Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Khuraym bin Fatik (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Commander of the Faithful! Shall I not tell you how I accepted Islam?" He replied: "Yes!" He said: "Once I was wandering about in search of my animals. I was on their track when night fell at Abraq al-Iraq, and I called out in a loud voice: 'I seek refuge with the mighty one of this valley from the foolish ones of his people.' Meanwhile some unseen caller called out: 'Woe to you! Seek refuge with Allah, who is the Possessor of Majesty, the Possessor of Glory, the Giver of blessings, the Bestower of favour; recite verses from (Surah) al-Anfal, affirm the oneness of Allah Almighty and have no care about this.'" The narrator says: "I was terribly frightened. When I had collected myself, I said: 'O unseen caller! What are you saying? Is it guidance you have, or misguidance? Explain to us, if you have been guided, what the means of it is.' He replied: 'This is the Messenger of Allah, the possessor of good things. He is in Yathrib and calls to salvation; he commands prayer and fasting, and restrains people from evils.'" The narrator says: "My she-camel rose up, and I said: 'Guide me to the guidance that has been granted to you; may you never be hungry, nor in need of clothing, and may you remain ever fortunate as long as you remain; and do not show favouritism regarding the good you have been given.'" The narrator says: "Then he came after me, saying: 'May Allah Almighty keep you safe and keep your soul safe, bring you to your family and return your mount. Believe in him; my Lord will give success to your right. Help him; my Lord will grant you help.'" The narrator says: "Then I came to Madinah; this was on a Friday. I looked into the mosque, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came out to me and said: 'Come in! May Allah Almighty have mercy on you; news of your accepting Islam has already reached us.' I said: 'I do not know how to perform ablution; please teach me.' Then I entered the mosque. I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit; it seemed as though he were the full moon, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: 'Any Muslim who performs ablution and does it well, and then offers a prayer in such a way that he performs it with proper understanding, that person will enter Paradise.'" Then Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Either you bring proof of this, or else I will punish you." The narrator says: Then an elder of Quraysh, Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), bore witness to this, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted his testimony.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and in its chain (the text is incomplete here). (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The narrations about the incidents of the wolf, the lizard and the gazelle, which testified to the prophethood of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), will come in the account of the miracles, if Allah wills.
