عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ مُسَيْكٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُقَاتِلُ بِمُقْبِلِ قَوْمِي مُدْبِرَهُمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَمْ فَقَاتِلْ بِمُقْبِلِ قَوْمِكَ مُدْبِرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ لَا تُقَاتِلْهُمْ حَتَّى تَدْعُوَهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ سَبَأً أَوَادٍ هُوَ أَوْ جَبَلٌ مَا هُوَ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا بَلْ هُوَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وُلِدَ لَهُ عَشَرَةٌ فَتَيَامَنَ سِتَّةٌ وَتَشَاءَمَ أَرْبَعَةٌ تَيَامَنَ الْأَزْدُ وَالْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ وَحِمْيَرٌ وَكِنْدَةُ وَمَذْحِجٌ وَأَنْمَارٌ الَّذِينَ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ بَجِيلَةُ وَخَثْعَمُ وَتَشَاءَمَ لَخْمٌ وَجُذَامٌ وَعَامِلَةُ وَغَسَّانُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Urwah bin Masik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Can I take the Muslims from my tribe and fight against those from my tribe who have not accepted Islam? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, absolutely, take the Muslims from your tribe and fight against the disbelievers from your tribe. Then, when I was about to leave, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me back and said: Do not fight them until you have invited them to Islam. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion about Saba’? Is it the name of a valley or a mountain? What is it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, rather it was a man, and he had ten sons. Six of them settled in Yemen and four in Syria. Those who settled in Yemen are Azd, Ash‘ari, Himyar, Kindah, Madhhij, and Anmar. Regarding the last, it is said that Bajilah and Khath‘am are also from them. And those who settled in Syria are Lakhm, Judham, ‘Amilah, and Ghassan.
