Upon learning about the entrance of the Muslim group, al-Najāshī called them to the court. Ja'far b. Abī-Tālib said to al-Najāshī,"I will tell you what I have heard from my leader, the Prophet (s)." Then as a spokesperson of Islam, he said,"A prophet has emerged among us to call us to avoid idolatory, usury, wronging others, unjust bloodshed, adultery, and fornication. He has invited us to prayer, zakāt (charity), justice and kindness to neighbors." Then, al-Najāshī asked him,"Do you have anything from what the Prophet (s) has brought you from God?" Ja'far read verses from the Sura 19 (Maryam) which was about the story of Mary and Jesus. Al-Najāshī wept after he heard these verses. Meccan unbelievers had tried to persuade al-Najāshī with gifts to reject the Muslim group; but he refused their request. Muslims could live safely in that land. | Upon learning about the entrance of the Muslim group, al-Najāshī called them to the court. Ja'far b.
