حدَّثنا أبو العباس محمد بن يعقوب حدَّثنا أحمد بن عبد الجبار، حدَّثنا يونس بن بُكَير، عن ابن إسحاق، قال: حدّثني محمد بن الوليد، عن كُريب مولى ابن عبّاس، عن ابن عبّاس قال: بَعَثَت بنو سعد بن بكر ضِمَامَ بن ثَعْلبة إلى رسول الله ﷺ، فقَدِمَ علينا، فأناخَ بعيرَه على باب المسجد فعقَلَه، ثم دخل على رسول الله ﷺ وهو في المسجد جالسٌ مع أصحابه، فقال: أيُّكم ابن عبد المطَّلِب؟ فقال رسولُ الله ﷺ: "أنا ابن عبد المطَّلب" فقال: محمدٌّ؟ قال: "نعم" قال: يا محمدُ، إني سائِلُك ومُغلِظٌ عليك في المَسألة، فلا تَجِدنَّ عليَّ في نفسِك، فإني لا أجِدُ في نفسي، قال: "سَلْ عمَّا بَدا لكَ" قال: أنشُدُك الله إلهَكَ وإلهَ مَن قبلَك وإلهَ مَن هو كائنٌ بعدَك، آللهُ بعثَك إلينا رسولًا؟ فقال: "اللهمَّ نعم" قال: أنشُدُك الله إلهَك وإلهَ مَن قبلَك وإلهَ مَن هو كائنٌ بعدَك، آللهُ أمرك أن نَعْبُدَه لا نشركَ به شيئًا، وأن نَخْلعَ هذه الأوثانَ والأنداد التي كان آباؤنا يَعبُدون؟ فقال ﷺ: "اللهمَّ نَعَم"، ثم جعل يَذكُر فرائضَ الإسلامِ فَريضةً فَريضةً: الصلاةَ والزكاةَ والصيامَ والحجَّ وفرائضَ الإسلام كلَّها، يَنشُدُه عند كُلِّ فَريضةٍ كما أَنشَدَه (1) في التي كان قبلها، حتى إذا فَرَغَ قال: فإني أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأنك عبده ورسوله، وسأؤدي هذه الفرائضَ، واجتنب ما نهيتني عنه، لا أزيد ولا أَنقُصُ، ثم انصرف راجعًا إلى بعيره، فقال رسول الله ﷺ حين ولى: "إن يَصدُقْ ذو العَقِيصتَين يَدخُلِ الجنة"، وكان ضمامٌ رِجلًا جَلْدًا أَشْعَرَ ذَا غَدِيرتَين. ثم أتى بَعِيرَه، فأطلقَ عِقالَه حتى قدم على قومِه، فاجتمعوا إليه، فكان أولُ ما تَكلَّم به وهو يَسُبُّ اللاتَ والعُزّى، فقالوا: مَهْ يا ضِمامُ اتَّقِ البَرَصَ والجُذَامَ والجُنون، فقال: وَيْلَكُم، إنهما واللهِ ما يَضُرَّانِ ولا ينفعانِ، إن الله قد بعث رسولًا وأنزل عليه كتابًا استنقذكُم به مما كنتُم فيه، وإني أشهدُ أن لا إله إلَّا الله وأنَّ محمدًا عبدُه ورسولُه، وإني قد جئتُكم من عنده بما أمَرَكُم به ونَهاكُم عنه، فواللهِ ما أمسَى ذلك اليومَ من حاضِرَتِه رجلٌ ولا امرأةٌ إلَّا مسلمًا (2). قال ابن عبّاس: فما سَمِعْنا بوافدِ قومٍ كان أفضلَ من ضِمَام بن ثَعْلبة (3). قد اتفق الشيخان على إخراج وُرُود ضِمامٍ المدينةَ (1)، ولم يسُق واحدٌ منهما الحديثَ بطُولِه، وهذا صحيح.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Banu Sa'd bin Bakr sent Dimam bin Tha'labah to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He came to us, made his camel kneel at the door of the Mosque and tied it, then entered the Mosque, where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting with his Companions. He asked: "Which of you is the son of Abd al-Muttalib?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib." He asked: "Muhammad?" He said: "Yes." He said: "O Muhammad! I am going to ask you questions and I will be somewhat harsh in my questioning, so do not be displeased with me in your heart, for I personally bear no ill will in my heart." He said: "Ask whatever is on your mind." He said: "I ask you by Allah, who is your God, the God of those before you and the God of those who will come after you: Is it Allah who has sent you to us as a Messenger?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, yes." He said: "I ask you by Allah, who is your God, the God of those before you and the God of those who will come after you: Has Allah commanded you that we should worship Him alone, not associate anything with Him, and abandon these idols and rivals that our forefathers used to worship?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, yes." Then he mentioned the obligations of Islam one by one, including prayer, zakah, fasting and Hajj, asking about each obligation by Allah just as he had asked before, until when he had finished he said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are His servant and Messenger. I will fulfil these obligations and avoid the things you have forbidden me, neither adding to them nor taking away from them." Then he turned back towards his camel, and as he turned his back the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If this man with the two braids is truthful, he will certainly enter Paradise." Dimam was a man of sturdy build, with a thick beard and two braids. Then he came to his camel, untied its rope and went to his people. People gathered around him, and the first thing he did was to begin reviling the idols al-Lat and al-Uzza. The people said: "O Dimam! Stop! Fear their curse, leprosy, elephantiasis and madness." He said: "Woe to you! By Allah, these idols can neither harm nor benefit. Allah has sent a Messenger and revealed a Book to him, by which He has rescued you from the superstitions in which you were caught. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. I have brought you from him the commands he has given and the things he has forbidden." So, by Allah, before evening fell that day there was not a single man or woman in their settlement who had not become Muslim. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: We have never heard of a delegate to his people better than Dimam bin Tha'labah.
The two Shaykhs agreed on the narration of Dimam's arrival in Madinah, but neither of them narrated this hadith in such detail, and this hadith is sahih (authentic).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Adil Murshid et al.
(1) هذا الفعل في لغة العرب يُستعمل على صيغتين "فَعَلَ وأفعل"، والمعنى: استحَلَفَه.
General principle: In the Arabic language this verb is used in two forms, "fa'ala and af'ala" (the bare triliteral and the augmented form), and its meaning is: he made him swear (an oath).
(2) في النسخ الخطية: رجلًا ولا امرأةً إلّا مسلمٌ. والمثبت من "تلخيص المستدرك"، وهو الجادّة.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In the manuscripts the words are: "rajulan wa la imra'atan illa muslimun". The text established here has been taken from "Talkhis al-Mustadrak", and that is the correct usage.
(3) إسناده حسن محمد بن الوليد - وهو ابن نُويفع - روى عنه ابن إسحاق - وهو محمد - وأبو مَعشَر نَجِيح بن عبد الله السندي المدني، غير أنَّ هذا الثاني سماه محمد بن نويفع، وذكره ابن حبان في "الثقات"، وقال الدارقطني: يُعتبر به، وقد تابعه سلمةُ بن كهيل في بعض روايات ابن إسحاق، وصَرَّح ابن إسحاق بسماعه من سلمة ومحمد بن الوليد، فأُمِن تدليسُه.
Grading: Its chain is hasan.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): From Muhammad bin al-Walid (who is Ibn Nuwayfi') narrated Ibn Ishaq (Muhammad) and Abu Ma'shar Najih bin Abd Allah al-Sindi al-Madani, although the second narrator (Abu Ma'shar) gave his name as "Muhammad bin Nuwayfi'". Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat", and al-Daraqutni said: "yu'tabaru bihi" (he may be taken into account). In some narrations of Ibn Ishaq, Salamah bin Kuhayl corroborated him, and Ibn Ishaq explicitly stated his hearing from both Salamah and Muhammad bin al-Walid, so there is no concern about his tadlis (here) (i.e., the fear of tadlis is removed).
وأخرجه ابن هشام في السيرة النبوية 2/ 573 - 574 عن زياد بن عبد الله البكّائي، وأحمد 4 / (2254) و (2380) و (2381) من طريق إبراهيم بن سعْد الزُّهْري، وأبو داود (487) من طريق سلمة بن الفضل الأبرش، ثلاثتهم عن محمد بن إسحاق، بهذا الإسناد. وقرن سلمة بن الفضل في روايته بمحمدِ بن الوليد سلمةَ بنَ كُهيل.

All three of them narrate it from Muhammad bin Ishaq with this same chain. And Salamah bin al-Fadl, in his narration, paired Salamah bin Kuhayl with Muhammad bin al-Walid.
ويشهد له دون قصته مع قومه حين رجع إليهم، حديثُ أنس بن مالك عند أحمد 20/ (12719)، والبخاري (63)، ومسلم (12). وغيرهم.

والحاضِرة: هي المدن والقُرى والريف، سُميَت بذلك لأنَّ أهلها حضروا الأمصارَ ومساكن الديار التي يكون لهم بها قَرار.
Note / Clarification: "Al-hadirah" means cities, villages and countryside. It was given this name because its inhabitants reside in towns and dwelling houses where they have a settled abode.

Note / Clarification: What is meant is the hadith of Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), as has passed.
