It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, I was beneath the mount of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said very excellent things on that occasion. Among them was this: Whoever from the People of the Book becomes a Muslim will receive a double reward and, in rights and duties, he will be like us. And whoever from among the polytheists becomes a Muslim, he will receive his reward and he too will be like us in rights and duties.
