It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman that Sayyiduna Tulayb bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam in the house of al-Arqam. Then he went to his mother, Arwa bint Abd al-Muttalib (who was the paternal aunt of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)), and said: I have followed Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and have submitted to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. His mother said: Truly, your maternal uncle's son (Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)) is the most deserving of your help and support. By Allah! If we had the ability to do what men are able to do, we too would follow him and defend him. Tulayb says: I said: O my mother! What is stopping you from accepting Islam and following him?! Your brother Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) has already accepted Islam. She said: I will see what my sisters do, then I will be one of them. Tulayb said: I ask you by Allah to go to him, greet him with salam, affirm his truthfulness, and bear witness that there is no god but Allah. Arwa said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Thereafter she used to support the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with her tongue, and would urge her son to help him (peace and blessings be upon him) and to carry out his commands. This hadith is sahih gharib on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
