1481. Narrated Abū Ĥumaid As-Sā'idī رضي الله عنه: We took part in the Ghazwa (holy battle) of Tabūk in the company of the Prophet ﷺ, and when we arrived at the Wādī Al-Qurā, there was a woman in her garden. The Prophet ﷺ asked his Companions to estimate the amount of the fruits in the garden, and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ estimated it at ten Awsuq (One Wasq = 60 Ṣā' and 1 Ṣā' = 3 kg. approximately). The Prophet ﷺ said to that lady, “Check what your garden will yield.” When we reached Tabūk, the Prophet ﷺ said, “There will be a strong wind tonight and so no one should stand and whoever has camel, should fasten it.” So, we fastened our camels. A strong wind blew at night and a man stood up and he was blown away to a mountain called Ṭāiy. The king of 'Aila sent a white mule and a sheet for wearing to the Prophet ﷺ as a present, and wrote to the Prophet ﷺ that his people would stay in their place (and will pay Jizya taxation).(1) When the Prophet ﷺ reached Wādī Al-Qurā he asked that woman how much her garden had yielded. She said, "Ten Awsuq," and that was what Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had estimated. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "I want to reach Al-Madīna quickly, and whoever among you wants to accompany me should hurry up." The subnarrator Ibn Bakkār said something which meant: When the Prophet ﷺ saw Al-Madīna he said, "This is Ṭāba." And when he saw the mountain of Uhūd, he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it. Shall I tell you of the best amongst the families of the Anṣār?" We replied in the affirmative. He said, "The family of Bani An-Najjār and then the family of Bani Abdul-Ashhal, and then the family of Bani Sa'ida or Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. (The above-mentioned are the best) but there is goodness in all the families of Anṣār."
