حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الصَّوَّافِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ الطُّفَيْلَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الدَّوْسِيَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي حِصْنٍ حَصِينٍ وَمَنْعَةٍ قَالَ حِصْنٌ كَانَ لِدَوْسٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلَّذِي ذَخَرَ اللَّهُ لِلْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ الطُّفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَهَاجَرَ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَاجْتَوَوْا الْمَدِينَةَ فَمَرِضَ فَجَزِعَ فَأَخَذَ مَشَاقِصَ لَهُ فَقَطَعَ بِهَا بَرَاجِمَهُ فَشَخَبَتْ يَدَاهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَرَآهُ الطُّفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فِي مَنَامِهِ فَرَآهُ وَهَيْئَتُهُ حَسَنَةٌ وَرَآهُ مُغَطِّيًا يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا صَنَعَ بِكَ رَبُّكَ فَقَالَ غَفَرَ لِي بِهِجْرَتِي إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ مُغَطِّيًا يَدَيْكَ قَالَ قِيلَ لِي لَنْ نُصْلِحَ مِنْكَ مَا أَفْسَدْتَ فَقَصَّهَا الطُّفَيْلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ وَلِيَدَيْهِ فَاغْفِرْ.

It was narrated from Jabir that At-Tufail bin 'Amr Ad-Dawsee came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, do you need strong, fortified protection?" - referring to a fortress that had belonged to Daws during the Jahiliyyah. The Prophet (s.a.w) refused that because Allah had already granted that (the role of protecting the Prophet) to the Ansar. When the Prophet (s.a.w) emigrated to Al-Madinah, At-Tufail bin 'Amr emigrated to join him, and another man from among his people emigrated with him, but the climate of Al-Madinah did not suit them and he fell sick. He was unhappy, so he took an iron arrowhead and cut his finger joints, and his hands bled until he died. At-Tufail bin 'Amr saw him in his dream, looking good but with his hands bandaged. He said to him: "What did your Lord do with you?" He said: "He forgave me because I had emigrated to join His Prophet (s.a.w)." He said: "Why do I see your hands bandaged?" I{e said: "It was said to me: 'We will not set right anything of yours that you damaged yourself."' At-Tufail told this dream to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and the Messenger of Allah' (s.a.w) said: "O Allah, forgive his hands too."
