(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ) عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ قَالَ: قَدِمَ وَفْدُ أَحْمَسَ وَوَفْدُ قَيْسٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”ابْدَءُوا بِالْأَحْمَسِيِّينَ قَبْلَ الْقَيْسِيِّينَ.“ وَدَعَا لِأَحْمَسَ، فَقَالَ: ”اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِي أَحْمَسَ وَخَيْلِهَا وَرِجَالِهَا.“ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ.
. (Second chain) It is narrated from Tariq bin Shihab, he says: A delegation of people from Banu Ahmas and Banu Qais came to the service of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Begin with Banu Ahmas before Banu Qais. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, supplicated seven times in favor of Banu Ahmas: "O Allah! Bless Ahmas, their cavalry, and their foot soldiers."
