"عَنْ عمْرَان بن حُصَيْن قَالَ: قَدِم وَفْدُ بَنِى نَهْد بن زَيْدٍ عَلَى رسَوُلِ الله ﷺ فَقَامَ طُهيهَة بن أَبِى زُهَيْر النَّهْدِى بَيْنَ يَدَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُول الله أَتَينَاكَ مِنْ غَوْرى تُهَامَةَ عَلَى اكْوَارٍ الْمَيْسِ ترتمى بِنَا الْعِيس، ونَسْتَجلِب الصَّبير، وَنَسْتَجِلبُ الخَبِيرَ، ونَسْتَعْضِدُ الْبَرِيرَ، وَنَسْتَخِيلُ الرِّهَامَ ونَسْتَجِيلُ الجِهَامَ مِنْ أَرْضِ غَائِلَة النِّطَا، غَلِيظَة الوَطَا قَدْ نَشِفَ الْمُدْهُنُ، وَيَبِسَ الجعثن، وَسَقَطَ الأَمْلُوجُ مِنَ الْبِكَارَة، وَمَاتَ الْعُسْلُوج، وَهَلَك الْهَدْى وَمَاتَ الْوَدى، برئنا يَا رسُولَ الله مِنَ الْوَثَنِ والعنن، وَمَا يحدثُ الزَّمَن، لَنَا دَعْوة الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَشَرِيعَةُ الإِسْلَامِ مَا طَمَا الْبَحْرُ وَقَامَ تِعَارٌ وَلَنَا نعمٌ هَمَلٌ أغْفَال، لَا تَبِضُ بِبِلَال وَوَقِير كَثِيرُ الرسل قليلُ الرِّسْلِ أصَابَنَا سنية حَمْرَاء مُؤْزلَة، لَيْس لَهَا عَلَلٌ وَلَا نَهَلٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُم فِى مَحْضِهَا ومَخْضِهَا، وَمَذْقِهَا وَفَرْقِها، وَاحْبِس رَاعِيَها عَلَى الدَّثَرِ وَيَانِعِ الثَّمر، وَافْجُر لَهُم الثّمْدَ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُمٌ فِى الْوَلَدِ، مَنْ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا، وَمْن أَدَّى الزَّكَاةَ لَمَ يكُن غَافِلًا، وَمَن شِهَد أَن لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله كَانَ مُسْلِمًا، لَكُم يَا بَنِى نَهْدٍ وَدَائِعُ الشرك، وَوَضَائِعُ الْملك، ما لَم يَكُن عَهْدٌ وَلَا مَوْعِد وَلَا تَثَاقَل عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَلَا تُلْطِط فِى الزَّكَاةِ، وَلَا تُلْحِد فِى الْحَيَاةِ، مَنْ أقرَّ بِالإسْلَامِ فَلَهُ مَا فِى الكِتَابِ، وَمَنْ أقرَّ بِالْجِزيَةِ فَعَلَيْه الرُّبْوَةُ، وَلَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ الله الْوَفَاءُ بِالْعَهْد وَالذِّمَّةِ".

"From Imran ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him): A delegation of the Banu Nahd ibn Zayd came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Tuhayhah ibn Abi Zuhayr al-Nahdi stood before the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we have come to you from the depths of Tihamah, upon the saddles of the camels, with the camels racing us along, and we seek out the (rain-)clouds, and we seek out the one who knows, and we seek the help of the (mountain) shrub, and we pursue the thunder and the cloud that brings no rain, from a land of perils and rough footing. The oil has dried up, the withered grass has become dry, the young shoots have fallen from the fresh growth, the lote-tree has died, the herbs have perished, and the grazing has been lost. We have renounced, O Messenger of Allah, idolatry and the worship of stones, and what time brings. For us is the call of the Muslims and the law of Islam for as long as the sea rises and the rain-clouds stand. We have herds that are left to graze without being watched, which the rope does not tie down. Heavy with many weights, few in number of beasts, a red drought has struck us, which leaves no trace and no drinking water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Allah, bless them in their milk, its churned butter, its mixed drink and its curds. Hold their herdsman back for the pastures and the ripe fruit. Make the water wells gush forth for them, and bless them in their children. Whoever establishes the prayer is a believer, whoever pays the zakat is not heedless, and whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah is a Muslim. For you, O Banu Nahd, are the remnants of polytheism and the remains of the kingdom, as long as there is no covenant or appointed agreement. Do not neglect the prayer, do not be stingy with the zakat, and do not deviate in life. Whoever acknowledges Islam will have what is in the Book, and whoever acknowledges the jizyah, upon him is the tax (rubwah), and he has from the Messenger of Allah the fulfilment of the covenant and the protection.'"
