"A voice was heard in Mecca, high up, somewhere between heaven and earth,
that people could hear though no one see, reciting the verses,
'God, Lord of all men, awarded His very best reward to
two Companions who stayed at the two tents of Umrn Ma'bad.
They stayed there in good will, and then left; and
lucky is he who becomes the Companion of Mubad.
0 Qusayy, God did not withhold from you actions that
will not be rewarded, nor leadership?
Ask your sister about her goat and bowl; if you were
to ask the goat, she would testify.
He asked her for a goat without young, and it gave milk
for him in plenty, its teat giving foam,
So he pledged (with the goat) (milk) for the milker,
such that it remained abundant at its commencement and at
its completion.'"Next morning the people, those of Mecca that is, having missed their prophet
went to the tents of Umm Ma'bad, trying to catch up with the Messenger of God
(SAAS)."
Hassan b. Thxbit responded with the verses,"A people disappointed, having lost their prophet,
while those to whom he hurried were pleased,
He left a people and their spirits left them, and he
took up residence with a people with a light renewed.
Are those who mislead people out of blind stupidity
equal to those rightly guided by a guide?
A prophet, seeing about him what others do not see,
reciting the Book of God at every scene.
If one day he should speak the words of the unseen, it
is corroborated the same day or, at most, the morning of the
next.
Abo Bakr must be pleased by the pleasure his
grandfather enjoys at his accompanying him; whoever pleases
God will be happy.
Let the place of their woman please the Bano Ka'b, and
her sitting watching for the Muslims."He stated - 'Abd d-Malik b. Wahb, that is - "I received information that Abn
Ma'bad accepted Islam and emigrated to the Prophet (SAAS)."
The h~ji? Ahn Nu'aym related this through 'Abd al-Malik b. Wahb
d-Madhhiji, in the same terms. At the end of his account he added, '"Abd
al-Mdik said, 'I received information that Umm Ma'bad emigrated, accepted
Islam, and joined the Messenger of God (SAAS)."'
Abn Nu'aym, moreover, related this through various routes, from Bakr b.
Muhriz al-Kalhi al-KhuzZci, from his father Muhriz b. Mahdi, from Harm b.
