The Prophet ﷺ used to hold people in due regard and laud their good qualities to win their hearts and underline their qualities which merited praise. In this hadeeth, It was narrated on the authority of Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he (may Allah be pleased with him) loved the Banee Tameem, an Arab tribe, since the moment he heard the Prophet ﷺ lauding three of their good qualities. First, they would stand firm against Al-Dajjaal when he emerges. Linguistically, the Arabic word ‘Dajjaal’ denotes concealment and deception, because he is a liar who covers up the truth, conceals it, and reveals falsehood. He will be a human being whose emergence will be one of the major signs of the Last Hour. His emergence shall be a trial and test for people, for Allah, Exalted is He, will grant him some abilities that are exclusive to Him such as: the resurrection of the dead person whom he shall kill, the time of prosperity and affluence that he will usher in, his heaven and fire, and his two rivers. Moreover, the treasures of the land will follow him, and he will command the sky to rain and the plants to grow, and they will comply. All of that shall happen by the power and will of Allah, Exalted is He, as a Fitnah and trial for people. Second, when their Zakaah and charity funds were brought to the Prophet ﷺ, he ﷺ said: “These are the Sadaqaat (i.e., Zakaah and charity) of our folk." He ﷺ attributed them to himself because their lineage intersects with the Prophet’s, as they both can be traced back to Ilyaas ibn Mudhar. Third, he ﷺ attributed them to Prophet Ismaa‘eel (Ishmael). ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) had a slave-girl from that tribe, taken prisoner in one of the battles, and the Prophet ﷺsaid to her, "Manumit her as she is a descendant of Prophet Ismaa‘eel (Ishmael).” It is inferred therefrom that it is allowable to take Arab captives as prisoners of war and retain ownership of them as is the case with non-Arab captives. .
