English Translation
Abu 'Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us... from Sulayman ibn al-Mughirah, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Abu Rifa'ah al-'Adawi who said: 'I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was delivering the sermon and said: O Messenger of Allah, a stranger has come asking about his religion; he does not know what his religion is. So he came to me and left his sermon. He was brought a chair whose legs were wrapped with iron, and he began teaching me from what Allah had taught him. Then he returned to his sermon and completed it.'
