[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ after his return from the Battle of Badr, with the son of Faras by the name of Al-Qarha. I said, "O Muhammad, I have brought you the son of Al-Qarha for you to take as your adopted son." He replied, "I have no need for him." So, I said, "If you wish, I will ransom you with the finest armor from the spoils of Badr." He said, "I have no need for it." Then he said, "O Dhu Al-Jushan, will you not embrace Islam and be among the first followers of this faith?" I replied, "No." He asked, "Why not?" I said, "I have seen your people's enthusiasm for you." He asked, "So, how did you learn about their valor in the Battle of Badr?" I said, "I have heard about it." He said, "We guide you." I replied, "If you were to conquer the Kaaba and live in it." He said, "Perhaps, if you live long enough, you will witness that." Then he said to Bilal, "Take some dates from the man's bag and give it to him." As I was leaving, he said, "Verily, he is one of the finest knights of Banu Amir." I said, "May my mother lose me if I were to embrace Islam today, but I would surely kill him if I had him in my power."
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَرَغَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ بِابْنِ فَرَسٍ لِي يُقَالُ لَهَا الْقَرْحَاءُ فَقُلْتُ يَامُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُكَ بِابْنِ الْقَرْحَاءِ لِتَتَّخِذَهُ قَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ أَقِيضَكَ بِهِ الْمُخْتَارَةَ مِنْ دُرُوعِ بَدْرٍ فَعَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَقِيضَهُ الْيَوْمَ بِغُرَّةٍ قَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا ذَا الْجَوْشَنِ أَلَا تُسْلِمُ فَتَكُونَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا قَالَ لِمَ؟ قُلْتُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ وَلِعُوا بِكَ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ بَلَغَكَ عَنْ مَصَارِعِهِمْ بِبَدْرٍ؟ قُلْتُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي قَالَ فَإِنَّا نُهْدِي لَكَ قُلْتُ إِنْ تَغْلِبْ عَلَى الْكَعْبَةِ وَتَقْطُنْهَا قَالَ لَعَلَّكَ إِنْ عِشْتَ تَرَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ خُذْ حَقِيبَةَ الرَّجُلِ فَزَوِّدْهُ مِنَ الْعَجْوَةِ فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرْتُ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ فُرْسَانِ بَنِي عَامِرٍ قَالَ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي بِأَهْلِي بِالْغَوْرِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَاكِبٌ فَقُلْتُ مَا فَعَلَ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَ قَدْ وَاللهِ غَلَبَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَلَى الْكَعْبَةِ وَقَطَنَهَا فَقُلْتُ هَبِلَتْنِي أُمِّي وَلَوْ أُسْلِمُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثُمَّ أَسْأَلُهُ الْحِيرَةَ لَأَقْطَعَنِيهَا
