Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Tufail bin Amr Dosi came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "The tribe of Daws is disobedient to Allah and they have refused to accept the call to truth. O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), pray against them." But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face towards the Qiblah and raised both hands and began to supplicate. The people thought that now the tribe of Daws would be destroyed (as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was about to pray against them). But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed: "O Allah! Grant guidance to the tribe of Daws, and bring them to us as obedient ones. O Allah! Grant guidance to the tribe of Daws, and bring them to us as obedient ones."
