Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the People of Elephant (Abraha, the Christian viceroy in Yemen of the king of Abyssinia)? Did. He not cause their plan to miscarry? And He sent against them swarms of birds. Which ate their carrion, striking them against stones of clay. And thus made them like broken straw, eaten up. (105:1-6) sa. Some years later Yemen appears to have passed under the sovereignty of Iran. When the king of Iran received the letter of the. Holy Prophet and noticed that the letter starts with the name of. Allāh and the name of the Holy Prophet" instead of the name of the king which was the Iranian custom to address the king, he was enraged. He considered this way of addressing an insult to him and tore down the letter into pieces. Furthermore, he ordered Bädhān, the Governor of Yemen to imprison this claimant of the new religion and present to him in his court. Bādhān sent his two messengers to Medina who told the Holy Prophet" that Chosroes has asked him to come to his court. The Holy Prophet" told them to wait for a short while for his response. After a couple of days the. Holy Prophet told the emissaries of the Governor of Yemen to go back as his Lord has killed their lord. When the representatives of the Governor of Yemen returned to him they received the news that. Sherawiyyah had assassinated his father Chosroes Pervaiz, the king of Persia and has cancelled all the decrees and orders issued by his father. sa sa sa (Al-Tabari, Vol. 3, pp. 1583-1584; Fath Al-Bari, 8/127,128) 177
