(See Hadith No 6, Vol 1 for details)

Phir Abu Sufyan ne poori riwaayat sunaayi aur kaha, 'Heraclius ne Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ka khat maangaya. Jab khat padha gaya, uski ibaarat aisi thi: "Allah ke naam se, jo bada meharbaan, nihaayat rehm karne wala hai. Muhammad, Allah ke bande aur uske Rasool, ki taraf se, Heraclius, Byzantines ke sardaar, ke naam: Salaamati ho us par jo seedhe raaste (hidaayat) ki pairvi kare! Amma Ba'du (aage)..."'
