The delegation of Thaqif was a delegation from the people of Ta'if that came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Year 9 after the Hijrah, after the siege of Ta'if and after the conversion and martyrdom of Urwah ibn Mas'ud ath-Thaqafi among his people. The delegation was led by Abdul Yalil ibn Amr. Among them was Uthman ibn Abi al-As. The Prophet ﷺ lodged them near the mosque so they could hear the Quran and see the Muslims praying. At first they tried to ask for some conditions, including delaying the destruction of al-Lat, but the Prophet ﷺ did not accept that the idol remain or that prayer be left. Then they accepted Islam, and he sent someone with them to demolish al-Lat. He appointed Uthman ibn Abi al-As over them when he saw his eagerness for knowledge and religion. The story of the delegation of Thaqif shows the Prophet's ﷺ wisdom in receiving delegations, and that Islam considered the situation of new Muslims, but did not compromise on the principles of monotheism and prayer.
