarrah, the Ḥarrah of al-Rajlāʾ, and alighted there.
