He also sent ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās in Dhū al-Qa‘dah, 8 AH, to Jayfar and ‘Abd, the two sons of al-Julandā (1), of the Azd tribe in Oman. Both embraced Islam and affirmed his message, leaving ‘Amr free to collect alms and administer justice among them. He remained among them until news of the death of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, reached him (2).

He sent al-‘Alā’ ibn al-Hadramī to al-Mundhir ibn Sāwā (3), of the ‘Abd al-Qays tribe, the king of Bahrain, before his return from al-Ji‘rānah—or, according to another account, before the Conquest. Al-Mundhir embraced Islam and affirmed his message.

He sent al-Muhājir ibn Abī Umayyah al-Makhzūmī to al-Hārith ibn ‘Abd Kulāl al-Himyarī in Yemen, who said: “I shall consider my situation.”

He sent Abū Mūsā al-Ash‘arī and Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal to Yemen upon his return from Tabūk—or, according to another account, in Rabī‘ al-Awwal, 10 AH (4)—to call its people to Islam. Most of its people embraced Islam willingly, without any fighting.

After that, he sent ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib to them, and ‘Alī joined him in Mecca during the Farewell Pilgrimage.

He sent (5) Jarīr ibn ‘Abd Allāh al-Bajalī to Dhū al-Kulā‘ and Dhū ‘Amr to invite them to Islam, and both embraced it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, died while Jarīr was still with them.
