Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Mirthad that a letter from the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to us, but we could not find any literate person who could read it out to us. Eventually, a man from Banu Zubay‘ah read the letter to us, the contents of which were: "From the Messenger of Allah to Bakr bin Wa’il: Accept Islam and you will find safety."
