[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to my people to invite them to Allah and present them with the laws of Islam. So I came to them while they were watering their camels and milking their she-camels. When they saw me, they said, "Welcome, O Suddi bin Ajlan!" I said, "No, I have only come to you on behalf of the one who forbids you from what Allah has revealed to him." They asked, "And what did he say?" I said, "He revealed this verse: 'Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine.' He continued until [the verse:] 'and that you seek to draw lots, by the arrows." I called them to Islam, but they refused. So I said to them, "Bring me some water, for I am extremely thirsty." They said, "No, we will let you die of thirst." I said, "So I tightened my turban and hit my head on it, and slept in the intense heat of the midday sun. Then someone came to me in a dream with a glass cup that the people had not seen anything better than, and it contained a drink that the people had not tasted anything more delicious than. He offered it to me, so I drank from it. When I finished drinking, I woke up, and I swear by Allah, I did not feel thirsty and I did not experience thirst after drinking from that cup."
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى قَوْمِي أَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ وَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ وَقَدْ سَقَوْا إِبِلَهُمْ وَاحْتَلَبُوهَا وَشَرِبُوا فَلَمَّا رَأَوْنِي قَالُوا مَرْحَبًا بِالصُّدَيِّ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالُوا بَلَغَنَا أَنَّكَ صَبَوْتَ إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ قُلْتُ «لَا وَلَكِنْ آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ وَبَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيْكُمْ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكُمِ الْإِسْلَامَ وَشَرَائِعَهُ» فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ فَجَاءُوا بِقَصْعَةِ دَمٍ فَوَضَعُوهَا وَاجْتَمَعُوا عَلَيْهَا يَأْكُلُونَهَا قَالُوا هَلُمَّ يَا صُدَيُّ قُلْتُ وَيْحَكُمْ إِنَّمَا أَتَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَنْ يُحَرِّمُ هَذَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالُوا وَمَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَأَنْ تَسْتَقْسِمُوا بِالْأَزْلَامِ} فَجَعَلْتُ أَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَيَأْبَوْنَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ «وَيْحَكُمِ ائْتُونِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَإِنِّي شَدِيدُ الْعَطَشِ» قَالَ وَعَلَيَّ عِمَامَتِي قَالُوا لَا وَلَكِنْ نَدَعُكَ تَمُوتُ عَطَشًا قَالَ «فَاعْتَمَمْتُ وَضَرَبْتُ رَأْسِي فِي الْعِمَامَةِ وَنِمْتُ فِي الرَّمْضَاءِ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ فَأَتَانِي آتٍ فِي مَنَامِي بِقَدَحٍ زُجَاجٍ لَمْ يَرَ النَّاسُ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ وَفِيهِ شَرَابٌ لَمْ يَرَ النَّاسُ أَلَذَّ مِنْهُ فَأَمْكَنَنِي مِنْهَا فَشَرِبْتُهَا فَحَيْثُ فَرَغْتُ مِنْ شَرَابِي اسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَلَا وَاللهِ مَا عَطِشْتُ وَلَا عَرَفْتُ عَطَشًا بَعْدَ تِيكَ الشَّرْبَةِ»
