On the following day Amru bin al-Ass and Amarah decided to go to the King's Palace. On their way, Amru bin al-Ass said to Amarah: This time, I,ll get my revenge on Ja'far. I'll tell the kings that the Muslims have another idea about 'Isa. Again the delegates came to al-Najashy and said: Your majesty; the king, the Muslims say that 'Isa is a slave. Al-Najashy kept silent for a while then he said to the guard: Go to Ja'far to hear his point of view Ja'far came and greeted the King and said: Assalamu Alaikum. The King asked him: What's your point of view about 'Isa? Ja'far answered calmly: We say as Allah and His Apostle have said about him. The King asked him: What's your Prophet said? He's Allah's slave, His Apostle, His Spirit, His Word that He has given to the chaste, virgin Maryam. Al-Najashy kept silent for a while, then he drew a line on the ground with his stick. So, he said: Go to your friends. You're safe in my country. Again the delegates' plot came to nothing. The delegates hopelessly came back to Makkah. Since that meeting, the Muslims had been happy in the land of the just King. Our Master Muhammad [s] and the Muslims rejoiced at Ja'far's victory and his stay in Habasha. |
