[Machine] I heard Uqbah ibn Amir say from the pulpit, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah while I was tending to my sheep. I left them and went to him, saying, 'Will you allow me to offer you my allegiance, O Messenger of Allah?' He asked, 'Who are you?' So, I informed him. He then asked, 'Which type of allegiance do you prefer, an allegiance of migration or an allegiance of the Bedouins?' I said, 'An allegiance of migration.' So, he gave me his allegiance. Then he asked, 'Who is here from the people of Ma'add?' I stood up. He said, 'Sit down.' Then he asked, 'Who is here from the people of Ma'add?' I stood up. He said, 'Sit down.' He repeated this for the third time, and I stood up. Then I asked, 'Who are we, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'You are from the tribe of Quda'ah, and then Malik ibn Himyar.'"
سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَنَا فِي غَنَمٍ أَرْعَاهَا فَتَرَكْتُهَا ثُمَّ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ تُبَايِعُنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟» فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ «أَيُّمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَبَيْعَةُ هِجْرَةٍ أَوْ بَيْعَةٌ أَعْرَابِيَّةٌ؟» فَقُلْتُ بَيْعَةُ هِجْرَةٍ فَبَايَعَنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ هَاهُنَا مِنْ مَعَدٍّ فَلْيَقُمْ؟» فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ «اقْعُدْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ هَاهُنَا مِنْ مَعَدٍّ فَلْيَقُمْ؟» فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ «اقْعُدْ» ثُمَّ قَالَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ «اقْعُدْ» فَقُلْتُ مِمَّنْ نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «أَنْتُمْ مِنْ قُضَاعَةَ ثُمَّ مَالِكِ بْنِ حِمْيَرٍ»
