He did that, and one morning he came to me and said, "O 'Adi, whatever you were going to do when Muhammad 's cavalry should descend upon you, do it now, for I have seen banners and when I inquired about them I was told that they were Muhammad's army." I asked him to bring my camels, which he did, and I took my family and children and told him that I would join my fellow Christians in Syria. I traveled to al-Jushiyyah and left one of Hatim's daughters in that settlement. When I reached Syria I stayed there.}}

{{Quote|{{Tabari|9|p. 69}}|Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. '''Killing him is a small matter to us.'''}}

Qays b. Shammas, a brother of Balharith b. al-Khazraj, "Get up and answer the man's speech." Thabit got up and said: "Praise belongs to God who created heaven and earth and carried out His command therein, and His knowledge encompasses His Throne. Nothing exists but by His bounty. By His power He made us kings and chose the best of His creation as a prophet who is the noblest in lineage, the most truthful in speech, and the best in noble descent. He sent down to him His book and entrusted him with His creatures. He was the chosen one of God from the worlds. Then he summoned people to faith, and the Emigrants from his people and his kinsfolk believed in the Messenger of God. They are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. Then the first of creation to answer and respond to God when the Messenger of God summoned them were ourselves. We are the Helpers of God and the viziers of His Messenger, and we fight people until they believe in God. He who believes in God and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions [from us]; as for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the cause of God and killing him is a small matter to us. I say this and ask God's forgiveness for myself and the believing men and the believing women. Peace be upon you."}}
