So the Syrian said...

So the Syrian said, ‘So does He -azwj Establish for them the one -asws who would gather their speeches (to be in unison) and he -asws would inform them of their rights from their wrongs?’ Hisham said, ‘During the time of Rasool-Allah -saww , or at the moment?’ The Syrian said: ‘During the time of Rasool-Allah -saww , and at the moment, who?’ So Hisham said, ‘This here is the guide -asws to whom the riders travel and he -asws informs us with the news of the sky and the earth, and is an inheritor from a father -asws , and from a grandfather -asws ’.

The Syrian said, ‘My excuses are cut off, so upon me is the question’. So Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘O Syrian! I -asws shall inform you how your journey was, and how your travel path was. It was such and such’. So the Syrian turned facing, saying, ‘You -asws speak the truth. I submit to Allah -azwj (become Muslim) this very moment’. So Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘But, at the moment, you believe in Allah -azwj .

So I, at this moment, testify that there is no god except Allah -azwj , and that Muhammad -saww is Rasool-Allah -saww , and you -asws are a successor -asws of the successors -asws ’.
