English Translation
Ibrahim ibn Sa'id narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Hujr narrated to us, he said: Sa'id ibn Abd al-Jabbar ibn Wa'il ibn Hujr narrated to me from his father from his mother from Wa'il ibn Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: News of the appearance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) reached us while we were in great kingship and authority, so I abandoned it and set out with longing for Allah and His Messenger. When I arrived before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he had already given them glad tidings of my arrival. When I came to him and greeted him, he returned the greeting, spread his cloak for me and seated me on it. Then he ascended his pulpit and sat me with him. He raised his hand, praised Allah and extolled Him, and sent blessings upon the Prophets. The people gathered around him, and he said to them: "O people, this is Wa'il ibn Hujr who has come to you from a distant land, from Hadramawt, willingly and not by compulsion, with longing for Allah and His Messenger and His religion - a remnant of the sons of kings." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is nothing but that news of your appearance reached us while we were in great kingship and great authority, and I came to you with longing for Allah, His Messenger, and His religion." He said: "You have spoken the truth."
