I am prepared to share this mission with you. But the Quraysh are an aggressive people. Musaylamah despatched two of his men with the letter to the Prophet. I would have smitten both your necks. From Muhammad the Messenger of God, to Musaylamah the imposter.
Peace be upon whoever follows the guidance.
God will bequeath the earth to whosoever of His servants He wishes and the final triumph will be for those who are careful of their duty to God. He sent the letter with the two men. Musaylamah's evil and corrupting influence continued to spread and the Prophet considered it necessary to send another letter to him inviting him to abandon his misguided ways. The Prophet chose Habib ibn Zayd to take this letter to Musaylamah. Habib was by this time in the prime of his youth and a firm believer in the truth of Islam with every fibre of his being.
