Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the delegation of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at al-Ji'ranah, they had already accepted Islam. They said: "We are of (your) roots and kinsfolk, and the trial that has befallen us is not hidden from you; so bestow your favour upon us, may Allah Almighty bestow His favour upon you." A man from the tribe of Hawazin, from the Banu Sa'd bin Bakr, whose name was Zuhayr and whose kunyah was Abu Surad, said: "O Messenger of Allah, our women are your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts and your nursing mothers who cared for you. Had we gone over to al-Harith bin Abi Shimr or al-Nu'man bin al-Mundhir, and then faced from him a situation like the one we are facing now, we would have hoped for his kindness and favour toward us; and you are the best of those who were cared for." Then he recited to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) verses that he had composed, in which he mentioned his kinship with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the care they had given the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he recited these verses: "O Messenger of Allah, bestow your favour upon us with generosity, for you are the man in whom we place our hope and for whose (kindness) we wait. Bestow your favour upon a community that destiny has held back, whose unity has been scattered and whose circumstances time has changed. Time has left us crying out in grief, with intense sorrow and distress upon their hearts, if you do not come to their aid by spreading mercy, O you who, when put to the test, are the weightiest of people in forbearance. Be kind to the women whose milk you drank, for pure milk filled your mouth from their milk, when you were a small child and used to drink their milk, when what they brought and what they left pleased you. Do not make us like one whose unity has been scattered, and let us remain, for we are a radiant people." The narrator states: After this he mentioned the full hadith.
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Ibn Ishaq, who is a mudallis, but he is thiqah (trustworthy). The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
