[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent Khalid bin Walid to the people of Yemen, calling them to Islam, but they did not respond. Then, the Prophet ﷺ sent Ali bin Abi Talib and ordered him to accompany Khalid. Whoever is with Khalid and prefers to join Ali should do so. Al-Bara said, "I was one of those who accompanied Ali. When we approached the people, they came out to meet us. Ali led us in prayer, lining us up in a single row. Then he stood in front of us and recited the Book of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . All the people of Hamdan embraced Islam, so Ali wrote to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informing him of their conversion. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ read the letter, he fell into prostration as a sign of gratitude. Then he raised his head and said, 'Peace be upon Hamdan, peace be upon Hamdan.' Bukhari recorded this in his book from Ahmad bin Uthman, from Shurayh bin Muslim, from Ibrahim bin Yusuf, except he did not complete the entire narration, and the prostration of gratitude comes at the end of the narration, and it is authentic according to its conditions."
