Al-Aqra ibn Habis al-Tamimi
The Chief of the Tamim Tribe
Отношения с Пророком ﷺ
Al-Aqra ibn Habis came to the Prophet ﷺ as a powerful tribal chief accustomed to deference from all around him. The Prophet ﷺ received him with the same gentleness shown to every visitor, yet the Quran itself addressed the conduct of his tribe, teaching al-Aqra that proper respect for the Prophet was itself a form of worship. He accepted this correction and remained a loyal companion.

Полная биография
Al-Aqra ibn Habis al-Tamimi was a chief of the powerful Tamim tribe who accepted Islam during the Year of Delegations in 9 AH. He was a renowned orator and poet whose tribe was famous for their eloquence and pride. His acceptance of Islam was a significant moment, as the Tamim were one of the largest and most influential Arab tribes, and their chief's conversion helped bring many of his people into the fold of Islam.
He is famously mentioned in the Quran's context indirectly, as his tribe came to the Prophet ﷺ and called out to him from outside his rooms in a manner that was later corrected by Quranic revelation (Surah Al-Hujurat). He participated in various campaigns including those in Iraq. He was known for his pride in tribal honor, which Islam tempered with the greater honor of faith.
