حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْحَجَّاجِ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ مَکِيثٍ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ غَالِبٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ وَکُنْتُ فِيهِمْ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَشُنُّوا الْغَارَةَ عَلَی بَنِي الْمُلَوِّحِ بِالْکَدِيدِ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّی إِذَا کُنَّا بِالْکَدِيدِ لَقِينَا الْحَارِثَ بْنَ الْبَرْصَائِ اللَّيْثِيَّ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا جِئْتُ أُرِيدُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَإِنَّمَا خَرَجْتُ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْنَا إِنْ تَکُنْ مُسْلِمًا لَمْ يَضُرَّکَ رِبَاطُنَا يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً وَإِنْ تَکُنْ غَيْرَ ذَلِکَ نَسْتَوْثِقُ مِنْکَ فَشَدَدْنَاهُ وِثَاقًا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2678
Narrated Jundub ibn Makith: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abdullah ibn Ghalib al-Laythi along with a detachment and I was also with them. He ordered them to attach Banu al-Mulawwih from all sides at al-Kadid. So we went out and when we reached al-Kadid we met al-Harith ibn al-Barsa al-Laythi, and seized him. He said: I came with the intention of embracing Islam, and I came out to go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We said: If you are a Muslim, there is no harm if we keep you in chains for a day and night; and if you are not, we shall tie you with chains. So we tied him with chains.
