On the authority of Mahmud Ibn Labid, a brother of the Banu 'Abd al-Ashhal.

He said: When Abu al-Haysar,
0:51
Anas Ibn Rafi', came to Makkah,
0:54
Accompanied by some young men from the Banu 'Abd al-Ashhal,

Among whom was Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him,
1:00
Seeking an alliance with the Quraysh against their rivals, the Khazraj.
1:05
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, heard of them.
1:10
He came to them and sat with them.
1:12
He said: "Would you like something better than what you have come for?"
1:17
They asked: "And what is that?"
1:19
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:23
"I am the Messenger of Allah.
1:25
He sent me to His servants to call them to worship Allah alone, associating nothing with Him.
1:31
And He has revealed a Book to me."
1:34
Then he spoke to them about Islam.
1:36
And he recited the Qur'an to them.
1:39
Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, said—
1:42
For he was a young lad—
1:45
"O my people,
1:46
By Allah, this is better than what you have come for."
1:50
He said: Abu al-Haysar then took a handful of gravel,
1:54
And struck the face of Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, with it,
1:59
Saying: "Leave us be!
2:02
By my life, we have come for something other than this."
2:05
Iyas fell silent.
2:07
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood up,
2:11
And they returned to Madinah.
2:13
Then the Battle of Bu'ath took place between the Aws and the Khazraj.
2:18
He said:
2:19
Not long after, Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, passed away.
2:24
Mahmud Ibn Labid said:
2:27
Those of my people who were present at his death informed me,
2:30
That they kept hearing him declaring the oneness of Allah (tahlil), magnifying Him (takbir),
2:35
Praising Him (tahmid), and glorifying Him (tasbih) until he died.
2:39
They had no doubt that he had died a Muslim.
2:43
He had truly embraced the spirit of Islam in that gathering,
2:47
When he heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, what he heard.

3:38
In remembrance.
