[Machine] He is called Al-Mandaqun, so he invited him to Islam. The Christian mentioned Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , so Al-Mandaqun adopted it and raised it to Amr ibn Al-As. He sent [a message] to him and said, "We have given them the treaty." Al-Mandaqun said, "May Allah forbid that we give them treaties and covenants while they harm us in Allah and His Messenger. We only gave them [these treaties] so that we can be peaceful with them and their churches, and they can say whatever they want in them. And we will not burden them with anything they cannot bear. And we will fight from behind them, and we will leave them and their rules except if they come to us, then we will judge between them by what Allah has revealed." Amr ibn Al-As said, "You speak the truth."
