3070. 'Abdullāh bin Ḥassān Al-'Anbarī said: "My two grandmothers, Ṣafīyyah and Duḥaibah the daughters of 'Ulaibah — who were the stepdaughters of Qailah bint Makḥramah, who was their father's grandmother — narrated that she (Qailah) told them: 'We came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and my companion, meaning Ḥuraith bin Ḥassān, went forward as a delegate from Bakr bin Wā'il, and pledged allegiance upon Islam to him, on behalf of himself, and his people. Then he said: "O Messenger of Allāh, write a document giving us the land between us and Banū Tamīm in Ad-Dahnā', and that none of them will pass it and come to us, except a traveler or passer-by." He said: "Write for him, O young man, in Ad-Dahnā'." When I saw that he had ordered him, I became very upset, as it was my native land and home. I said: "O Messenger of Allāh, he did not ask you for regular (barren) land, rather this Dahnā' is the place where the camels and sheep graze; the women and children of Banū Tamīm are just
beyond that.” He said: “Stop, O young man. The poor woman is speaking the truth. A Muslim is the brother of his fellow Muslim; they should share the water and trees, and they should cooperate with one another against Al-Fattān.” (Da'if)

3070 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَسَّانَ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتَايَ صَفِيَّةُ، وَدُحَيْبَةُ، ابْنَتَا عُلَيْبَةَ، وَكَانَتَا رَبِيبَتَيْ قَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ مَخْرَمَةَ، وَكَانَتْ جَدَّةَ أَبِيهِمَا أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُمَا، قَالَتْ قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: تَقَدَّمَ صَاحِبِي - تَعْنِي حُرَيْثَ بْنَ حَسَّانَ - وَافِدَ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، فَبَايَعَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى قَوْمِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اكْتُبْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ بِالدَّهْنَاءِ، أَنْ لَا يُجَاوِزَهَا إِلَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ، إِلَّا مُسَافِرٌ أَوْ مُجَاوِرٌ، فَقَالَ: «اكْتُبْ لَهُ يَا غُلَامُ بِالدَّهْنَاءِ» فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ قَدْ أَمَرَ لَهُ بِهَا، شُخِصَ بِي وَهِيَ وَطَنِي وَدَارِي، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْكَ السَّوِيَّةَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ إِذْ سَأَلَكَ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ هَذِهِ الدَّهْنَاءُ عِنْدَكَ مُقَيَّدُ الْجَمَلِ، وَمَرْعَى الْغَنَمِ، وَنِسَاءُ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَأَبْنَاؤُهَا وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: «أَمْسِكْ يَا غُلَامُ، صَدَقَتِ الْمِسْكِينَةُ، الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ يَسَعُهُمَا الْمَاءُ، وَالشَّجَرُ، وَيَتَعَاوَنَانِ عَلَى الْفَتَّانِ»
