1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar who has said that Isma‘il ibn Jabir narrated to him the following: “In between Makkah and al-Madinah, my companion and I were discussing about people called al- Ansar. One of us said that they were individuals from different people who did not belong to well- known tribes, and one of them said that they were from the people of Yemen. We then arrived near abu ‘ Abd Allah . He was sitting under a tree and he initiated the conversation, even though we had not asked him any questions. He (the Imam) said, ‘When Tubba‘ came from Iraq, along with him came men of learning and children of prophets. When he arrived in this valley of al- Hudhayl, people from certain tribes came to him and said, “You have come to the people of a town wherein they have played on people for a long time. They call their land as Sacred and their buildings as a male or female Lord.” He then said, “If that is true I will kill their fighter, take their offspring as captives and destroy their building.’” He (the Imam) said, ‘When he said this, his eyes came out of their place down on both sides of his face.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He called the men of learning from the offspring of prophets to think and find out why it has happened to him.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘They refused to tell him anything until he begged and pleaded before them. They then asked him, “Tell us about what you were saying to yourself before this happened to you?” He replied, “I said to myself that I will kill their fighters, take their offspring as captives and destroy their building.” They said, “The only reason for what has happened to you is what you said to yourself.” He then asked, “Why is it so?” They replied, “The land is the Sacred place of Allah, the House is the House of Allah, and its inhabitants are offspring of Ibrahim, the friend of the Beneficent.” He then said, “You have spoken the truth. How can I get out of what I have fallen into?” They said, “You must speak to yourself about something other than what you have done. There is hope that Allah may return you to your previous condition.’” He (the Imam) said, ‘He then spoke to himself about good things, his eyes returned back to their sockets and settled back therein.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He summoned the people who had asked him to destroy it and then he killed them all. He then went to the House, provided it with covering and served food to people for thirty days, every day with one hundred camels. The food was so much that they carried large containers of food to the mountaintops for the wild beasts there, and spread valuable items in the valley for the beasts. He then returned from Makkah to al-Madinah and asked the people from Yemen of the people of Ghassan to disembark and they are al-Ansar people.’” In another Hadith it says he covered it with al-Nata‘ (a covering with fragrance).
