Sunan Abi Dawud 4861 (Book 43, Hadith 89) #25152
Heeding the Prophet's Warning

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned Amr ibn al-Faghwa' al-Khuza'i to be careful of his companion, Amr ibn Umayyah ad-Damri, when travelling to Mecca. Despite this warning, Amr ibn al-Faghwa' continued the journey and eventually reached Mecca safely.

Narrated Amr ibn al-Faghwa' al-Khuza'i: The Messenger of Allah called me. He intended to send me with some goods to AbuSufyan to distribute among the Quraysh at Mecca after the conquest. He said: Search for a companion. Then Amr ibn Umayyah ad-Damri came to me and said: I have been told that you are intending to make a journey and are seeking a companion. I said: Yes. He said: I am your companion. I then went to the Messenger of Allah and said: I have found a companion. He asked: Who is he? I replied: Amr ibn Umayyah ad-Damri. He said: When you come down to the territory of his people, be careful of him, for a maxim says: If one is your real brother, do not feel safe with him. So we proceeded, and when I reached al-Abwa', he said to me: I have some work with my people at Waddan, so stay here till I come back. I said: Do not lose your way. When he turned his back, I recalled the words of the Prophet . So I rode my camel and galloped without stopping. When I reached al-Asafir, he was pursuing me with a group of men. So I galloped and forged ahead of him. When he saw me that I had outstripped him, they returned and he came to me. He said to me: I had some work with my people. I said: Yes. We then went on until we reached Mecca, and I gave the goods to AbuSufyan.
