A binding and truthful covenant, pronounced with justice, concluded by ʿAmr ibn Murrah al-Juhani on behalf of Juhaynah ibn Zayd:

You are granted the valley bottoms and their open plains, the upland slopes and hilltops. You may graze whatever grows there and drink its clear waters, provided that you acknowledge the payment of the one-fifth (khums) and perform the five daily prayers.

With respect to the tiʿah and the ṣuraymah: two sheep are due if the two flocks are together; (1) if they are kept apart, (2) then one sheep for each. No alms-tax is due from the people of the muthīrah, (3) nor on the wardah or the labiqah.

Those Muslims present have borne witness, and it was written down by Qays ibn Shamās, may Allah be pleased with him.

It was on this occasion that ʿAmr ibn Murrah recited:

[long metre]
Have you not seen that Allah has made His religion triumphant,
revealing the proof of the Qur’an to the tribe of ʿĀmir?
A Book from the All-Merciful—a light for our assembly
and for our allies, be they nomad or settled.
Addressed to the best of all who tread the earth,
the most exalted when hardships press. (4)
We obeyed the Messenger of Allah when the innards of the foe
were cleft by keen swords and spear-points. (5)
We are a clan round whom glory has been built,
whenever, in war, the heads of chieftains are sought.
Sons of battle, we feed it with far-reaching hands
and flashing blades held by daring raiders.
You behold the Anṣār encircling their commander (6)
with ash-shafted lances and keen-edged swords.
When battle whirls in every grave encounter
and its millstone grinds, driven by lion-hearted men,
his colour glows, his face shines the brighter—
like the radiance of the full moon among the stars.

Abū ʿUthmān Saʿīd ibn Yaḥyā al-Umawī relates in his Maghāzī:

ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, Abū ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, and al-Mujālid ibn Saʿīd and al-Ajlaḥ narrated on the authority of al-Shaʿbī, who said:

A venerable man of Juhaynah told me:

A man among us fell gravely ill. His condition grew so serious that we dug his grave and saw to everything. He passed out, then opened his eyes and regained consciousness. He asked, “Have you dug my grave?”

They replied, “Yes.”

He said, “And what of al-Qusal”—a cousin of his. (7)

We answered, “He is fine; he just passed by a moment ago asking after you.”

He said, “Indeed, he will soon be placed in my grave. While I was unconscious a figure came to me and said, ‘Weep for Hubal! Do you not see your pit?’”
