[Machine] He heard Abu Huraira saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a horseman ahead to Najd, and he brought a man from Banu Hanifa named Thumamah bin Athal Al-Yamama. They tied him to one of the pillars of the mosque with a rope made from the curtains of the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the hadith and said, "Release Thumamah." So he went to a nearby date palm tree, performed ablution, entered the mosque, and said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." And he mentioned the rest of the hadith.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْلًا قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَجَاءَتْ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ ثُمَامَةُ بْنُ أَثَالٍ سَيِّدُ الْيَمَامَةِ فَرَبَطُوهُ بِسَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَطْلِقُوا ثُمَامَةَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى نَخْلٍ قَرِيبٍ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ
