Allah Mtukufu anasema:

Allah the Almighty says:

Hakika kwa watu wa Saba' (Sheba) kulikuwa na ishara katika makao yao: mabustani mawili, moja upande wa kulia na jingine upande wa kushoto. (Waliambiwa:) "Kuleni katika riziki ya Mola wenu Mlezi, na mshukuruni Yeye. Ni nchi nzuri na Mola Mwenye kusamehe sana!" Lakini walipuuza (wasitii amri ya Allah), basi Tukawapelekea mafuriko ya Sail al-'Arim (mafuriko yaliyoachiliwa kutoka bwawani), na Tukaligeuza bustani zao mbili kuwa bustani zenye matunda machungu mabaya, na mikoko (tamarisk), na miti michache ya mkunazi (lote).

{Indeed there was for Saba' (Sheba) a sign in their dwelling-place -two gardens on the right hand and on the left,; (and it was said to them:) "Eat of the provision of your Lord, and be grateful to Him.' A fair land and an Oft-Forgiving Lord! But they turned away (from the obedience of Allah), so We sent against them Sail AI-'Arim (flood released from the dam), and We converted their two gardens into gardens producing bitter bad fruit, and tamarisks, and some few lotetrees.

Hivyo ndivyo tulivyowalipa kwa kuwa walikuwa wasio shukuru, makafiri. Na hatumlipi (kwa namna hii) isipokuwa yule asiyeshukuru (kafiri). Na tukaweka baina yao na miji ambayo tuliibariki, miji iliyo karibu inayoonekana, na tukapanga humo safari (kwa urahisi): "Safiri humo usiku na mchana kwa amani." Lakini wakasema: "Mola Mlezi wetu! Fanya safari zetu ziwe ndefu zaidi," nao wakajidhulumu nafsi zao; basi tukawafanya kuwa hadithi, na tukawatawanya kabisa.

Like this We requited them because they were ungrateful disbelievers. And never do We requite in such a way except those who are ungrateful (disbelievers). And We placed, between them and the towns which We had blessed, towns easy to be seen, and We made the stages (of journey) between them easy (saying): "Travel in them safely both by night and day." But they said: "Our Lord! Make the stages between our journey longer," and they wronged themselves; so We made them as tales (in the land), and We dispersed them all totally.

Hakika, katika haya zimo ishara kwa kila mvumilivu mwenye shukrani.

Verily, in this are indeed signs for every steadfast, grateful (person)}.

(Sabaa, 15-19)

(Saba', 15-19)

Wanasimulizi wa nasaba -miongoni mwao alikuwa Muhammad Ibn Ishaq- walisema: jina la Saba' ni `Abd Shams Ibn Yashjub Ibn Ya`rub Ibn Qahtan. Alikuwa wa kwanza kuwateka watu, na alikuwa mkarimu sana kwa watu. As-Suhaili alisema: inasemekana kwamba alikuwa mtu wa kwanza kuvikwa taji, na baadhi ya wanazuoni walisema alikuwa Mwislamu na kwamba alitunga mashairi ambamo alitoa habari njema kuhusu kuja kwa Nabii Muhammad ﷺ. Kauli hii ya mwisho imenasibishwa kwa Ibn Didya katika kitabu chake kiitwacho: [At-Tanwir fi Maulid Al-Bashir An- Nadhir]. Imam Ahmad alisema: Nimesimuliwa na Abu `Abdur Rahman, kutoka kwa `Abdullah Ibn Luhai`ah, kutoka kwa `Abdullah Ibn Da`lah, akisema: Nilimsikia `Abdullah Ibn Al-`Abbas akisema: Mtu mmoja alimwuliza Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ kuhusu Saba', je, alikuwa mwanamume, mwanamke, au jina la ardhi? Yeye ﷺ akasema: Hakika alikuwa mwanamume ambaye alizaliwa kwake wana kumi. Sita kati yao waliishi Yemen na wanne Sham (Syria). Wale walioishi Yemen ni: Madhhaj, Kindah, Al-Azd, Al-Ash`ariyun, Anmar na Himyar. Na wale walioishi Syria ni: Laghm, Judham, `Amilah na Ghassan." Muulizaji alikuwa Farwah Ibn Musaik Al-Ghatifi.

Scholars of genealogy -among them was Muhammad Ibn Ishaq -said: the name of Saba' is `Abd Shams Ibn Yashjub Ibn Ya`rub Ibn Qahtan. He was the first to take captives and he was very generous to the people. As-Suhaili said: it is said that he was the first person to be crowned, and some scholars said he was Muslim and that he composed poetry in which he brought good news to the advent of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). This last saying was attributed to Ibn Didya in his book titled: [At-Tanwir fi Maulid Al-Bashir An- Nadhir] Imam Ahmed said: I have been told by Abu `Abdur Rahman, after `Abdullah Ibn Luhai` ah, after `Abdullah Ibn Da`lah saying: I heard `Abdullah Ibn Al- `Abbas as saying: A man asked Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) about Saba', whether it was a man, a woman, or a name of a land? He (Peace be upon him) said: Verily, he was a man to whom ten sons were born. Six thereof inhabited the Yemen andfour Sham (Syria). Those in Yemen were: Madhhaj, Kindah, Al-Azd, Al-Ash `ariyun, Anmar and Himyar. And those who inhabited Syria were: Laghm, Judham, `Amilah and Ghassan." The Questioner was Farwah Ibn Musaik Al-Ghatifi.

Hii ina maana kwamba neno Saba' linajumuisha makabila haya yote; miongoni mwao pia walikuwa At-Tababi`ah (umoja: Tubba`) huko Yemen. Wafalme wao walikuwa wakivaa taji kama walivyofanya wafalme wa Persia. Waarabu walikuwa wakimwita yeyote aliyetawala Yemen na Hadramaut "Tubba`", kama walivyowaita wafalme wa Sham (Syria) na Peninsula ya Kiarabu "Kaisari", na mtawala wa Persia "Khusrau", mtawala wa Misri "Fir`aun", mtawala wa Abyssinia "Negus", na mtawala wa India "Ptolemes". Bilqis alikuwa miongoni mwa wafalme wa Himyar waliotawala Yemen. Waliishi kwa furaha na raha, wakiwa na wingi wa riziki: matunda, mimea, n.k. Walikuwa watu wema waliofuata Njia iliyonyooka, lakini walipoipotosha Neema ya Allah na kuikataa, walijiletea wenyewe na watu wao uharibifu na maangamizi bila shaka.

This means that the term Saba' covers all these tribes; among them also were At- Tababi `ah (Sing. Tubba` ) in the Yemen. Their kings used to put crowns on as were done by kings of Persia. The Arabs used to call whomsoever rules over the Yemen and Hadramaut "Tubba`", as they used to call kings of Sham (Syria) and the Arab Peninsula "Caesar", and the ruler of Persia "Khusrau", the ruler of Egypt Fir` aun (Pharaoh), the ruler of Abyssinia "Negus", and the ruler of India "Ptolemes", and Bilqis was from among the Himyar kings who ruled the Yemen. They lived in happiness and easiness, with abundance of sustenance: fruits, plants, etc. and they were righteous people who followed the Straight Path, but when they altered the Grace of Allah and denied it, they inevitably incurred to themselves and their peoples destruction and devastation.

Muhammad Ibn Ishaq, akinukuu kutoka kwa Wahb Ibn Munabah, alisema: Allah Mtukufu aliwatumia Manabii kumi na watatu. Na As-Sadi alidai kwamba Allah Mtukufu aliwatumia Manabii kumi na mbili elfu. Allah ndiye anayejua zaidi! Jambo ni kwamba, walipobadilisha uongofu kwa upotovu na kusujudu mbele ya jua badala ya Allah Mtukufu, jambo hilo lilitokea wakati wa zama za Bilqis na mababu zake, na likaendelea hadi Allah alipowatumia mafuriko yaliyoachiliwa kutoka bwawani. Allah Mtukufu alifafanua: {Lakini wakageuka (wasitii amri ya Allah), basi Tukawatumia mafuriko makubwa ya bwawa, na Tukazigeuza bustani zao mbili kuwa bustani zenye matunda machungu mabaya, na mikoko, na miti michache ya mkunazi. Hivyo ndivyo Tulivyowalipa kwa sababu walikuwa wakikufuru. Na hatumlipi namna hii ila mwenye kukufuru}.

Muhammad Ibn Ishaq narrating from Wahb Ibn Munabah said: Allah the Almighty sent them thirteen Prophets. And, As-Sadi claimed that Allah the Almighty sent them twelve thousand Prophets. Allah knows best! The point is, when they replaced guidance with misguidance and prostrated themselves before the sun instead of Allah the Almighty, the matter which took place during the era of Bilqis and her ancestors and that which continued till Allah sent over them a flood released from the dam. Allah the Almighty explained: {But they turned away (from the obedience of Allah), so We sent against them Sail Al-`Arim (flood released from the dam), and We converted their two gardens into gardens producing bitter bad fruit, and tamarisks, and some few lote trees. Like this We requited them because they were ungrateful disbelievers. And never do We requite in such a way except those who are ungrateful (disbelievers)}.

Wasomi wengi wametaja kwamba Bwawa la Ma'rab lilijengwa ili kuzuia maji nyuma ya milima miwili mikubwa, na maji yalipoinuka, watu walianza kupanda bustani na miti yenye matunda pamoja na aina nyingi za mboga. Inasemekana kwamba mwanzilishi wa bwawa hilo alikuwa Saba' Ibn Ya`rub, ambaye aligeuza mkondo wa mabonde sabini na kulazimisha maji kumwagika humo. Zaidi ya hayo, alilazimisha maji yatoke kupitia chemchemi au mashimo thelathini, lakini alifariki kabla ya kulikamilisha.

Many scholars mentioned that the Dam of Ma'rab was built to keep water behind two great mountains, and when the water raised, the people began to implant orchards and fruitful trees and many kinds of vegetables. It is said that the originator of the darn was Saba' Ibn Ya` rub who changed the course of seventy valleys forcing them to pour out water therein. In addition, he forced the water to get out from thirty springs or holes, but he died before completing it.

Kabila la Himyar lilikamilisha hilo, na lilikuwa katika eneo la upana wa farsakhi moja ya mraba.

So, the tribe of Himyar perfected it and it was of the space of one square league.

Kisha, waliishi kwa furaha na wingi wa neema. Qatada na wengine walisema: mwanamke miongoni mwao angepita akiwa amebeba kikapu kichwani, nacho kingejazwa matunda mabichi yaliyoiva, na walisema kwamba hewa waliyopumua ilikuwa safi na tupu kiasi kwamba hakuna nzi wala vijidudu vyenye madhara vilivyopatikana katika nchi yao. Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Hakika kwa Saba' (Sheba) kulikuwa na

Thereupon, they were living in happiness and abundance. Qatada and others said: the woman (from among them) would go putting a basket on her head, and it would be filled with fresh, ripe fruits, and they said that the air they breathed was so clean and pure that neither flies, nor harmful germs were found in their land. Allah the Almighty says: {Indeed there was for Saba' (Sheba)

Ishara katika makazi yao: bustani mbili upande wa kulia na upande wa kushoto. (Iliambiwa kwao:) Kuleni katika riziki ya Mola wenu Mlezi, na mshukuruni Yeye. Nchi nzuri na Mola Mlezi Mwingi wa kusamehe!} (Saba', 15) Na {Na (kumbukeni) Mola wenu Mlezi alipotangaza: Mkishukuru (kwa kuukubali Imani na kumwabudu Mwenyezi Mungu peke yake), Nitakuzidishieni (Neema Zangu); lakini mkikufuru (yaani mkawa makafiri), basi hakika adhabu Yangu ni kali sana}. (Ibrahim, 7) Lakini walipowapamba wengine badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu na wakaifanyia kiburi Neema Yake, safari zilizo kati yao zilikuwa nyepesi, ambapo walikuwa wakisafiri kwa usalama usiku na mchana, wakamwomba Yeye kuzifanya safari zilizo kati ya safari zao ziwe ndefu na ngumu zaidi. Hivyo basi, waliomba kuigeuza neema kuwa kitu kibaya, kama Wana wa Israili walioomba kwa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu kugeuza Mana na kware kuwa mimea, matango, Fumu (ngano au kitunguu saumu), dengu na vitunguu. Papo hapo walinyimwa baraka hiyo kubwa na neema kamilifu; nchi yao iliharibiwa na wao wenyewe wakatawanywa kote duniani. Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu anasema: {Lakini waligeuka (wasimtii Mwenyezi Mungu), basi Tukawapelekea Sayli Al-‘Arim (mafuriko yaliyotoka kwenye bwawa)}.

a sign in their dwelling -place- two gardens on the right hand and on the left; (and it was said to them:) Eat of the provision of your Lord, and be grateful to Him. A fair land and an Oft-Forgiving Lord!} (Saba', 15) and, {And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allah), I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily My punishment is indeed severe}. (Ibrahim, 7) But, when they adorned other than Allah the Almighty and arrogantly dealt with His Grace -the stages (of journey) between them were easy in which they used to travel safely both by night and day -and asked Him to make the stages between their journeys longer and severer. Thus, they asked to turn the good into what is bad like the Children of Israel who asked Allah the Almighty to turn Manna and quails into herbs, cucumbers, Fum (wheat or garlic), lentils and onions. Thereupon, they were deprived that great blessing and comprehensive grace; their land was destroyed and they themselves were scattered allover the globe. Allah the Almighty says: {But they turned away (from the obedience of Allah), so We sent against them Sail Al-`Arim (flood released from the dam)}.

Wanachuoni wengi walisema: Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu alituma panya au panya wakubwa kwenye misingi ya bwawa, na walipogundua hilo, walileta paka ili kuwala, lakini yote yalikuwa bure. Misingi ilidhoofika sana hatimaye bwawa likaporomoka, na maji yakazamisha kila kitu. Miti yao yenye matunda mema iligeuka kuwa -kama alivyoeleza Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu -yenye matunda machungu: {Nasi tukazigeuza bustani zao mbili kuwa bustani zenye matunda machungu mabaya, na mkoka, na mkunazi}. Na {na mkunazi chache}, kwa sababu hutoa Nabk ambayo ni chache sana miongoni mwa miiba isiyohesabika waliyonayo. Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu anasema: {Hivyo ndivyo tulivyowalipa kwa sababu walikuwa wasiomshukuru, makafiri. Na hatumlipi namna hiyo isipokuwa asiyeshukuru (makafiri)} yaani, Sisi hatuadhibu kwa adhabu hii kali isipokuwa wale waliotukanusha, waliowakadhibisha Mitume Wetu, waliokhalifu Amri Zetu, na kuvunja Mipaka Yetu.

Many scholars said: Allah the Almighty sent mice or rats on the bases of the darn, and when they discovered this they brought cats to eat them up, but all was in vain. The bases became very weak and finally the darn collapsed and the water drowned everything. Their good fruitful trees turned into -as explained by Allah the Almighty -bad ones: {And We converted their two gardens into gardens producing bitter bad fruit, and tamarisks}. And {and some few lote-trees} for they produce Nabk which is very few among the countless thorns they have. Allah the Almighty says: {Like this We requited them because they were ungrateful disbelievers. And never do We requite in such a way except those who are ungrateful (disbelievers)} i.e. We only punish -with this severe punishment those who disbelieved in Us, belied Our Messengers, disobeyed Our Orders, and violated Our Boundaries.

Allah Mwenye Nguvu Zote anasema: {Basi Tukawafanya kuwa visa (katika nchi), na Tukawatawanya kabisa kabisa} yaani baada ya kuharibiwa kwa mabustani yao, mali zao na ardhi yao, walihitaji kusafiri na kuhama. Hivyo, walitawanyika katika sehemu mbalimbali za nchi, kwani baadhi yao walihamia Hejaz, na Khuza'ah walihamia Makka. Baadhi yao pia walihamia Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, nao ndio waliokuwa wa kwanza kukaa humo. Kisha, walifuatiwa na makabila matatu ya Mayahudi: Banu Qainuqa', Banu Quraizah, na Banu An-Nadir. Mayahudi walifanya miungano na Aus na Khazraj na kuishi humo (hadi wakati wa Mtume Muhammad ﷺ). Baadhi yao walihamia Sham (Syria) na baadaye wakageuka kuwa Wakristo: Ghassan, Amilah, Bahra', Lukham, Judham, Tanukh, Taghlub, na wengine.

Allah the Almighty says: {So We made them as tales (in the land), and We dispersed them all totally} i.e. after the destruction of their gardens, properties and land, they needed to travel and move away. Thus, they scattered in different parts of the land as some of them moved to the Hejaz, and Khuza' ah moved to Mecca. Some of them also moved to Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, they were the first to inhabit it. Then, they were followed by three tribes from the Jews: the Banu Qainuqa', Banu Quraizah, and Banu An-Nadir. The Jews made coalitions with the Aus and Khazraj and lived there (till the time of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). Some of them, moved to Sham (Syria) and afterwards they converted to Christianity: Ghassan, Amilah, Bahra', Lukham, Judham, Tanukh, Taghlub, and others.

Muhammad bin Ishaq, katika kitabu chake *Kitab As-Sirah* (Wasifu wa Mtume), alisema kwamba wa kwanza kuondoka Yemen kabla ya Sail Al-'Arim (mafuriko yaliyotoka kwenye bwawa) alikuwa 'Amr bin 'Amir Al-Lukhami. Lukham alikuwa mwana wa 'Adyi bin Al-Harith bin Murrah bin Azd bin Zaid bin Muha' bin 'Amr bin 'Uraib bin Yashjub bin Zaid bin Kahlan bin Saba'. Pia imesemwa na Ibn Hisham: Lukham bin 'Adyi bin 'Amr bin Gharib bin Saba'. Ibn Ishaq alisema: sababu ya yeye kuhama Yemen, kama nilivyoambiwa na Abu Zaid Al-Ansari, ni kwamba aliona panya akichimba chini ya bwawa la Ma'rab, bwawa lililotumika kuzuia maji nyuma yake. Hivyo alitambua kwamba bwawa halingedumu kwa muda mrefu, kwa hiyo alikusudia kuhama Yemen. Hata hivyo, aliwadanganya watu wake kwa kuwaamuru mwanawe mdogo kumpiga kofi usoni mbele ya watu. Mwana alitekeleza alichoamriwa, na 'Amr akasema: Sitaishi kamwe mahali ambapo mwanangu mdogo ananipiga kofi usoni. Kisha akatoa mali yake iuzwe. Wakuu wa Yemen wakasema:

Muhammad Ibn Ishaq, in his The Prophet's Biography [Kitab As-Sirah], said that the first to quit the Yemen before the Sail Al-'Arim (the flood released from the dam) was' Amr Ibn 'Amir Al-Lukhami. Lukham was the son of 'Adyi Ibn Al-Harith Ibn Murrah Ibn Azd Ibn Zaid Ibn Muha' Ibn 'Amr Ibn 'Uraib Ibn Yashjub Ibn Zaid Ibn Kahlan Ibn Saba'. It is said also by Ibn Hisham: Lukham Ibn 'Adyi Ibn 'Amr Ibn Gharib Ibn Saba'. Ibn Ishaq said: the reason behind his moving from Yemen as I was told by Abu Zaid Al-Ansari that he saw a mouse or rat digging beneath the dam of Ma'rab which was used to keep the water behind, so he realized that the dam would not stand so long, so he intended to move from the Yemen. However, he tricked his people by ordering his youngest son to slap him on the face before the people. The son did what he was ordered to and 'Amr said: I would never live in a place where my youngest son slapped me on the face. And he offered his property to be sold. The noblemen of the Yemen said:

tumia fursa ya hasira ya 'Amr kununua mali yake yote. Hivyo, akaondoka pamoja na watoto wake na wajukuu zao. Kabila la Azd likasema: hatutamwacha 'Amr Ibn 'Amir kamwe, kwa hiyo wakauza mali zao na kumfuata katika kukimbia kwake (bila kujua nia yake halisi). Wakafika katika ardhi ya 'Ak, ambao walipigana nao, na vita vyao vikawa na mafanikio na kushindwa kwa zamu.

seize the opportunity of 'Amr's rage and buy all his property. Hence, he moved along with his children and their offspring. The Azd said: we never leave 'Amr Ibn 'Amir, so they sold their properties and accompanied him in his fleeing (without knowing his real intentions). They arrived at the land of `Ak who fought against them and their war had its ups and downs.

Hatimaye, waliondoka kutoka nchi ya 'Ak na kutawanyika katika nchi mbalimbali. Ibn Jafnah Ibn 'Amr Ibn 'Amir alikwenda Sham (Syria), Al-Aus na Al-Khazraj walikwenda Yathrib (Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah), Khuza'ah walikwenda Marran, Azd As-Sarah walikwenda As-Sarah, na Azd 'Amman walikwenda 'Amman. Kisha Allah Mtukufu akatuma mafuriko dhidi ya bwawa, nalo likaanguka kabisa. Qur'ani Tukufu inashuhudia tukio hili.

Finally, they departed from the land of 'Ak and dispersed in the lands. Ibn Jafnah Ibn 'Amr Ibn 'Amir went to Sham (Syria), Al-Aus and Al-Khazraj went to Yathrib (Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah), Khuza'ah went to Marran, Azd As-Sarah went to As-Sarah, and Azd 'Amman went to 'Amman, then Allah the Almighty sent the flood against the dam and it was totally collapsed. The Glorious Qur'an bears witness to this incident.

Kama alivyosimulia As-Sadi, na Muhammad Ibn Ishaq alisema kwamba 'Amr Ibn `Amir alikuwa kuhani. Wengine walisema kwamba mke wake alikuwa Tarifah Bint Al-Khair Al-Himyariyah, na kwamba alikuwa kuhani mwanamke. Alitabiri kuangamia kwa nchi yao kana kwamba waliona dalili katika ile panya au kipanya, hivyo wakafanya walichofanya, na Allah ndiye Mjuzi zaidi! Hadithi yake yote ilitajwa katika Tafsiri, kwa mapokezi ya `Ikriamh baada ya Ibn Abu Hatim.

As-Sadi narrated the like and Muhammad Ibn Ishaq said that 'Amr Ibn `Amir was a priest. Others said that his wife was Tarifah Bint Al-Khair Al-Himyariyah and that she was a priestess. She foretold the destruction of their country as if they saw an indication in that rat or mouse, so they did what they did, and Allah knows best! His whole story was mentioned in the Exegesis on the authority of `Ikriamh after Ibn Abu Hatim.

Hata hivyo, sio watu wote wa Saba' walihama kutoka Yemen baada ya bwawa kuvunjika, bali wengi wao walibaki huko. Ni watu wa Bwawa (Ma'rab) pekee ndio walioondoka na kutawanyika katika nchi. Hili limeelezwa katika Hadithi iliyotajwa awali, iliyosimuliwa na `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas, kwamba wengi wa watu wa Yemen hawakuhama Yemen. Makabila manne tu ndiyo yaliondoka, na sita yalibaki. Waliendelea kuishi huko, na utawala ulihifadhiwa na wao pamoja na Tababi`ah hadi waliponyang'anywa uhuru wao wa kujitawala - kwa muda wa takriban miaka sabini - na jeshi lililotumwa na Negus chini ya amri ya Abraha na Aryat. Kisha, uhuru huo ulirejeshwa na Saif Ibn Dhi Yazan Al-Himyari muda mfupi kabla ya kuzaliwa kwa Nabii Muhammad ﷺ. Kisha, Mtume wa Allah ﷺ

However, not all the people of Saba' moved from the Yemen after the collapsing of the dam, but the majority thereof stayed there. Only the people of the Dam (Ma'rab) went away and dispersed in the land. This is expressed in the Hadith mentioned earlier that was narrated by `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas, that the majority of the Yemenites did not movem from the Yemen. Only four tribes quitted and six tribes stayed. They continued to live there and the ruling was kept by them and the Tababi`ah till they were deprived of their own self-ruling - for about seventy years -by the army sent by the Negus under the command of Abraha and Aryat. Then, it was regained by Saif Ibn Dhi Yazan AI-Himyari shortly before Prophet Muhammad's birth. Then, Allah's Prophet (Peace be upon him)

Alimtuma Yemen `Ali bin Abu Talib na Khalid bin Al-Walid, kisha Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari na Mu`adh bin Jabal ili kuwaalika watu waingie katika Uislamu. Kisha, Al-Aswad Al-`Ansi aliiteka Yemen na kuwafukuza manaibu wa Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ. Wakati wa zama za Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, Al-Aswad Al-`Ansi aliuawa, na Waislamu wakapata ushindi nchini Yemen.

sent to the Yemen `Ali Ibn Abu Talib and Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, then Abu Musa Al- Ash`ari and Mu`adh Ibn Jabal to invite the people to embrace Islam. Then, Al- Aswad Al-`Ansi seized the Yemen and drove out the deputies of Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him). During the era of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, Al-Aswad Al-`Ansi was killed and the Muslims had the upper hand in the Yemen.
