Receiving the delegation
The delegation of Banu Kilab was a delegation from Banu Kilab ibn Rabi'ah ibn 'Amir ibn Sa'sa'ah. It came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Year 9 after the Hijrah (9 AH) as part of the Year of Delegations. Ibn Sa'd reports that they were thirteen men, including the poet Labid ibn Rabi'ah and Jabbar ibn Salma. They stayed at the house of Ramlah bint al-Harith, and Jabbar and Ka'b ibn Malik may Allah be pleased with him were friends, so Ka'b honored him and went out with them to the Prophet ﷺ. The delegation entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeting with the greeting of Islam, and they mentioned that Ad-Dahhak ibn Sufyan al-Kilabi had come to them with the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, calling them to Allah, so they responded. He took the zakah from their rich and gave it to their poor. The importance of this delegation lies in showing the effect of the callers and workers whom the Prophet ﷺ sent to the tribes, and that Islam spread not only through delegations, but also through organized teaching, establishing zakah, and connecting the tribes to the approach of the Book and the Sunnah.
