Hadith 1328
نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ ، نَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ " أَنَّ وَفْدَ ثَقِيفٍ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَنْزَلَهُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَرَقَّ لِقُلُوبِهِمْ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that a delegation from the tribe of Thaqif came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he accommodated them in the Prophet’s Mosque so that this would soften their hearts (and they would accept Islam).
