The Deputation of Ghassan
Volume 1, Parts II.74.66
He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Muhammad Ibn Umar informed us; he said: Yahya Ibn 'Abd Allah Ibn Abi Qatadah informed us on the authority of Muhammad Ibn Bukayr al-Ghassani, he on the authority of his people of the Ghassan; they said: We arrived before the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, in the month of Ramadan of the tenth year, at al-Madinah, and we were three persons. We stayed in the house of Ramlah Bint al-Harith. All the members of the deputations of Arabia were testifying to (the Prophethood of) Muhammad, may Allah bless him; so we said to each other: 'Will the Arabs seeing us find us the worst of them? Then we came to the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, and embraced Islam. We testified and bore witness to what he had brought to be true; we said: We do not know if our people will follow us. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, gave them rewards and they returned and reached their people. They did not respond to their appeal, so they concealed their Islam until two of them passed away; the third of them metUmar Ibn alKhattab in the battle of al-Yarmuk. He, met Abu ‘Ubaydah and informed
him about his islam so he showed respect to him.
