The one addressed
The delegation of Sa'd Hudhaym is a delegation from Banu Sa'd Hudhaym of Quda'ah. It came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Year 9 after the Hijrah, as part of the Year of Delegations. They came to Madinah after accepting Islam. When they found the Prophet ﷺ praying over a funeral, they stood aside and did not join in, thinking that their Islam would not be complete until they gave the Prophet ﷺ the pledge of allegiance. When he asked them and they said they were Muslims, he explained to them that whoever accepts Islam in any place is a Muslim. In the wording of the narration, he said: «أينما أسلمتم فأنتم مسلمون». The story of this delegation shows that Islam does not depend on coming to Madinah or on a special pledge of allegiance, but is confirmed by sincere entry into the faith. It also shows the Prophet ﷺ caring for teaching delegations and correcting their understanding before they returned to their people.
