They will send a scouting party to see whether it is the Masīḥ. They will return to them and say, ‘We saw nothing and heard nothing.’ They will say, ‘By Allah, the crier cried out only from heaven or from the earth. Come, let us all go out. If the Masīḥ is there, we will fight him until Allah judges between us and him, and He is the best of judges. If it is something else, then it is your lands, your armies, and your clans to which you have returned.’”
