It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that Tufail bin Amr Dosi came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! The people of the tribe of Daws have disobeyed and rejected (the message). Therefore, pray against them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards the Qiblah and raised his hands. The people thought that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to curse them. But he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Grant guidance to the tribe of Daws and bring them to us."
