Then he said: `By theOne in Whose Handis my soul, were it not that it would be toodifficult for theMuslims, I would never have stayed behind from anyexpedition thatwent out in the cause of Allah. But I could not findthe resources togive them mounts and they could not find theresources to follow me,nor would they be pleased to stay behind if Iwent. By the One inWhose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, I wish Icould fight in the causeof Allah and be killed, then fight and bekilled, then fight and bekilled.'"

Then invite them to leavetheir land andmove to the land of the polytheists. Tell them that ifthey do that,then they will have the same rights and duties as thepolytheists.
