Messenger of Allah also sent Hateb ibn Abi Balteh to Maquqs, the ruler of Egypt, and invited him to Islm. Letters of the Holy Prophet were saying: "In the Name of Allah,from Mohammed bin Abdullah to the great Maquqs of Egypt, greetings to the(true) followers, and then I invite you to accept the religion of Islam.

If you do so, Allah will reward you double returns, otherwise you shall bear the sin of all Qibites. "

Considering the stamp and signature of the Holy Prophet, Maquqs read the letter. He then placed it in a container of ivory and asked Hateb ibn Abi Balteh to talk about the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and his lifestyle and characters.
