The story of Khuzoth was different. When the Message
of Mohammed inviting him to Islam was read to Khuzoth he became very angry. He
sent a letter to his Governor Bashan asking him to capture the new prophet and
put him among his slaves. In his return, Bashan sent a message to Mohammed. In
the meanwhile, Khuzroth’s son came to power in the place of Khuzoth. Mohammed
got this information and he conveyed this information to the messengers of Bazan.
He also asked him to take Mohammed’s messengers to Bazan inviting him to Isalm.
The people of Yemen had knowledge of the defeat of Qureshians and they realized
that it had weakened the power they exercised over them. They also came to know
about the success of Mohammed over Qureshi and the crushing of the power of
Jews by Mohammed. Bazan’s men conveyed the message of Mohammed to him. He
thereupon embraced Islam and continued as the Governor of Yemen.
The response of Mutuoqis, the catholic Arch Bishop of
Egypt was different from that of Khuzroth. He received the message of Mohammed
and sent presentations to Mohammed which included two slave girls, some wealth
and some precious article of Egypt. Mohammed married one of the girl by name Marithel
Khivtiya and the son Ibrahim was born in that wedlock.
