حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَدِمَ الطُّفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الدَّوْسِيُّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ دَوْسًا قَدْ عَصَتْ وَأَبَتْ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْقِبْلَةَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَظَنَّ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ دَوْسًا، وَائْتِ بِهِمْ.

‘Ali related to us: Sufyan related to us: Abu al-Zinad related to us, from al-A‘raj, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: al-Tufayl ibn ‘Amr al-Dawsi came to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, “Messenger of Allah, Daws have disobeyed and refused, so supplicate to Allah against them.” The Messenger of Allah faced the qiblah and raised his hands. The people thought he was supplicating against them, but he said, “O Allah, guide Daws and bring them to us.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The account contrasts al-Tufayl’s request for a supplication against Daws with the Prophet’s prayer that they be guided and brought to him.
