Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Isma'il ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to us, saying: Ibrahim ibn Sa'd narrated to me from Salih from Ibn Shihab from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utbah ibn Mas'ud that 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas informed him: Sahih al-Bukhari 64.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, and indeed this happened: they were torn apart, every one of them. Their kingdom was shattered, their power was broken, and the Muslims occupied their lands, by the command of Allah, the permission of Allah, and the judgment of Allah. The point of this is that he sent his letter with a man and ordered him to deliver it to the ruler of Bahrain. The ruler of Bahrain, in relation to the King of Persia, is like a governor in relation to a king, or like a provincial governor in relation to a president, or something similar. Yes.
Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave a letter to a person and ordered him to go and deliver it to the Governor of Bahrain. (He did so) and the Governor of Bahrain sent it to Chousroes, who read that letter and then tore it to pieces. (The sub-narrator (Ibn Shihab) thinks that Ibn Al-Musaiyab said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) invoked Allah against them (saying), "May Allah tear them into pieces, and disperse them all totally.)"
