Sunan Abi Dawud 3025 (Book 20, Hadith 98) #23315
The Prophet's Prediction of Thaqif's Embrace of Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) predicted that the Thaqif tribe would eventually embrace Islam and pay zakat and strive in the way of Allah.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: Wahb said: I asked Jabir about the condition of Thaqif when they took the oath of allegiance. He said: They stipulated to the Prophet that there would be no sadaqah (ie zakat) on them nor Jihad (striving in the way of Allah). He then heard the Prophet say: Later on they will give sadaqah (zakat) and will strive in the way of Allah when they embrace Islam.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ - حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَقِيلِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا عَنْ شَأْنِ، ثَقِيفٍ إِذْ بَايَعَتْ قَالَ اشْتَرَطَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ أَنْ لاَ صَدَقَةَ عَلَيْهَا وَلاَ جِهَادَ وَأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ سَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَيُجَاهِدُونَ إِذَا أَسْلَمُوا

However, he predicted that when they embraced Islam later on, they would give sadaqah and strive in the way of Allah. This hadith teaches us to have faith in God’s plan for us even if it seems unlikely at first. It also shows us how important it is to keep our promises even if we don’t understand why we are making them at first.
