˜Abdullah bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi was chosen to carry the letter.This envoy carried it to the king of Bahrain but we do not know asyet if the latter despatched to Chosroes by one of his men or choose˜Abdullah himself.The proud monarch was enraged by the style of the letter as the name of the Prophet had been put above his own name. He torethe letter into shreds and forth with dictated a command to his viceroy in Yemen to send a couple of troopers to arrest the Prophet and bring him to his presence. The governor, Bazan by name,immediately sent two men to Madinah for the purpose. As soon as the men reached Madinah, the Prophet was informed by a Divine Revelation that Pervez, the emperor of Persia, had been murdered by his son. The Prophet disclosed to them the new sand they were stunned. He added asking them to tell their new monarch that Islam would prevail every where and outstrip the sovereignty of Chosroes himself. They hurried back to Bazan and communicated to him what they heard. Meanwhile, Sherweh, the new monarch sent a letter to Bazan confirming the news and bidding him to stop any procedures as regards the Prophet till further notice. Bazan, together with the Persians in Yemen, went into the folds of Islam, and gladly signified his adhesion to theProphet.
