[Machine] "And Al-Ahnaf ibn Qais ibn Husayn ibn Nazzal ibn Ubaydah al-Mukhadram met the Prophet ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ directed his attention towards him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a supplication for him, saying, 'And the name of Al-Ahnaf is Adh-Dhahhak, and it is said that his name is Sakhir ibn Qais ibn Mu'awiya ibn Husayn. He was born while his father was called Ahnaf.' So his mother said, 'By Allah, if it weren't for him having Ahnaf in his foot, there wouldn't be a boy as intelligent as him in the whole tribe of the Arabs.'"  

وَالْأَحْنَفُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ مُخَضْرَمٌ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَوَجَّهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «وَاسْمُ الْأَحْنَفِ الضَّحَّاكُ وَيُقَالُ صَخْرُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وُلِدَ وَهُوَ أَحْنَفُ» فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا حْنَفٌ فِي رِجْلِهِ مَا كَانَ فِي الْحَيِّ غُلَامٌ مِثْلَهُ وَكَانَ أَحْلَمَ الْعَرَبِ  

[Machine] "Do you remember when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to your people, the Banu Saad, and I presented Islam to them and invited them to it? I said to you, 'Indeed, you invite to good and command good.' So I conveyed that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, 'O Allah, forgive al-Ahnaf ibn Qais.' Al-Ahnaf used to say, 'There is nothing more hopeful for me than this action of mine.'" The rest of what the Dhahabi said was omitted in the summary.  

هَلْ تَذْكُرُ إِذْ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ بَنِي سَعْدٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَأَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَ إِنَّكَ تَدْعُو إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَتَأْمُرُ بِالْخَيْرِ فَبَلَّغْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمُ اغْفِرْ لِلْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ» فَكَانَ الْأَحْنَفُ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ عَمَلِي شَيْءٌ أَرْجَى لِي مِنْهُسكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
