Dimam ibn Tha'labah as-Sa'di may Allah be pleased with him was a Companion from Banu Sa'd ibn Bakr. He came as a delegate to the Prophet ﷺ to ask about Islam and verify his message. He entered the mosque and asked the Prophet ﷺ direct questions about tawhid, prayer, zakah, fasting, and Hajj, and he would confirm the answer by saying: Did Allah command you to do this? When he knew the truth, he declared his Islam and said that he would commit himself to what he had been commanded. Then he returned to his people as a caller, invited them to Islam, and they all embraced Islam and built mosques and called the prayer. His story is a unique model of the sincere delegate who combined thoughtful questioning, verification of the truth, and then quick action and دعوت.
