The arrival of the delegation of Hamdān
[ كِتَابُ الرَّسُولِ بِالنَّهْيِ لأهل جناب ] فَكَتَبَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كِتَابًا فِيهِ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ. هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ، لِمِخْلَافِ خَارِفٍ وَأَهْلِ جَنَابِ الْهَضْبِ وَحِقَافِ الرَّمْلِ، مَعَ وَافِدِهَا ذِي الْمِشْعَارِ مَالِكِ بْنِ نَمَطٍ، وَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، عَلَى أَنَّ لَهُمْ فِرَاعَهَا وَوِهَاطَهَا، مَا أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوْا الزَّكَاةَ، يَأْكُلُونَ عِلَافَهَا وَيَرْعُونَ عَافِيَهَا، لَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ عَهْدُ اللَّهِ وَذِمَامُ رَسُولِهِ، وَشَاهِدُهُمْ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ. فَقَالَ فِي ذَلِكَ مَالِكُ بْنُ نَمَطٍ: ذَكَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي فَحْمَةِ الدُّجَى وَنَحْنُ بِأَعْلَى رَحْرَحَانَ وَصَلْدَدِ وَهُنَّ بِنَا خُوصٌ طَلَائِحُ تَغْتَلِي بِرُكْبَانِهَا فِي لَاحِبٍ مُتَمَدَّدِ عَلَى كُلِّ فَتْلَاءِ الذِّرَاعَيْنِ جَسْرَةٍ تَمُرُّ بِنَا مَرَّ الْهِجَفِّ الْحَفَيْدَدِ حَلَفْتُ بِرَبِّ الرَّاقِصَاتِ إلَى مِنًى صَوَادِرَ بِالرُّكْبَانِ مِنْ هَضْبِ قَرْدَدِ بِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِينَا مُصَدَّقُ رَسُولٌ أَتَى مِنْ عِنْدِ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مُهْتَدِي فَمَا حَمَلَتْ مِنْ نَاقَةٍ فَوْقَ رَحْلِهَا أَشَدَّ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ وَأَعْطَى إذَا مَا طَالِبُ الْعُرْفِ جَاءَهُ وَأَمْضَى بِحَدِّ الْمَشْرَفِيِّ الْمُهَنَّدِ
Translation
✧ [The Messenger's letter prohibiting the people of Janāb] So the Messenger of God ﷺ wrote them a letter, in which was: In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. This is a letter from the Messenger of God, Muḥammad, to the mikhlāf of Khārif and the people of Janāb al-Haḍb and Ḥiqāf al-Raml, with their delegate Dhū al-Mishʿār Mālik b. Namaṭ and those of his people who have submitted, on condition that they shall have its summits and lowlands as long as they establish prayer and give zakāh, eating its fodder and pasturing its protected land. For that they have the covenant of God and the protection of His Messenger, and their witnesses are the Emigrants and the Helpers. Mālik b. Namaṭ said concerning that: I remembered the Messenger of God in the blackness of darkness While we were on the heights of Raḥraḥān and Ṣaldad, And they were with us, lean and weary camels, That speed on with their riders along a stretched, clear road, On every long-forearmed, strong she-camel, That passes us with the passing of a fleet-footed ostrich. I swore by the Lord of the dancing camels going to Minā, Returning with riders from the highland of Qardad, That the Messenger of God is among us, one to be believed, A Messenger who came from the Lord of the Throne, guided. No she-camel has carried on her saddle One more severe upon his enemies than Muḥammad. And he gives when a seeker of kindness comes to him, And he cuts with the edge of the Mashrafī, Indian-forged sword.
