Ileta kaMuhammad eyaya kuMlawuli waseRoma
UMuhammad wathumela iileta kubalawuli nookumkani bamazwe angabamelwane kunye namagunya amakhulu anjengePersi, iByzantine neYiputa ebabiza ukuba bamkele i-Islam “njengomyalezo kaThixo”. Xa uHeraclius uKumkani waseByzantine wafumana ileta kaMuhammad, wamema uAbu-Sufyan (enye yeenkosi eziphambili nabarhwebi baseMakkah owathi ngebhaqo eshishina kuloo ndawo) ukuba aye kuye. UHeraclius wabuza uAbu-Sufyan imibuzo embalwa waza wamcela ukuba anyaniseke.
| Heraclius | Loluphi udidi lwentlalo yoluntu aphuma kulo uMuhammad? |
| Abu-Sufyan | Uphuma kwintsapho ebekekileyo eMakkah. |
| Heraclius | Ngaba wakha wangcatsha, wasaphula isithembiso okanye waxoka? |
| Abu-Sufyan | Hayi. |
| Heraclius | Kuthekani ngabalandeli bakhe, ngaba bayanda okanye bayehla? Yaye ngaba ukho kubalandeli bakhe abakhe bayeka ngenxa yokuba wayengakholiswanga nguMuhammad? |
| Abu-Sufyan | Enyanisweni, abalandeli bakaMuhammad babemthanda. Babesanda ngenani. |
| Heraclius | Ngoko uMuhammad ubafundisa ntoni abalandeli bakhe? |
| Abu-Sufyan | Ukukholelwa kuThixo omnye kunye nobulungisa bentlalo. |
UHeraclius wayecinga okwexeshana, emva koko wathi: "Ukuba le nto undixelele yona iyinyani, uMuhammad uzokwazi ukubudla ilifa ubukumkani bam".
UMlawuli uHeraclius walawula uBukhosi baseRoma ukusuka ngo-610 ukuya ku-640 CE. Ngelo xesha waqhuba amaphulo amathathu omkhosi waboyisa uBukhosi bamaPersi waphinda wazuza iSiriya, iPalestine neJiphutha. Ngonyaka wama-636 CE, ubuMuslim bafikelela ePalestina, eSiriya, eYiputa nakwinxalenye enkulu yoMntla Afrika. Ngonyaka wama-642 CE amaMuslim afikelela ePersi.
