When the news of Migration to Abyssinia heard Quraysh they send delegation to Najashi king of Abyssinia and demanded him that,
“hand over us our
criminals.”
Najashi called Muslims in his court and said to them, which is religion you have invented that is against idols and Christ. Hazrat Jahfer bin Tiyar stood up and made an effective speech before Najashi. He Recited some verses of surah Mariam. Hearing this Najashi began to crying and said,
“BY God Quran And the Gospel are from one light. NAJASHI SAID to delegation that i cant hand over them".
Next day Najashi asked about Jesus then Hazrat Jahfer said,
“ Jesus is a man, Prophet of Allah and Kalmah Tu Allah".
then Najashi picked up a straw and said,
“By God what you said, Jesus is not more than this straw".
Najashi embraced Islam. After some years when he died hazrat Mohammad offered his funeral prayer.
