[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ came seeking victory in Ta'if, he entered it and was given a drink made from barley. He drank it and said to me, "O Ruqayyah, do not worship their tyrant rulers, nor pray for them." I said, "If I say that, they will kill me." He said, "If they say that to you, then say, 'My Lord is the Lord of this tyrant.' And when you pray, turn your back to it." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left their presence. Ruqayyah's daughter told me that my brothers, Sufyan and Wahb ibn Qays ibn Aban, said, "When Thaqif embraced Islam, we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he asked, 'What did your mother do?' We said, 'She died in the state she was left in.' He said, 'Then your mother embraced Islam.'"  

لَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَبْتَغِي النَّصْرَ بِالطَّائِفِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَمَرَتْ لَهُ بِشَرَابٍ مِنْ سَوِيقٍ فَشَرِبَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا رُقَيْقَةُ لَا تَعْبُدِي طَاغِيَتَهُمْ وَلَا تُصَلِّي لَهَا» قُلْتُ إِذًا يَقْتُلُونِي قَالَ فَإِذَا قَالُوا لَكَ ذَلِكَ فَقُولِي رَبِّي رَبُّ هَذِهِ الطَّاغِيَةِ فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتِ فَوَلِّهَا ظَهْرَكِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ قَالَتْ بِنْتُ رُقَيْقَةَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَخَوَايَ سُفْيَانُ وَوَهْبٌ ابْنَا قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبَانَ قَالَا لَمَّا أَسْلَمَ ثَقِيفٌ خَرَجْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا فَعَلَتْ أُمُّكُمَا؟» قُلْنَا هَلَكَتْ فِي الْحَالِ الَّتِي تَرَكْتَهَا فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ أَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّكُمَا إِذَنْ»
