replies satisfied their hearts. None doubted that the man sitting before them was indeed
the one the Jews awaited and turned to one another saying, "This is indeed the Prophet
the Jews warned us about, don't let them be the first to reach him!" They remembered
how the Jews had told them that when he came they would be destroyed on account of
their worshipping more than one god, just as the people of Aad and Thamood had been
in centuries past, and so they embraced Islam.
Before they departed, the Khazrajites told the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam), "We
left our people because there are no other tribes like them torn apart by enmity and evil,
perhaps Allah will unite them through you. We will return and invite them to Islam just as
we have heard it, and if Allah gathers them together on your account, then no man will
be greater than you!"
