أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى أَرْضِ النَّجَاشِيِّ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ قُرَيْشًا فَبَعَثُوا إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَعُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَجَمَعُوا لِلنَّجَاشِيِّ هَدَايَا فَقَدِمْنَا وَقَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ فَأَتَوْهُ بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَقَبِلَهَا وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ إِنَّ قَوْمًا مِنَّا رَغِبُوا عَنْ دِينِنَا وَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّجَاشِيُّ فِي أَرْضِي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ لَنَا جَعْفَرٌ لَا يَتَكَلَّمْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ أَنَا خَطِيبُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعُمَارَةُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَالْقِسِّيسُونَ مِنَ الرُّهْبَانِ جُلُوسٌ سِمَاطَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمْرٌو وَعُمَارَةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ لَكَ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ زَبَرَنَا مَنْ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْقِسِّيسِينَ وَالرُّهْبَانِ اسْجُدُوا لِلْمَلِكِ فَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ لَا نَسْجُدُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّجَاشِيُّ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ فِينَا رَسُولَهُ وَهُوَ الرَّسُولُ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ بِهِ عِيسَى بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِهِ اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ فَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَلَا نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَنُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ وَنُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرَنَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ قَالَ فَأَعْجَبَ النَّاسَ قَوْلُهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ عَمْرٌو قَالَ لَهُ أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ الْمَلِكَ إِنَّهُمْ يُخَالِفُونَكَ فِي عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ فَقَالَ النَّجَاشِيُّ لِجَعْفَرٍ مَا يَقُولُ صَاحِبُكَ فِي ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ؟ قَالَ يَقُولُ فِيهِ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ هُوَ رُوحُ اللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْبَتُولِ الْعَذْرَاءِ لَمْ يَقْرَبْهَا بَشَرٌ قَالَ فَتَنَاوَلَ النَّجَاشِيُّ عُودًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَرَفَعَهُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْقِسِّيسِينَ وَالرُّهْبَانِ مَا يَزِيدُ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ مَا يَزِنُ هَذِهِ مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ وَبِمَنْ جِئْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّهُ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ بِهِ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَلَوْلَا مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ لَأَتَيْتُهُ حَتَّى أَحْمِلَ نَعْلَيْهِ امْكُثُوا فِي أَرْضِي مَا شِئْتُمْ وَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ بِطَعَامٍ وَكِسْوَةٍ وَقَالَ رُدُّوا عَلَى هَذَيْنِ هَدِيَّتَهُمْ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to set out for the land of the Negus. This reached Quraysh, so they sent Amr b. al-As and Umarah b. al-Walid, and they gathered gifts for the Negus. We arrived, and they arrived at the Negus. They brought him a gift, and he accepted it, and they prostrated to him. Then Amr b. al-As said, "A people from among us have turned away from our religion, and they are in your land." The Negus said to them, "In my land?" He said, "Yes." So he sent for us. Ja'far said to us, "Let none of you speak; I am your spokesman today." We came to the Negus while he was seated in his assembly, with Amr b. al-As on his right and Umarah on his left, and the priests and monks were seated in two rows. Amr and Umarah said to him, "They do not prostrate to you." When we reached him, the priests and monks who were with him shouted at us, "Prostrate to the king!" Ja'far said, "We prostrate only to Allah." The Negus said to him, "And what is that?" He said, "Allah sent among us His Messenger, and he is the Messenger whose coming Jesus announced, a Messenger who would come after him, whose name is Ahmad. He commanded us to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him, to establish prayer, to give zakat, and he commanded us to do good and forbade us from evil." He said, "The people were impressed by his words. When Amr saw that, he said to him, 'May Allah preserve the king, they disagree with you about Jesus son of Mary.' The Negus said to Ja'far, 'What does your companion say about the son of Mary?' He said, 'He says about him the word of Allah: he is the Spirit of Allah and His Word, which He brought forth from the chaste virgin, whom no human being touched.' He said, 'The Negus picked up a stick from the ground and raised it, saying, "O assembly of priests and monks, what these people say about the son of Mary does not exceed what you say by the weight of this. Welcome to you and to the one from whom you have come. I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah, and that he is the one whose coming Jesus son of Mary announced. Were it not for the kingship I am in, I would come to him and carry his sandals. Stay in my land as long as you wish." He ordered food and clothing for them, and said, "Return to these two their gift."
