answer. A day later she uttered similar words, this time he made benefaction to her. The man  who was beside the Prophet, and whom she thought to be ‘Ali, said to her: “Ask for an animal  from him to ride on.” And she was granted her request.
She returned to Ash-Sham where she met her brother and said to him: “The Messenger of Allâh
(peace be upon him) has done me such noble deed that your father would never have done it.
Therefore, willy-nilly, frightened or secure, you should go and see him.” Unsecure neither  protected by some one, not even recommended by a letter as a means of protection, ‘Adi came  and met the Prophet. The Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) took him home with him. As  soon as he sat before him, the Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) thanked Allâh and  praised him, then said: “What makes you flee? Do you flee lest you should say there is no god  but Allâh? Do you know any other god but Allâh?” “No” he said, then talked for a while. The
Messenger of Allâh went on saying: “Certainly you flee so that you may not hear the statement  saying ‘Allâh is the Greatest.’ Do you know anyone who is greater than Allâh?” “No” he said. “The
Jews are those whose portion is wrath, and the Christians are those who have gone astray,” the
Prophet retorted. “I am a Muslim and I believe in one God (Allâh).” ‘Adi finally proclaimed with a  joyous face. The Prophet ordered him a residence with one of the Helpers. From that time he  started calling at the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the mornings and in the evenings.
On the authority of Ibn Ishaq, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) made him sit down in front  of him in his house, the Prophet said, “O ‘Adi, were you not cast in disbelief?” “Yes”. ‘Adi said.
“Did you not share one quarter of your people’s gains?” “Yes”. Said ‘Adi. The Messenger of Allâh
(peace be upon him) said: “It is sinful in your religion to do such a thing, and you should not  allow yourself to do it.” “Yes, by Allâh, that is true”, said ‘Adi. “Thus I worked out that he was a
Prophet inspired by Allâh, and sent to people. He knows what is unknown.”
In another version, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “‘Adi, embrace Islam and you shall be  secure.” “But I am a man of religion.” Said ‘Adi. “I know your religion better than you.” Said the
Prophet. “Do you know my religion better than me?” ‘Adi asked. The Prophet replied, “Yes”. He  said: “Are you not cast in disbelief because you appropriate to yourself the fourth of your  people’s gains?” “Yes”. Said ‘Adi. “It is unlawful in your religion to do such a thing.” The Prophet  said, and ‘‘Adi added: “He did not need to say it again for I immediately acquiesced it.”
Al-Bukhari narrates that ‘Adi said: While we were with the Prophet (peace be upon him) , a man  came in and complained to him about poverty. Then another man came in and complained about  highway robbery. The Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) then said: “O ‘Adi, have you ever  been to Al-Hirah? If you were doomed to live long life, you would be able to see a riding camel  woman travel from Hirah till it circumambulates Al-Ka‘bah fearing none but Allâh; and if you  were to live long enough you would open the treasures of Kisra. And if you were to live long you  would be able to see man offering a handful of gold or silver to others but none accepts to take  it.” At the end of this Hadith ‘Adi later on says: “I have seen a riding camel woman travel from
Al-Hirah till it circumambulates the Ka‘bah fearing none but Allâh, I have also been one of those  who opened the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz. If you were to live long life you would witness  what the Prophet, Abul Qasim, (peace be upon him) had already said about ‘offering a handful of
’ i.e. the Prophet’s prophecies did really come true.”
