"It was narrated from Muhammad ibn 'Imarah ibn Khuzaymah ibn Thabit that he said: 'Amr ibn Ma'd Yakrib said to Qays ibn Makshuh al-Muradi when the matter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had reached them: 'O Qays, you are the chief of your people today. It has been mentioned to us that a man from Quraysh called Muhammad has come out in the Hijaz saying that he is a prophet. Come, let us go to him until we know his knowledge. If he is a prophet as he says, he will not be hidden from us, and when we meet him we will follow him. If it is otherwise, we will know his knowledge. For if a man from your people reaches him first, he will become our leader and lord over us, and we will be his followers.' Qays refused and mocked his opinion. 'Amr ibn Ma'd Yakrib rode with ten men of his people until he came to Madinah, embraced Islam, then returned to his land. When news of 'Amr's departure reached Qays ibn Makshuh, he threatened 'Amr and raged against him, saying: 'He opposed me and abandoned my opinion.' 'Amr kept saying: 'O Qays, I warned you that you would become a follower of Farwah ibn Musayk.' Farwah kept pursuing Qays ibn Makshuh with every effort until he fled from his land, and afterward he embraced Islam. When al-'Ansi appeared, Qays feared for himself, so he kept coming to him and greeting him, concealing within himself what he intended and disclosing it to no one, until he entered upon him when Fayruz al-Daylami had bound his neck and turned his face to his back, and killed him. Qays dragged his head and threw it to his companions. Then he feared the people of al-'Ansi, so he attacked Dadhawayh and killed him, to please them by that. Dadhawayh had also been among those present at the killing of al-'Ansi. Abu Bakr wrote to al-Muhajir ibn Umayyah: 'Send Qays to me in chains,' so he sent him. 'Umar spoke with him about killing him and said: 'Kill him for the righteous man,' meaning Dadhawayh, 'for this is a transgressing thief.' Qays kept swearing that he had not killed him, so Abu Bakr made him swear fifty oaths by the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he had not killed him and knew of no killer, and then he pardoned him. 'Umar used to say: 'Had it not been for Abu Bakr's pardon of you, I would have killed you for Dadhawayh.' Qays would say: 'O Commander of the Believers, by Allah, you have made me afraid! No one hears this from you but he becomes bold against me, and I am innocent of his killing.' 'Umar then ceased mentioning him, and when he sent him with the armies, he would order that he be consulted and not given the authority to decide any matter, saying: 'He has knowledge of war, but he is not trustworthy.'"
