Sahih al-Bukhari 3919 (Book 64, Hadith 135)
the pagans, ‘Amir bin at-Tufail proposed three suggestions (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) saying, “Choose one of
three alternatives: (1) that the bedouins will be under your command and the townspeople will be
under my command; (2) or that I will be your successor, (3) or otherwise I will attack you with two
thousand from Bani Ghatafan.” But ‘Amir was infected with plague in the House of Um so-and-so. He
said, “Shall I stay in the house of a lady from the family of so-and-so after having a (swelled) gland
like that she-camel? Get me my horse.” So he died on the back of his horse. Then Haram, the brother
of Um Sulaim and a lame man along with another man from so-and-so (tribe) went towards the
pagans (i.e. the tribe of ‘Amir). Haram said (to his companions), “Stay near to me, for I will go to
them. If they (i.e. infidels) should give me protection, you will be near to me, and if they should kill
me, then you should go back to your companions. Then Haram went to them and said, “Will you give
me protection so as to convey the message of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ?” So, he started talking to them’ but
they signalled to a man (to kill him) and he went behind him and stabbed him (with a spear). He (i.e.
Haram) said, “Allahu Akbar! I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka`ba!” The companion of Haram
was pursued by the infidels, and then they (i.e. Haram’s companions) were all killed except the lame
man who was at the top of a mountain. Then Allah revealed to us a verse that was among the
cancelled ones later on. It was: ‘We have met our Lord and He is pleased with us and has made us
pleased.’ (After this event) the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked evil on the infidels every morning for 30 days. He
invoked evil upon the (tribes of) Ril, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and His
Apostle.
