Which companion of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) recited verses from the Holy Quran in front of King Najashi (Negus)?

  • (A) Hazrat Abu Abbas (R.A)
  • (B) Hazrat Jaffar Tayyar (R.A)
  • (C) Hazrat Sa’ad bin Abi Waqas (R.A)
  • (D) Hazrat Zaid bin Haris (R.A)
  • Migration in Context: The persecution of the Muslim population in Mecca was on the rise, and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) directed a group of his companions to immigrate to Abyssinia, now known as Ethiopia. King Najashi, the ruler of Abyssinia, was a Christian monarch who was known for his justice and never allowed injustice in his kingdom. Hazrat Ja'far ibn Abi Talib (RA), the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), led the caravan of Muslim refugees.
  • The Event: The Quraysh sent representatives to King Najashi, demanding the return of the Muslim refugees. The Quraysh claimed that the Muslim refugees had abandoned their faith and spoken ill of Jesus. The King called the Muslim refugees before him and asked them to declare their faith about Jesus.
  • The Recitation: Hazrat Ja'far (RA), the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), stood up and gave a compelling speech about the teachings of the Islamic faith. The King asked the Muslim refugees about their faith regarding Jesus. Instead of giving a mere answer, Hazrat Ja'far (RA) quoted from the Holy Quran about Jesus. The verses are from Surah Maryam, which describes the birth of Jesus and Mary in a very honorable way.
  • The Outcome: The King was so moved by the verses recited from the Holy Quran by Hazrat Ja'far (RA) that he started crying and said that these verses and the teachings of Jesus are from the same source of light. The King refused to hand over the Muslim refugees to the Quraysh and gave them refuge in his kingdom.
