Overview

Of the Dubayb clan, the kin of Rifa'a ibn Zayd of Judham. He accompanied Dihya al-Kalbi before the raid on them, and Dihya taught him Umm al-Kitab. 1 When the army of Zayd ibn Haritha came down upon the people, he was the spokesman of the Dubayb riders. They agreed among themselves that no one but he should speak, for fear of the tongue of his brother Unayf. He said to Zayd: "We are a Muslim people," and he recited Umm al-Kitab to him, and Zayd held back from them. 2 He was also the one who rode to Rifa'a and said to him: "You are sitting milking goats while the women of Judham are captives," and Rifa'a rode to the Prophet ﷺ. 3

Zayd ibn Haritha's raid on Judham and the Prophet's restitution

When Dihya ibn Khalifa al-Kalbi returned from Caesar, al-Hunayd ibn Us and his son of the Dula' of Judham robbed him in the valley of Shinar; men of the Dubayb, Rifa'a ibn Zayd's clan who had converted, recovered his goods. When Dihya complained to the Prophet and asked for al-Hunayd's blood, the Prophet sent Zayd ibn Haritha with an army, which raided from al-Awlaj at al-Maqis, took property and people, killed al-Hunayd and his son and three others, and captured converts among them. A party of the Dubayb with Hassan ibn Milla rode to Zayd, who had Umm al-Kitab recited and proclaimed their quarter inviolable; they then rode to Rifa'a and three nights on to Medina, where the Prophet read his own letter to Rifa'a, asked three times what he should do about the dead, and sent Ali with his sword to Zayd, who restored everything down to a woman's cushion. Ibn Ishaq has it from men of Judham learned in it.
