Harith bin Yazid Bakri reported,

I set out to complain about Ala bin Hadrami to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I passed through Rabadhah, where I came upon an elderly woman from Banu Tamim who had been stranded there.She said, "Abdullah, I have a need to bring before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Will you take me to him?"So I carried her along, and we arrived in Madinah. There I saw black banners raised.I asked, "What is going on with the people?"They replied, "He intends to dispatch Amr bin As on an expedition."I sat down until he was finished. Then he entered his home, or his lodging. I sought permission to see him, and he granted it. I went in and sat down.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, "Was there some incident between you and Tamim?"I said, "Yes. We gained the upper hand over them. On my way, I passed through Rabadhah and found an elderly woman from them who had been stranded. She asked me to bring her to you, and here she is at the door."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted her to enter, and she came in.I said, "Messenger of Allah, place a barrier between us and Tamim."The old woman became animated and settled herself comfortably, then said, "Where will you drive your displaced ones, Messenger of Allah?"I said, "I am just as the saying goes, a goat that carried its own death! I brought this woman not realizing she would become my adversary. I seek refuge in Allah and His Messenger from being like the envoy of Aad!"He asked, "And what is the envoy of Aad?"I said, "You have asked the right person." He was drawing the story out of me.I said, "Aad suffered a drought, so they sent three men as envoys. One of them stopped with Bakr, who served him wine for a month while two singing-girls called the Jaradatan entertained him. He then went out to the mountains of Mahrah and called out, 'O Allah, I have not come for a sick man to cure him, nor for a captive to ransom him. O Allah, give Aad to drink as they once drank!'Clouds passed by him, and a voice called out from them, 'Take it as fine ash that will leave none of Aad alive!'"He said, "And the woman would say, 'Do not be like the envoy of Aad!'"When they spoke about them concerning the wind, Messenger of Allah, only as much was sent against them as would pass through my ring.Abu Waail said, "That is how it reached me."

عن الحارث بن يزيد البكري قال

خرجت لأشكو العلاء بن الحضرمي إلى رسول الله ﷺ، فمررت بالربذة، فإذا عجوز منقطع بها من بني تميم، فقالت: يا عبد الله، إن لي إلى رسول الله ﷺ حاجة، فهل أنت مبلغي إليه؟ قال: فحملتها، فقدمت المدينة. قال: فإذا رايات سود، قلت: ما شأن الناس؟ قالوا: يريد أن يبعث بعمرو بن العاص وجها. قال: فجلست حتى فرغ. قال: فدخل منزله أو قال: رحله فاستأذنت عليه فأذن لي، فدخلت فقعدت، فقال لي رسول الله ﷺ: هل كان بينكم وبين تميم شيء؟ قلت: نعم! وكانت لنا الدبرة عليهم، وقد مررت بالربذة، فإذا عجوز منهم منقطع بها، فسألتني أن أحملها إليك، وها هي بالباب. فأذن لها رسول الله ﷺ فدخلت، فقلت: يا رسول الله، اجعل بيننا وبين تميم الذها حاجزا، فحيت العجوز واستوثرت، وقالت: فأين تضطر مضرك يا رسول الله؟ قال: قلت: أنا كما قالوا: معزى حملت حتفها! حملت هذه ولا أشعر أنها كانت لي خصما أعوذ بالله ورسوله أن أكون كوافد عاد! قال: وما وافد عاد؟ قلت: على الخبير سقطت! قال: وهو يستطعمني الحديث. قلت: إن عادا قحطوا فبعثوا ثلاثا وافدا، فنزل على بكر، فسقاه الخمر شهرا ومغنيه جاريتان يقال لهما الجرادتان، فخرج إلى جبال مهرة، فنادى: اللهم إني لم أجئ لمريض فأداويه، ولا لأسير فأفاديه، اللهم فاسق عادا ما كانت تشرب! فمرت به سحابات شرر، فنودي منها: خذها رمادا رميددا، لا تبقي من عاد أحدا! قال: فكانت المرأة تقول: لا تكن كوافد عاد! فلما تكلموا عليهم من الريح، يا رسول الله، إلا قدر ما يجري في خاتمي. قال أبو وائل: فكذلك بلغني.
