It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that my heart became disillusioned with the idols of my people during the time of ignorance. So I inquired about the Prophet (peace be upon him), and found out that he was keeping himself hidden. I reached there by means of some cleverness, greeted him with Salam, and asked, "Who are you?" He replied, "A Prophet!" I asked, "What is a Prophet?" He replied, "A messenger of Allah." I asked, "Who has sent you?" He replied, "Allah Almighty." I asked, "With what message has He sent you?" He replied, "With the message of maintaining ties of kinship, protecting lives, establishing peace and security on the roads, breaking idols, and worshipping Allah in such a way that no one is associated with Him." I said, "You have been sent as a caller to the best of things, and I bear witness before you that I have believed in you and affirm you. Should I stay with you or what do you advise?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "For now, you see how much people are expressing dislike for my teachings, so for the time being, return to your home, and when you hear of my emergence, then come to me." ... Then he mentioned the complete hadith.
