In the report given by Imam Baihaqi in his Hadith collection, Hadhrat
Sawad bin Qarib stated: "In the period of ignorance or pre-Islamic
period, I had friendship with a jinn who used to give me information
about the future events which I used to tell the people. Many people had
become my devotees and offered me the presents as information by him
always proved true. One day, he came and awakened me when I was asleep
and said: Get up and be conscious. If you possess some sense, know that a
Prophet has come from the descendants of Lawa bin Ghalib. Then, the
jinn recited a few verses which meant:
"I am surprised at those
jinns who ride their camels and, getting restless, flee to Makkah for
guidance. The jinns who embraced Islam are better than the unclean
jinns. So, you should, also, look at that chief of Arabs and travel
towards that chief of the Bani Hashim."
Sawad bin Qarib stated
that, after hearing these couplets, I remained restless throughout the
night. The second night, also, that jinn came and awakened me and
recited the same couplets. The third night, also, this event took place.
As the event happened for three nights continuously, the love of Islam
settled in my heart and I reached Makkah for the Prophet (saw). As soon
as the Prophet (saw) saw me, he said: "Welcome! O Sawad bin Qarib. I
know what brings you here." I submitted: "O Apostle of Allah! I have
composed some couplets praising you. Please, first listen to these
couplets." Being permitted by the Prophet (saw) Sawad recited his poem
praising the Prophet (saw). The last couplet of this poem is:
"O Prophet of Allah! please, intercede for my forgiveness on the day when nobody will intercede and benefit for anyone."
