It is narrated from Hazrat Asma that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) stopped at the place of Dhi Tuwa, Abu Quhafa said to his young granddaughter, "Daughter! Take me up to Abu Qubais!" By that time, he had lost his eyesight. She took him up that mountain, and Abu Quhafa asked, "Daughter! What do you see?" She said, "A very large army that has gathered and come." Abu Quhafa said, "They are horsemen." His granddaughter said, "I saw a man running ahead of the army, sometimes coming forward and sometimes falling behind." Abu Quhafa said, "That is clear now, meaning that the man who commands the horsemen and stays ahead of them." She says, "Then the army began to spread out." Upon this, Abu Quhafa said, "By Allah, now the horsemen have set out. Take me home quickly." She began to take him down, but before they could reach their home, the army had already arrived there. The girl had a silver necklace around her neck, which a man took off from her neck.

When the Prophet (peace be upon him) entered Makkah and went into the mosque, Hazrat Abu Bakr brought his father to the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Upon seeing this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "You could have let him stay at home; I would have gone there myself." Hazrat Abu Bakr submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! It is more appropriate that he comes to you than that you go to him." Then he seated him before the Prophet (peace be upon him), who passed his hand over his chest and invited him to accept Islam, so he became a Muslim. When Hazrat Abu Bakr brought him to the Prophet (peace be upon him), his head had become white like the plant called Thaghama. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Dye his hair." Then Hazrat Abu Bakr stood up, took his sister's hand, and said, "I swear by Allah and Islam, return my sister's necklace." But no one replied, so Hazrat Abu Bakr said, "Dear sister, hope for reward for your necklace."
