"Ali said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a detachment, and they captured a man from Banu Sulaym called al-Asyad ibn Salamah. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him, he felt compassion for him and offered him Islam, and he embraced Islam. He had an elderly father, and news of this reached him, so he wrote to him: 'From a rider heading toward Medina, safe, until what I say reaches Usayd. Have you abandoned your father's religion and noble ways, and pledged allegiance this morning to Muhammad?' in verses. Then he asked the Prophet ﷺ's permission to answer him, and he permitted him, so he wrote to him: 'Indeed, He who raised the sky by His power, until He rose high in His dominion and was singular, sent the one whose like has not existed in the past, calling by His mercy the Prophet Muhammad,' in verses. When he read the letter of his son, he came to the Prophet ﷺ."
