Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39791 — Reports on the people of Najran

It is narrated from al-Sha'bi that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform mubahalah with the people of Najran, they agreed to pay him (peace and blessings be upon him) the jizyah. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A bearer of glad tidings came to me with news of the destruction of the people of Najran had they gone through with the mubahalah, even the birds on the trees (or he said) even the sparrows on the trees." And when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was going to these people of Najran, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was holding the hands of Sayyiduna Hasan and Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both), and Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) was walking behind him (peace and blessings be upon him).
