It is reported about Sayyiduna Hani Abu Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came from Yemen to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) invited him to Islam and he became Muslim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over his head, supplicated for blessing for him, and lodged him with Yazid bin Abi Sufyan. Then, when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) prepared the army for Syria, he set out with them and did not return.
