ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ اسْتِعْمَالَ مَا يَقُولُ الْأُمَرَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَتَرْكَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ إِذَا خَالَفُوهُمْ

[Machine] I have one of the two in this world and everything in it; one from the Najashi and the other from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . As for what I heard from the Najashi, we were with him when his son, who was from the People of the Book, came to him and presented his tablet. I understood some of their conversation, then there was a verse that made me laugh, so he asked me, "What made you laugh?" By the One in whose hand is my soul, a revelation from the One on the Throne would have been sent if Jesus, son of Mary, had said: "The curse is on the earth when the rule belongs to children." And what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I heard him saying, "Listen to what Quraysh says and leave their actions."
