له پیغمبر ﷺ سره اړیکه

The Prophet treated Wail with exceptional personal warmth, seating him beside him, giving him his own cloak, and praying specifically for his offspring. This extraordinary welcome showed the Prophet's recognition of Wail's sacrifice in leaving royalty for faith. Wail treasured this closeness and transmitted detailed accounts of the Prophet's prayer and physical conduct that remain invaluable in Islamic jurisprudence.

بشپړ ژوندلیک

Wail ibn Hujr al-Hadrami was a king and chieftain from the noble Hadrami lineage of Yemen. When he heard of the Prophet Muhammad, he voluntarily journeyed to Medina to embrace Islam, renouncing his kingship in favour of faith. The Prophet received him with great honour and personally welcomed him, saying 'Wail ibn Hujr has come to you — one of the kings of Yemen — of his own free will.' The Prophet gave him his cloak and prayed for Wail and his descendants.

He returned to Yemen as an ambassador of Islam, and his conversion carried enormous prestige given his royal standing. He settled eventually in Kufa and became an important hadith narrator for Iraq. He is known for carefully describing the Prophet's prayer posture and manner of recitation, transmitting detailed narrations about Islamic ritual that scholars prize to this day. He passed away in Kufa around 50 AH.
