His Islam in Mecca (The Sealed Nectar p. 134)
He was from Azd Shanu'a in Yemen and practised incantation against wind. He heard the foolish people of Mecca say that the Prophet was mad, and he said: "If I came to this man, perhaps God would heal him through me." When the Prophet presented the khutba to him, he said: "I have heard the words of soothsayers, the words of sorcerers and the words of poets, but I have never heard words like these of yours." Then he pledged to Islam 1 2.
