Receiving the delegation
The delegation of Banu al-Harith ibn Ka'b was a delegation from Banu al-Harith ibn Ka'b in Najran. They came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the late Prophetic period, after Khalid ibn al-Walid may Allah be pleased with him was sent to them in Rabi' al-Akhar or Jumada al-Ula of 10 AH to invite them to Islam for three days before fighting. They responded and accepted Islam. Then their delegation came to Madinah with Khalid. Among them were men from their notables such as Qays ibn al-Husayn Dhul al-Ghusah, Yazid ibn Abd al-Madan, Yazid ibn al-Muhajjal, Abdullah ibn Qurad al-Ziyadi, Shaddad ibn Abdullah al-Qanani, and Amr ibn Abdullah al-Dhababi. This delegation is counted among the later delegations, because Banu al-Harith were among the tribes of Najran with status and strength in the south of the Arabian Peninsula. After they accepted Islam, the Prophet ﷺ appointed Qays ibn al-Husayn over them, then sent to them Amr ibn Hazm may Allah be pleased with him to teach them the Quran, the Sunnah, and the teachings of Islam, and to collect their alms. The importance of this delegation is that it shows the spread of Islam to Najran and Yemen, and the transition of strong tribes from tribal independence to joining the Prophetic state through education, zakah, and governance, not through declaring Islam only.
