Sayyid Tayy (Chieftain of Tayy), Champion of Hunting Jurisprudence • رضي الله عنه
Son of Hatim al-Ta'i, the legendary Arab archetype of generosity. Was a Christian Arab chieftain who fled to Syria upon the Muslim advance, but returned to Madinah upon the counsel of his captive sister Safanah. Observed the humble, unpretentious lifestyle of the Prophet ﷺ and recognized his true divine prophethood.
“The Prophet ﷺ said to Adiyy: 'O Adiyy, perhaps what holds you back from accepting this religion is the poverty you see around them... By Allah, wealth will soon overflow among them until no one can be found to accept it, and a woman will travel alone from al-Hirah to circumambulate the Ka'bah fearing none but Allah.' Adiyy said: 'And I witnessed that woman travel in security.'”
