From ʿAlī ibn al-Madīnī, through Sufyān—meaning Ibn ʿUyaynah—through ʿAmr ibn Dīnār, through Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī Abū Jaʿfar al-Bāqir, from Jābir, in the same wording he narrated via Qutaybah. He and Muslim also related it through other chains from Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah, from ʿAmr, from Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī, from Jābir with a similar wording (1). In yet another version (2) it says that he told him to scoop up dirhams with both hands; when he counted them they came to five hundred, whereupon he doubled the amount twice, so that the total gift came to one thousand five hundred dirhams.

The Delegation of Farwah ibn Musayk (3) al-Murādī to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

Ibn Isḥāq (4) reports: Farwah ibn Musayk al-Murādī arrived—having parted company with the kings of Kindah and distanced himself from them—at the court of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Before Islam there had been a clash between his clan, Murād, and Hamdān in which Hamdān dealt them heavy losses. This occurred on a day called al-Radm, and the one who led Hamdān against them was al-Ajdaʿ ibn Mālik.

Ibn Hishām adds: It is also said that the leader was Mālik ibn Ḥarīm (5) al-Hamdānī.

Ibn Isḥāq (6) continues: On that day Farwah ibn Musayk recited:

We passed by Lufāt, our slender-legged mares, (7)
Tugging at the reins, wheeling toward us; (8)
If we prevail, we have long been conquerors, (9)
And if we are overcome, we are never truly subdued.
Our nature is not cowardice—far from it— (10)
It is our appointed deaths and the fare of those who follow.
Such is time: its fortune comes in turns— (11)
Its vicissitudes roll round now and again.
So while we rejoice in what delights us,
Even if its freshness were worn for years,
Suddenly the repeated blows of fate upend it,
And those once envied are found ground to dust. (12)
