While the Prophet was protected by Abu-Talib, new Muslims often did not have their clan’s support, and were prone to harassment and torture by the Quraysh. To relieve them, the Prophet allowed them to migrate to Habashah (Abyssinia) as it was ruled by a just Christian ruler, Najashi. The Muslims secretly migrated to Habashah and received Najashi’s support. Abu-Talib then sent poetry to Najashi, to appreciate his support and encourage him to accept Islam. In this poetry, he said:
اتعلم ملک الحبش ان محمدا نبی کموسی و المسیح بن مریم
O the king of Habashah, indeed Muhammad is a Prophet like Moses and Jesus, son of Mary
اتی بهدی مثل الذی اتیا به و کل بامرالله یهدی و یعصم
He has brought the message of guidance for all mankind, like the Prophets before him. The previous Prophets guided people on the orders of God for mankind’s salvation as so does he (Prophet Muhammad)
و انکم تتلونه فی کتابکم بصدق حدیث لا حدیث الترجم
And you recite (his name and signs) in your (holy) book as a true story and not a fiction.
فلاتجعلو الله ندا و اسلموا فان طریق الحق لیس بمظلم
So, do not associate anyone with God and believe in Islam since the right path is not dark.
