[Machine] A messenger was sent among us whom we knew his language, truthfulness, and loyalty. He invited us to worship Allah alone without associating anything with Him, and he denounced what our people and others besides them used to worship. He commanded us to do good and to forbid evil, and he instructed us to perform prayer, fasting, charity, and maintaining family ties. He invited us to what we were familiar with and recited to us a revelation that came from Allah which no one else resembles. So, we believed in him, trusted him, and recognized that what he brought was the truth from Allah. At that time, our people mistreated and persecuted us. When they reached a point where we could no longer tolerate their harm, we left for your land and chose you over anyone else. The Najashi (King of Ethiopia) said, "Go, for you are safe in my land. Whoever harms you will be punished."
