He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Muhammad Ibn ‘Umar al-Aslami informed us; he said: Abu Bakr Ibn ‘Abd Allah Ibn ‘Abi Sabrah related to me on the authority of Ya’qab Ibn Zayd Ibn Talhah he said: A deputation of Banu Taghlib, consisting of sixteen beleivers, and Christians with golden crosses awaited the presence of the Apostle of Allah. They were accommodated in the house of Ramlah Bint al-Harith. The Apostle of Allah established a peaceful relationship with the Christians, stipulating that they would not perform the baptism of their children into Christianity.
