"We went out as a delegation to the Prophet ﷺ; we gave him our oath of allegiance and prayed with him. We told him that in our land there was a church that belonged to us. We asked him to give us the leftovers of his purification (Wudu' water). So he called for water, performed Wudu' and rinsed out his mouth, then he poured it into a vessel and said to us: 'Leave, and when you return to your land, demolish your church, and sprinkle this water on that place, and take it as a Masjid.' We said: 'Our land is far away and it is very hot; the water is far away and it is very hot; the water will dry up.' He said: 'Add more water to it, for that will only make it better.' So we left and when we came to our land we demolished our church, then we sprinkled the water on that place and took it as a Masjid, and we called the Adhan in it. The monk was a man from Tayy', and when he heard the Adhan, he said: 'It is a true call.' Then he headed toward one of the hills and we never saw him again."  

خَرَجْنَا وَفْدًا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ وَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ أَنَّ بِأَرْضِنَا بِيعَةً لَنَا فَاسْتَوْهَبْنَاهُ مِنْ فَضْلِ طَهُورِهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَتَمَضْمَضَ ثُمَّ صَبَّهُ فِي إِدَاوَةٍ وَأَمَرَنَا فَقَالَ اخْرُجُوا فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُمْ أَرْضَكُمْ فَاكْسِرُوا بِيعَتَكُمْ وَانْضَحُوا مَكَانَهَا بِهَذَا الْمَاءِ وَاتَّخِذُوهَا مَسْجِدًا قُلْنَا إِنَّ الْبَلَدَ بَعِيدٌ وَالْحَرَّ شَدِيدٌ وَالْمَاءَ يَنْشَفُ فَقَالَ مُدُّوهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَزِيدُهُ إِلاَّ طِيبًا فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا بَلَدَنَا فَكَسَرْنَا بِيعَتَنَا ثُمَّ نَضَحْنَا مَكَانَهَا وَاتَّخَذْنَاهَا مَسْجِدًا فَنَادَيْنَا فِيهِ بِالأَذَانِ قَالَ وَالرَّاهِبُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ طَيِّئٍ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الأَذَانَ قَالَ دَعْوَةُ حَقٍّ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَ تَلْعَةً مِنْ تِلاَعِنَا فَلَمْ نَرَهُ بَعْدُ  

[Machine] A delegation set out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until they reached him and informed him that they had made a pledge of allegiance in their land and had obtained a portion of his sacred water as a blessing. He called for water, performed ablution and rinsed his mouth, then poured the water into a container and said, "Take this water and when you reach your land, break your pledge of allegiance and pour this water in its place, making it a mosque." They said, "O Prophet of Allah, we are leaving during a time of intense heat and drought, and the water dries up." He said, "Extend it with water, for it will remain in abundance and plentiful." They said, "So we left until we reached our land, broke our pledge of allegiance, poured the water in its place, and made it a mosque."  

أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ وَفْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَتَوْهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّ بِأَرْضِهِمْ بَيْعَةً وَاسْتَوْهَبُوهُ مِنْ طَهُورِهِ فَضْلِهً فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأ وَتَمَضْمَضَ ثُمَّ صَبَّهُ فِي إِدَاوَةٍ وَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا بِهَذَا الْمَاءِ فَإِذَا قَدِمْتُمْ بَلَدَكُمْ فَاكْسِرُوا بِيعَتَكُمْ وَانْضَحُوا مَكَانَهَا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَاءِ وَاتَّخِذُوهَا مَسْجِدًا قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّا نَخْرُجُ فِي زَمَانٍ كَثِيرِ السَّمُومِ وَالْحَرِّ وَالْمَاءُ يُنَشَّفُ قَالَ فَمُدُّوهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ يَبْقَى مِنْهُ شَدِيدٌ كَثِيرٌ رَطْبٌ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى بَلَغْنَا بَلَدَنَا فَكَسَرْنَا بِيعَتَنَا وَنَضَحْنَا مَكَانَهَا بِذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ وَاتَّخَذْنَاهَا مَسْجِدًا  

[Machine] We sent six delegates to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Five were from the Banu Hanifa tribe, and the sixth was a man from the Dhubiyya ibn Rabiah tribe. We reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , pledged allegiance to him, and prayed with him. We informed him that we had a pact in our land, and we brought him water to seek his blessing. He called for water, performed ablution with it, rinsed his mouth, and poured it into a container for us. Then he said, "Take this water, and when you reach your land, break your pact, pour the water in its place, and build a mosque in its location." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, the journey is long and the water will dry up." He replied, "Extend it with more water, as it will not increase it except in goodness." So we debated among ourselves regarding who would carry the container, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed it to each of us for a day and a night. We carried it until we reached our land, and we did as we were commanded. A monk from Tayy called out to us to pray, and when we called him, he said it was a sincere prayer, then he ran away and was not seen again.
