After the Conquest
upon returning from this long successful travel, the messenger of allâh [pbuh] stayed in madinah where he received delegates and dispatched agents and appointed preachers and callers to islam everywhere. those whose hearts were still full of prejudice against islam and therefore were too proud to embrace allâh’s religion, were decisively muffled on their non-acquiescence in the status quo prevalent then in arabia.
here is a mini-image about the believed ones. we have already stated that the messenger’s arrival in madinah was by the last days of the eighth year of al-hijra. no sooner the crescent of muharram of the ninth year turned up than the messenger of allâh [pbuh] dispatched the believed ones, to the tribes as shown in the list below:
| 1. ‘uyaina bin hisn | to bani tamim. | |
| 2. yazeed bin husain | to aslam and ghifar. | |
| 3. ‘abbad bin bishr al-ashhali | to sulaim and muzainah. | |
| 4. rafi‘ bin mukaith | to juhainah. | |
| 5. ‘amr bin al-‘as | to bani fazarah. | |
| 6. ad-dahhak bin sufyan | to bani kilab. | |
| 7. basheer bin sufyan | to bani ka‘b. | |
| 8. ibn al-lutabiyah al-azdi | to bani dhubyan. | |
| 9. al-muhajir bin abi omaiyah | to sana‘a’ (al-aswad al-‘ansi called at him when he was in it). | |
| 10. ziyad bin labid | to hadramout. | |
| 11. ‘adi bin hatim | to tai’ and bani asad. | |
| 12. malik bin nuwairah | to bani hanzalah. | |
| 13. az-zabraqan bin badr | to bani sa‘d (a portion of them). | |
| 14. qais bin ‘asim | to bani sa‘d (a portion of them). | |
| 15. al-‘alâ’ bin al-hadrami | to al-bahrain. | |
| 16. ‘ali bin abi talib | to najran (to collect sadaqa & jizya). |
some of these agents were despatched in muharram, 7 a.h., others were sent later until the tribes they were heading for had completely converted into islam. such a move clearly demonstrates the great success that the islamic da‘wah (call) enjoyed after al-hudaibiyah treaty. however, shortly after the conquest of makkah, people began to embrace islam in large hosts.
