Excerpts from The Sealed Nectar
"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
From Muhammad, Messenger of Allah to Haudhah bin 'Ali.
Peace be upon him who follows true guidance. Be informed that my religion shall prevail everywhere. You should accept Islam, and whatever is under your command shall remain yours."
The envoy chosen was Sulait Bin 'Amr Al-'Amiri (ra), who after communicating his message, carried back the following reply to the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam:
" The faith to which you invite me, is very good. I am a famous orator and poet, the Arabs highly respect me and I hold a position among them. If you include me in your government, I am prepared to follow you."
The Governor then bestowed a reward on Sulait and presented him with clothes made of Hajar fabric. Of course, he put all those presents before the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
The prophet did not accept how does demand. He usually turned down such authoritative tone, and would say that the whole Matter was in the Hand of Allah, Who gave His land to whoever he desired. Jibreel later came with the Revelation that Haudhah had died. The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, in the context of his comment on this news, said:
"As for Yamamah, from it will come a liar claiming prophethood after me, but he shall be killed."
When someone asked who would kill him, he replied:
"You and your companions."
And it occurred as he said.
