It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that during Hajj the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to present himself to the people at the Mawqif (the places where people stay on the plain of Arafat), saying: "Is there any man who will take me to his people? For Quraysh have prevented me from conveying the words of my Lord." Then a man from Banu Hamdan came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I am ready. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do your people have strength and the power to protect?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him where he was from, and he said that he was from Hamdan. Then this man from Hamdan feared that his people might not stand by him and would put him to shame, so he came back to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I will first go to my people and inform them of the situation, and then I will meet you next year. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Very well." So he left, and then in the month of Rajab the delegation of the Ansar arrived. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
