Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 16062

وَعَنْ نَافِعٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ قَالَ : وَفَدَ الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ سَاوَى مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَتَّى أَتَى مَدِينَةَ الرَّسُولِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمَعَ الْمُنْذِرِ أُنَاسٌ ، وَأَنَا غُلَيْمٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ أَمْسِكُ جِمَالَهُمْ .
قَالَ : فَذَهَبُوا بِسِلَاحِهِمْ فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَوَضَعَ الْمُنْذِرُ سِلَاحَهُ ، وَوَضَعَ ثِيَابًا كَانَتْ مَعَهُ وَمَسَحَ لِحْيَتَهُ بِدُهْنٍ ، فَأَتَى نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَ الْجِمَالِ ، أَنْظُرُ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - . فَقَالَ الْمُنْذِرُ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ مَا لَمْ أَرَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ " . قُلْتُ : وَمَا رَأَيْتَ مِنِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " وَضَعْتَ سِلَاحَكَ ، وَلَبِسْتَ ثِيَابَكَ ، وَتَدَهَّنْتَ " . قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَفَشَيْءٌ جُبِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ شَيْءٌ أُحْدِثُهُ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، بَلْ شَيْءٌ جُبِلْتَ عَلَيْهِ " . فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَسْلَمَتْ عَبْدُ الْقَيْسِ طَوْعًا ، وَأَسْلَمَ النَّاسُ كَرْهًا ، فَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِي عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ " .
قَالَ : نَظَرْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَمَا أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَعْقِلْ .
وَمَاتَ نَافِعٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ ذَكَرَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ جَرْحًا وَلَا تَوْثِيقًا . وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Nafi' al-Abdi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna al-Mundhir bin Sawa (may Allah be pleased with him) came with a delegation from Bahrain to the city of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Some other people were also with Sayyiduna al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him), and I was a young boy who did not have much understanding; I used to look after those people's camels. The narrator says: Those people went with their weapons and offered greetings of peace in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him) took off his weapons, changed the (travelling) clothes on his body, and put oil on his beard. Then he came into the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and offered greetings of peace. I was with the camels, looking at the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have seen something from you that I have not seen in your companions." I submitted: "O Messenger of Allah! What have you seen in me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You took off your weapons, changed your clothes, and applied oil." I submitted: "O Prophet of Allah! Is this something that is part of my innate nature, or something I have adopted myself?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rather, it is part of your innate nature." Those people greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people of the Abd al-Qays tribe accepted Islam willingly, while others (some people) accepted Islam under compulsion. So may Allah Almighty grant blessing to the Abd al-Qays tribe."
The narrator says: I was looking at the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that time just as I am now looking at you, but at that time I did not have much understanding.
The narrator states: Sayyiduna Nafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away at the age of one hundred and twenty years.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Sulayman bin Nafi' al-Abdi. Ibn Abi Hatim mentioned him but did not mention any criticism (jarh) or accreditation (tawthiq) of him. The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
