It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jundub bin Makith (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ghalib al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him) as the commander of a detachment, and I was among them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to launch a raid on Banu al-Mulawwih at al-Kadid. We set out until, when we reached al-Kadid, we met al-Harith bin al-Barsa' al-Laythi and seized him. He said: "I have only come out intending to accept Islam, and I am on my way to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." We said: "If you are a true Muslim, our keeping you tied up for a day and a night will not harm you; and if you are something else, we will make sure of you (as a precaution)." So we tied him up firmly. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
