[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ recited a poem by Ka'b ibn Zuhayr that Suad was revealed in his mosque in the city of Madinah. When his words reached the part: "Indeed the Messenger is a sword that is illuminated by, and a scimitar from the swords of Allah, unsheathed in the youth of Quraysh," one of the youths from the people of Makkah who had embraced Islam [said], "They refer to the belly of Makkah when they became Muslims." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ signaled with his chin towards them so they would listen to him. And Bujayr ibn Zuhayr wrote to his brother Ka'b ibn Zuhayr ibn Abi Sulma, intimidating and inviting him to Islam, and he mentioned him in verses: "Who will inform Ka'b? Do you have any criticism against the one I address, even though she is most devoted to Allah, not Al-Uzza or Al-Laat alone? So, seek salvation when the salvation is there, and submit to me on a day where no one will escape, except those with pure hearts, submitting. So the religion of Zuhayr is not invalid, and the religion of Abi Sulma is forbidden upon me."
