Mas'ud ibn Mu'tib of Thaqif's Ahlaf moiety, sent to Medina to seek the Ansar's alliance against Banu Malik; Uhayha ibn al-Julah refused with the famous counsel — 'your brother is the one you left behind; go back and make peace with him though it cost your nose and ear' — and gave him a slave who raised Ta'if's first fortress-tower 1.

Overview
An embassy to Medina
He came to Medina as an envoy of the Ahlaf, asking for the alliance of the Ansar against the Banu Malik in the war of the two clans of Thaqif. 2
Uhayha ibn al-Jullah turned him back with advice to the effect that his brother, whom he had left behind, should be reconciled with, even if it meant slitting their noses and ears. He gave him a boy who built fortifications. 2
He built a fortification for them at al-Ta'if, the first fortification that they built there. No significant war took place between them after that. 2
