[Machine] He heard some delegation from the tribe of Abdul-Qais saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he was very pleased with our arrival. When we finished meeting with the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ greeted us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, 'Who is your leader and your chief?' So we pointed to Mujdhir ibn A'idhah. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Is this the one with the scar?' And this was the first day on which he was given this name by being struck on the face with the hoof of a camel. We said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' Then some of the people missed us and their belongings were delayed. So their riding animals and provisions were gathered and their defect was removed. The Prophet ﷺ took off their travel clothes and they wore their good clothes. Then he turned to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ extended his leg and supported himself. When Mujdhir approached him, the people made room for him and said, 'Here, O Mujdhir.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Sit here, O Mujdhir,' and he sat on the right side of the Prophet ﷺ.

They said, 'The best of brothers are the ones who are generous, they made their homes available to us, they provided us with the best food, they slept and woke us up, and they taught us the Book of our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, and the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ.' The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and happy with this, and then he approached us one by one, and each of us presented what we had learned and taught. Some of us knew the greetings, the mother of the Book, and the Surah, the two Surahs, and the Sunnah. Then he approached us with his face and said, 'Do you have anything of your provisions with you?'
