LETTER TO SOHAIL BIN 'AMR - LETTERS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD

Letters & Treaties of Muhammad the Messenger of Allah

LETTER TO SOHAIL BIN 'AMR

In the name Of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Immediately on receipt of this letter, send me Zamzam water.

Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad

Note: As already mentioned elsewhere, Sohail bin 'Amar was a bitter enemy of Islam and made highly inflammable and virulent speeches against the Holy Prophet(Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam). He was the person who made peace with the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) on behalf of the Quraish on his own terms, after a considerable argumentation. After the conquest of Makkah, he hid himself in his home and requested his son Abu Jundal (Raziallah Anho) to have his life spared. An account of the persecution, of Abu Jundal, who had embraced Islam, by his father Sohail, appears elsewhere in this book. The Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) generously forgave all his past faults. Sohail was so moved by the limitless kindness of the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam), that he sincerely embraced Islam and became one of the greatest devotees of Islam. It is well known that none excelled him in saying more prayers, or keeping more fasts and giving more charity. The excess of prayers and fasts extremely emaciated him. As soon as he received the above letter, he sent two water skins of Zamzam Water to the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam)

LETTER TO HAUZA BIN ALI, GOVERNOR OF YAMAMA - LETTERS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD

Letters & Treaties of Muhammad the Messenger of Allah

LETTER TO HAUZA BIN ALI, GOVERNOR OF YAMAMA

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful

From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah --

To Hauza bin Ali

May peace be on him who follows the guidance. It may be clarified that my deen (faith) shall reach the boundaries of the entire Arabia and Iran and shall prevail. Therefore you should accept Islam. There in lies security. I have nothing to do with your country. It shall, as before, remain under your jurisdiction.'

Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad

REPLY OF THE GOVERNOR OF YAMAMA

'The deen (faith) towards which you invite me, is very good. I am a famous orator and poet. Therefore the Arabs highly respect me. If you include me in your government, I am prepared to follow you".

Note: The Holy Prophet did not accept the demand of Hauza. He usually refused such peremptory demands and would say that the matter was in the control of Allah, who gave His land to whoever he wanted.

A Christian scholar had advised Hauza to accept Islam and told him that the Arab Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) would not have deprived him of his lands. He had informed him that Isa (Jesus, A.S.) had given the good news in the Bible, that a Prophet would come. Hauza, however, could not overcome the fear of losing his country and did not accept Islam.
