Sayyiduna Dhu’l-Jawshan says: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the Battle of Badr, I came to him and said: O Muhammad! I have brought for you the foal of a mare, which has a little whiteness on its face, so that you may accept it as a gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have no need of it, but if you wish, I can give you the fine armors of Badr in exchange for it. He said: No, I would not even take a slave girl for it today. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then I have no need of it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Dhu’l-Jawshan! Will you not accept Islam, so that you may be among the first people of this religion? He said: No, I will not do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why, what is the reason for this? I said: I see that your people (the Quraysh) are still fighting you, (it is not clear what the outcome will be). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Have you not heard of their destruction at Badr? He said: Yes, I have heard of that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We will clarify for you. He said: If you overcome the Ka‘bah and make it your abode, then it will be something. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you live, you will see this with your own eyes. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Bilal! Take this man’s provision bag and fill it with ‘ajwah dates and give it to him. Sayyiduna Dhu’l-Jawshan says: When I returned from the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Beware! This is the best horseman of Banu ‘Amir. Sayyiduna Dhu’l-Jawshan says: (After a long time had passed) I saw a rider coming towards me, while I was at that time in a lowland (in Yemen) with my family. I said: Where have you come from? He said: From Makkah. I said: What happened to the people? He said: Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has overcome Makkah. I said: May my mother lose me! If I had become Muslim that day and asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for Hira, he would have given it to me.
