The Messenger of Allâh [peace be upon him] went to Banu ‘âmir ibn Sa‘sa‘ah, invited them to Allâh and presented himself to them. A man from among them called Bayharah ibn Firâs said: “By Allâh, if I take this man from the people of Quraysh, I would absorb with the help of him all the Arabs.”

He said to him: “Tell me, if we give you the pledge of allegiance, and then Allâh Almighty makes you victorious over your opponents, will the matter go to us after you?” The Messenger of Allâh [peace be upon him] said: “No doubt, the matter belongs to Allâh Almighty which He places wherever He likes.” Upon that he said to him: “Should we endanger our lives for your sake and, when Allâh makes you victorious over your enemies, the matter will go to others? We have no need for your matter.” They refused his Da‘wah.

When the people left, Banu ‘âmir returned to a man from them who was so old that he could not witness the season of pilgrimage with them. It was their a habit when they return home to tell him about the events of that season.

In that year, they went to him and he asked them about what had happened. They said: “A young man from among the Quraysh, from Banu ‘Abd-al-Muttalib, came to us claiming to be a prophet. He called us to defend and support him and take him to our land.”

The old man placed his hands over his head and said: “O Banu ‘âmir! Could it be rectified? It is over! By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of so-and-so, no one from the descendants of Ishmael has ever claimed to be a prophet even falsely. Indeed, it is the truth. Where was your reason?”[1]
