Welcoming the delegation
The delegation of the kings of Himyar refers to a letter and messengers from the kings of Himyar in Yemen to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after his return from Tabuk, informing him of their Islam and their leaving shirk. Among their names were al-Harith ibn Abd Kullal, Nu'aym ibn Abd Kullal, and an-Nu'man, said to be of Dhi Ra'in, Ma'afir, and Hamdan. Zara'ah Dhu Yazan also sent Malik ibn Murrah ar-Rahawi with news of their Islam. The Prophet ﷺ then wrote to them a letter explaining the foundations of Islam and what is required of them in prayer, zakah, and charity, and what is due from those who remain among the People of the Book in the form of the jizyah.
