[Machine] We arrived at the city, and behold, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on the pulpit, and Bilal stood in front of him, holding a sword that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was also holding. Then I saw a few black flags, so I asked, "What are these flags?" They replied, "Amr ibn al-Aas has returned from a battle."  

قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَبِلَالٌ قَائِمٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مُتَقَلِّدٌ السَّيْفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا رَايَاتٌ سُودٌ وَسَأَلْتُ مَا هَذِهِ الرَّايَاتُ؟ فَقَالُوا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ قَدِمَ مِنْ غَزَاةٍ  

[Machine] "I passed by an old woman wearing a torn robe from the Banu Tamim tribe. She asked, 'Where do you want to go?' I said, 'We want the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' She said, 'Carry me with you, for I have a need to see him.' So, I entered the mosque, and it was filled with people, and I saw a black flag waving. I asked, 'What is happening with the people today?' They said, 'This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who wants to send 'Amr ibn al-'As.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! If you see fit, make a truce between us and the Banu Tamim, for once we had a truce.' The old woman became stubborn and became angry. She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, where are you taking me?' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I brought her (the old woman), and I do not feel that she is a burden to me.' He said, 'I seek refuge with Allah that I ever become as the people who said before.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What did the people before say?' He said, 'They called him an imbecile.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Hush! He can understand what is said to him.' It was said (by the people), 'The army of 'Ad has arrived.' So, he spent a month with Mu'awiyah bin Bakr, giving him wine and entertaining him with locusts. Then, he set out until he came to the mountains of Muhrat. He said, 'O Allah! I did not come to enslave a slave, nor did I come to treat a sick person. But water Your slave what you used to water him with.' So, give Mu'awiyah bin Bakr to drink wine for a month as appreciation for the wine that he drank in his presence.' Abu Wa'il said, 'I was told that what was sent upon them (the people of 'Ad) from the wind was as much as the water that flows in a ring.'"

مَرَرْتُ بِعَجُوزٍ بِالرَّبَذَةِ مُنْقَطِعٌ بِهَا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُونَ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَاحْمِلُونِي مَعَكُمْ فَإِنَّ لِي إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةً قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ غَاصٌّ بِالنَّاسِ وَإِذَا رَايَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ تَخْفِقُ فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالُوا هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ وَجْهًا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الدَّهْنَاءَ حِجَازًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ لَنَا مَرَّةً قَالَ فَاسْتَوْفَزَتِ الْعَجُوزُ وَأَخَذَتْهَا الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيْنَ تَضْطَرُّ مُضَرَكَ؟ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَمَلْتُ هَذِهِ وَلَا أَشْعُرُ أَنَّهَا كَائِنَةٌ لِي خَصْمًا قَالَ قُلْتُ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ كَمَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُ؟ قَالَ عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ يَقُولُ سَلَّامٌ هَذَا أَحْمَقُ يَقُولُ لرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هِيهْ يَسْتَطْعِمُهُ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ إِنَّ عَادًا أَرْسَلُوا وَافِدَهُمْ قَيْلًا فَنَزَلَ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ بَكْرٍ شَهْرًا يَسْقِيهِ الْخَمْرَ وَتُغَنِّيهِ الْجَرَادَتَانِ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى جِبَالَ مُهْرَةَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي لَمْ آتِ لِأَسِيرٍ أُفَادِيهِ وَلَا لِمَرِيضٍ فَأُدَاوِيَهُ فَاسْقِ عَبْدَكَ مَا كُنْتَ سَاقِيَهُ وَاسْقِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ بَكْرٍ شَهْرًا يَشْكُرْ لَهُ الْخَمْرَ الَّتِي شَرِبَهَا عِنْدَهُ قَالَ فَمَرَّتْ سَحَابَاتٌ سُودٌ فَنُودِيَ أَنْ خُذْهَا رَمَادًا رِمْدِدًا لَا تَذَرْ مِنْ عَادٍ أَحَدًا قَالَ أَبُو وَائِلٍ فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ مَا أُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الرِّيحِ كَقَدْرِ مَا يَجْرِي فِي الْخَاتَمِ  

[Machine] I went to complain to Alaa ibn Al-Hadrami about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I passed by Al-Rabadha and there was an old lady from the Banu Tamim sitting alone. She said to me, "O Abdullah, I have a need with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Can you convey it to him?" I agreed and carried her on my camel and we arrived at Al-Madinah. When we reached the mosque, it was filled with its people and there was a black flag flapping with a proud horseman holding a sword in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I asked, "What's happening with the people?" They replied, "They want to appoint Amr ibn Al-Aas as their leader." So I sat down. Then he (the Messenger of Allah) entered his house or his tent, and I sought permission to enter. He allowed me to come in, so I entered and greeted him. He asked, "Did you have any dealings with the Banu Tamim?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "They owed us some debts and I passed by an old lady from the Banu Tamim who asked me to convey this to you." Then, she entered and I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "If you find it appropriate, create a separation between us and the Banu Tamim." So he requested for a pot of dehn oil, which was smeared on her and she became calm and excited. She asked, "O Messenger of Allah, where will you send Mu'adh?" He replied, "I said, 'I am to them like the Mazi (a type of she-camel) is to the A'd. He replied, 'Indeed, the Mazi died due to carrying loads, and I am to carry this load. But I don't feel that it has been a burden on me. I seek refuge with Allah and His Messenger from being like the feathers of 'Ad.' He asked, 'What is a feather of 'Ad?' He knew the answer better than anyone else, but he wanted to narrate so I replied, 'The 'Ad endured famine, so they sent for a wafid (a person who delivers messages on behalf of others) and they called him Qayl (previously asked). He passed by Mu'awiya ibn Bakr's tent and stayed with him for a month, giving him alcohol to drink and being entertained by two servant girls called al-Jaradatan. When the month was over, he left for the mountains of Tihamah and called out to Allah, "O Allah, You know that I didn't come to cure the sick nor free captives, so let the rains fall on 'Ad as You make them drink, and don't leave a single one of them alive." Then, thick black clouds passed over them and called out, "Take it (rain) from this side and take it from the black part." So he pointed to one of the black clouds and said, "Take it from this one, gray ash". And he said, "Let there not be a single person among the 'Ad." Abu Wa'il said: It was conveyed to me that when the wind was sent against them, it didn't stop until they were annihilated. Then Abu Wa'il said, "The man and the woman, when they send a wafid (messenger) to them, they should not be like the wafid of 'Ad."
