It is narrated from Abu Ubaidah, who reports from a man, who said: I mentioned to Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) that a statement has reached me from you, and I wish to hear it directly from you. He said: Yes, that is fine. When I received news of the appearance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I did not like his emergence; I felt intense aversion to it. I fled from here and reached the territory of Rome. The narrator of the hadith, Yazid, narrated in Baghdad: I fled from here and went to Caesar of Rome, but I became even more troubled than before. So I thought, why not go to this man? If he is a liar, he will not harm me, and if he is truthful, I will come to know. Thus, I returned and presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When I arrived, the people said: ‘Adi bin Hatim, ‘Adi bin Hatim! I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said to me three times: ‘Adi bin Hatim! Enter the fold of Islam, you will be safe. ‘Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said: I am upon a religion. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I know better about your religion than you. I said: Do you know better about my religion than me? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. Are you not from the Rukusiyyah group? (This is a group between the Christians and the Sabeans) And do you not take a fourth of the wealth from your people and eat from it? I said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even though this is not lawful for you in your religion. Sayyiduna ‘Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned these two things, I accepted them. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I also know what is preventing you from accepting Islam. You think that those who have followed Islam are people of weak social standing, and those who have accepted Islam are people who do not possess worldly power or prestige, and the Arabs have driven these Muslims away. Do you know of Hira (a city near Kufa)? I said: I have not seen that city, but I have certainly heard about it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By the One in Whose hand is my soul! Allah will surely make this religion prevail to such an extent that a lone woman will travel from the city of Hira, without anyone’s protection or security, and will perform Tawaf of the House of Allah (the Ka‘bah) without fear, and the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz will surely be conquered by the Muslims. I, ‘Adi, asked in astonishment: The treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, yes, the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz, and wealth will become so abundant that no one will be willing to accept it. ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (According to the prophecy of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, I saw such a time of peace that) a lone woman travels from Hira without anyone’s protection or security and performs Tawaf of the House of Allah without fear, and I myself was among those who conquered the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, the third matter will surely also be fulfilled, because this was said by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
