Do you need strong, fortified protection? The tribe of Daus had a fort in the pre-Islamic days. The Apostle ﷺ declined this offer, since it (the privilege of protecting the Holy Prophet) had already been reserved for the Ansar. When the Apostle ﷺ migrated to Medina, Tufail son of Amr also migrated to that place, and there also migrated along with him a man of his tribe. But the climate of Medina did not suit him, and he fell sick. He felt very uneasy. So he took hold of an iron head of an arrow and cut his finger-joints. The blood streamed forth from his hands, till he died. Tufail son of Amr saw him in a dream. His state was good and he saw him with his hands wrapped. He (Tufail) said to him: What treatment did your Allah accord to you? He replied. Allah granted me pardon for my migration to the Apostle ﷺ: He (Tufail) again said: What is this that I see you wrapping up your hands? He replied: I was told (by Allah): We would not set right anything of yours which you damaged yourself. Tufail narrated this (dream) to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Upon this he prayed: O Allah I grant pardon even to his hands.  

أَنَّ الطُّفَيْلَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الدَّوْسِيَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي حِصْنٍ حَصِينٍ وَمَنَعَةٍ قَالَ حِصْنٌ كَانَ لِدَوْسٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلَّذِي ذَخَرَ اللَّهُ لِلأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ الطُّفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَهَاجَرَ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَاجْتَوَوُا الْمَدِينَةَ فَمَرِضَ فَجَزِعَ فَأَخَذَ مَشَاقِصَ لَهُ فَقَطَعَ بِهَا بَرَاجِمَهُ فَشَخَبَتْ يَدَاهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَرَآهُ الطُّفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فِي مَنَامِهِ فَرَآهُ وَهَيْئَتُهُ حَسَنَةٌ وَرَآهُ مُغَطِّيًا يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا صَنَعَ بِكَ رَبُّكَ فَقَالَ غَفَرَ لِي بِهِجْرَتِي إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ مُغَطِّيًا يَدَيْكَ قَالَ قِيلَ لِي لَنْ نُصْلِحَ مِنْكَ مَا أَفْسَدْتَ فَقَصَّهَا الطُّفَيْلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ وَلِيَدَيْهِ فَاغْفِرْ  

[Machine] To the Prophet ﷺ , "Do you have a fortress and a fortress that prevents the entry of foes?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to a storage area for the Ansar and said, "Tufayl emigrated and a man from his people emigrated with him. But the man fell ill and said a word that made him distraught. He came to a horn and took a knife and cut his veins, and he died. Tufayl saw him in a dream and said, "What did Allah do to you?" He said, "He forgave me for my emigration to the Prophet ﷺ ." He said, "What is wrong with your hands?" He said, "I was told that we will not fix from you what you have damaged yourself." Tufayl narrated it to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Oh Allah, be a guardian to his parents and forgive him." And he raised his hands.  

لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ فِي حِصْنٍ وَمَنَعَةِ حِصْنِ دَوْسٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِمِذْخَرٍ لِلْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ فَهَاجَرَ الطُّفَيْلُ وَهَاجَرَ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَمَرِضَ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ فَضَجِرَ أَوْ كَلِمَةً شَبَهَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى قَرْنٍ فَأَخَذَ مِشْقَصًا فَقَطَعَ رَوَاجِبَهُ فَمَاتَ فَرَآهُ الطُّفَيْلُ فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِكَ؟ قَالَ غَفَرَ لِي بِهِجْرَتِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ يَدَيْكَ؟ قَالَ قِيلَ لِي إِنَّا لَنْ نُصْلِحَ مِنْكَ مَا أَفْسَدْتَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ قَالَ فَقَصَّهَا الطُّفَيْلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ وَلِيَدَيْهِ فَاغْفِرْ» وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ  

[Machine] Al-Tabarani reported that Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr al-Dawsi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Mecca and said, "O Messenger of Allah, come to a fortification with a number of warriors." Abu Zubayr said, "There is a fortress on top of the mountain that is only accessible by means of the ropes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Do you have anyone behind you?" He replied, "I do not know," so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him.

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr came to him as an emigrant, accompanied by a man from his tribe. This man contracted a severe fever, which caused him great distress, so he became anxious and took a knife and slit his veins, causing himself to bleed excessively until he died. He was buried, and it was mentioned in what the sleeping person sees at night that Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr would come to him in a good state, with his hands tied. So the sleeping person said to him, "Is so-and-so (mentioning the man who died) okay?" He replied, "Yes." He asked him, "What did you do?" He replied, "My Lord did good to me and forgave me through my migration to His Prophet ﷺ." The sleeping person asked him, "What did you do with your hands?" He replied, "My Lord said to me, 'We will not rectify from you what you have corrupted of yourself.'" Al-Tufayl then narrated this dream to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and supplicated, saying, "O Allah, be merciful to him and his hands. O Allah, be merciful to him and his hands. O Allah, be merciful to him and his hands."  

قَدِمَ الطُّفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الدَّوْسِيُّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلُمَّ إِلَى حِصْنٍ وَعَدَدٍ وَعِدَّةٍ قَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ حِصْنٌ فِي رَأْسِ الْجَبَلِ لَا يُؤْتَى إِلَّا فِي مِثْلِ الشِّرَاكِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَمَعَكَ مَنْ وَرَاءَكَ؟ » قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ قَدِمَ الطُّفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ رَهْطِهِ فَحُمَّ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ حِمَّى شَدِيدَةً فَجَزِعَ فَأَخَذَ شَفْرَةً فَقَطَعَ بِهَا رَوَاجِبَهُ فَتَشَخَّبَتْ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَدُفِنَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ جَاءَ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فِي شَارَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ وَهُوَ مُخَمِّرٌ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الطُّفَيْلُ أَفُلَانٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَيْفَ فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ صَنَعَ بِي رَبِّي خَيْرًا غَفَرَ لِي بِهِجْرَتِي إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَتْ يَدَاكَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَبِّي لَنْ نُصْلِحَ مِنْكَ مَا أَفْسَدْتَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ قَالَ فَقَصَّ الطُّفَيْلُ رُؤْيَاهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ «اللَّهُمَّ وَلِيَدَيْهِ فَاغْفِرْ اللَّهُمَّ وَلِيَدَيْهِ فَاغْفِرْ اللَّهُمَّ وَلِيَدَيْهِ فَاغْفِرْ»
