"عَنْ عَدِىِّ بنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ: بُعِثَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ فَكَرِهْتُهُ أَشَدَّ مَا كَرِهْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَنْزِلَ أَقْصَى الْعَرَبِ مِمَّا يَلِى الرُّومَ، فَكَرِهْتُ مَكَانِى أَشَدَّ مَا كَرِهْتُ مَكَانِى الأَوَّلَ فَقُلْتُ لآتِيَنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا لَا يَضُرّنِى، وَإِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا لَا يَخفَ عَلَىَّ، فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ (فَاسْتَشْرفنى) النَّاسُ فَقَالُوا: جَاءَ عَدِىُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ يَا عَدِىُّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ: أَنْتَ الْهَارِبُ مِنَ الله وَرَسُولِهِ؟ يَا عَدِىُّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ: أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ، قُلْتُ: إِنِّى مِنْ أَهْلِ دِينٍ، قَالَ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِدِينِكَ مِنْكَ، قُلْتُ: أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِدينِى مِنِّى؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَلَسْتَ رَكُوسِيّا؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: أَوَلَسْتَ تَرْأَسُ قَوْمَكَ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: أَوَلَسْتَ تَأخُذُ الْمِرْبَاعَ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ فِى دِينِكَ، فَتَوَاضَعْتُ في نَفْسِى، قَالَ: يَا عَدِىُّ بْنَ حَاتِم أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ فَإنِّى مَا أظنُّ أَوْ أَحْسبُ أَنَّهُ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ أَنْ تُسْلِمَ إِلَّا خَصَاصَةٌ مَنْ تَرَى حَوْلِى، وَأَنَّكَ تَرَى الَنَّاسَ عَلَيْنَا إِلْبًا وَاحدًا وَيَدًا وَاحِدَةً، فَهَلْ أَتَيْتَ الْحِيرةَ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ مَكَانَهَا، قَالَ: يُوشِكُ الظَّعِينَةُ أَنْ تَرْحَلَ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ بِغَيْرِ جِوارٍ، وَلَتُفْتَحَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قُلْتُ: كِسْرَى بْنُ هُرْمُزَ؟ قَالَهَا ثَلاثًا، يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُهِمَّ الرَّجُل مَنْ يَقْبَلُ صَدَقَةً، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الظَّعِينَةَ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ بِغَيْرِ جِوَارٍ، وَلَقَدْ كُنْتُ فِى أَوَّلِ خَيْلٍ غَارَتْ عَلَى الْمَدَائِنِ، وَلَتَحَقَّقُ الثَّالِثَةُ إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ قَالَهُ".

"From 'Adi ibn Hatim, who said: The Prophet ﷺ was sent, and I disliked him more than I had ever disliked anything. So I set out until I settled at the furthest part of the Arabs, adjoining the Romans. I disliked my place there more than I had disliked my first place, so I said: "I will certainly go to this man. If he is a liar, it will not harm me, and if he is truthful, it will not be hidden from me." So I came to Madinah, and the people were eager to see me. They said: "'Adi ibn Hatim has come." The Prophet ﷺ said: "O 'Adi ibn Hatim, are you the one who flees from Allah and His Messenger?" Then he said: "O 'Adi ibn Hatim, embrace Islam and you will be safe." I said: "I am a man of a religion." He said: "I know your religion better than you do." I said: "You know my religion better than I do?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Are you not a Rakusi?" I said: "Yes." He said: "Do you not lead your people?" I said: "Yes." He said: "Do you not take the mirba'?" I said: "Yes." He said: "That is not lawful for you in your religion." So I was humbled within myself. He said: "O 'Adi ibn Hatim, embrace Islam and you will be safe. I think, or I suppose, that what prevents you from embracing Islam is the poverty you see around me, and that you see the people united against us as one body and one hand. Have you been to al-Hirah?" I said: "No, but I know where it is." He said: "It is almost certain that a litter will travel from al-Hirah until it circles the House without an escort, and the treasures of Chosroes son of Hormuz will certainly be conquered for you." I said: "Chosroes son of Hormuz?" He said it three times. "It is almost certain that a man will look for someone to accept his charity and not find one." I saw the litter leaving al-Hirah until it circled the House without an escort. I was among the first cavalry that raided the cities (of Persia), and the third (prophecy) will certainly come true, for it is the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said it."
