وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، أَنَّ هِرَقْلَ، دَعَا تَرْجُمَانَهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِكِتَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَرَأَهُ ‏"‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ، وَ‏{‏يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ ‏}‏‏"‏ الآيَةَ‏.‏

And Ibn 'Abbas narrated:Abu Sufyan bin Harb told me that Heraclius called for his translator and then asked for the letter of the Prophet (ﷺ), and the former read it (thus): "In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Merciful. (This letter is) from Muhammad bin 'Abdullah, to Heraclius. "...O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you that we worship none but Allah..." (V.3:)

Aur Ibn Abbas ne riwaayat ki: Abu Sufyan bin Harb ne mujhe bataya ke Heraclius ne apne mutarjim ko bulwaaya aur phir Nabi (SAW) ka khat maangaa, aur unhone (mutarjim ne) use padha (isi tarah): 'Allah ke Naam se, jo bahut Meharbaan, bahut Reham Karne wala hai. (Ye khat) Muhammad bin Abdullah ki taraf se hai, Heraclius ke naam. ...Aye Ahl-e-Kitaab (Yahudi aur Isaai): Aao ek aisi baat ki taraf jo hamare aur tumhaare beech barabar hai ke hum Allah ke siwa kisi ki ibaadat na karein...' (3:64)
