[Machine] Do you remember when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to your people, the Bani Sa'd, and I presented Islam to them and invited them to it? I said, "You are the one who calls to goodness and commands it. Indeed, he is calling to goodness and commanding it." So I conveyed that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "O Allah, make a contract for Al-Ahnaf." And Al-Ahnaf used to say, "There is nothing more beloved to me than this action."  

هَلْ تَذْكُرُ إِذْ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ بَنِي سَعْدٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَأَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَ إِنَّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُ بِهِ إِنَّهُ لَيَدْعُو إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُ بِهِ فَبَلَّغْتُ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اعْقِدِ لِلْأَحْنَفِ» فَكَانَ الْأَحْنَفُ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ عَمَلِي شَيْءٌ أَرْجَى لِي مِنْهُ»  

[Machine] Suhayb bin Sinan passed away and was also known as Abu Yahya in Medina, in the month of Shawwal in the year thirty-eight. He was among the captives of Mosul, captured by the Romans.  

«تُوُفِّيَ صُهَيْبُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ وَيُكْنَى أَبَا يَحْيَى بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي شَوَّالٍ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَكَانَ مِنْ سَبْي الْمَوْصِلِ سَبَتْهُ الرُّومُ»  

[Machine] Umar was stabbed. He ordered Suhayb, a slave of the Banu Judh'an tribe, to lead the people in prayer.  

طُعِنَ عُمَرُ ؓ «أَمَرَ صُهَيْبًا مَوْلَى بَنِي جُدْعَانَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The first to embrace Islam were four: I am the first among the Arabs, Suhaib is the first among the Romans, Salman is the first among the Persians, and Bilal is the first among the Ethiopians."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ السُّبَّاقُ أَرْبَعَةٌ أَنَا سَابِقُ الْعَرَبِ وَصُهَيْبٌ سَابِقُ الرُّومِ وَسَلْمَانُ سَابِقُ فَارِسَ وَبِلَالٌ سَابِقُ الْحَبَشِ  

[Machine] In his saying {And among the people is he who sells himself} it was revealed about Suhaib ibn Sinan and Abu Dharr, and that the one who met Suhaib on the way to the city was Qunfudh ibn Umayr ibn Jud'an.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {§وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْرِي نَفْسَهُ} «نَزَلَتْ فِي صُهَيْبِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ وَأَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ وَأَنَّ الَّذِي أَدْرَكَ صُهَيْبًا بِطَرِيقِ الْمَدِينَةِ قُنْفُذُ بْنُ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ»
