الطفيل بن عمرو الدوسي
Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr al-Dawsi
The Chief Who Brought His Tribe to Islam
Hubungan dengan Nabi ﷺ
Al-Tufayl's relationship with the Prophet was defined by an immediate, powerful spiritual bond formed when he first heard Quranic recitation. The Prophet gave him a personal mission — to call the Daws tribe — and prayed specifically for them when al-Tufayl faced difficulties. This personal investment by the Prophet in al-Tufayl's mission motivated him to persevere until the entire tribe accepted Islam.

Biografi Lengkap
Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr al-Dawsi was a prominent poet and chieftain of the Daws tribe in southern Arabia. He went to Mecca before the Hijra, where the Quraysh warned him not to listen to Muhammad, even stuffing cotton in his ears as he entered. Despite their warnings, he heard the Quran recited and was so moved by its beauty that he sought out the Prophet privately. He embraced Islam immediately and was given the mission of returning to his tribe to call them to Islam.
After initially facing rejection from his tribe, he returned to the Prophet with a small group of converts. The Prophet prayed for the Daws tribe: 'O Allah, guide the Daws!' and sent al-Tufayl back. Eventually the entire tribe embraced Islam and al-Tufayl led over 80 households to Medina at the time of Khaybar. He fought bravely and was martyred at the Battle of Yamama during the wars against apostasy in 11 AH — dying while calling his people to hold firm.
