Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2406 — Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr al-Dawsi came

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr al-Dawsi (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Do you have need of a strong fortress and a secure refuge?" He meant a fortress that belonged to the tribe of Daws in the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declined it, because of the honour that Allah Almighty had stored up for the Ansar. Then, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) emigrated to Madinah, Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) also emigrated to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and a man from his people emigrated with him. The climate of Madinah did not suit that man and he became distressed, so he took some broad-headed arrows of his and cut the joints of his fingers with them, and blood kept flowing from both his hands until he died. Then Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him in a dream in a good state, but he had covered both his hands. He asked: "What did your Lord do with you?" He said: "He forgave me because of my emigration to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." He asked: "Why is it that I see you have covered your hands?" He said: "It was said to me: 'We will not mend from you what you yourself have ruined.'" Sayyiduna al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) related this dream to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: 'Allahumma wa li-yadayhi faghfir' (O Allah, forgive his two hands as well).
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu al-Zubayr except Hajjaj, and Hammad is alone in narrating it."
