Ribei answered, "No, I'm<br />
not, but the Muslims are<br />
like one body. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
all parts <strong>of</strong> a whole. <strong>The</strong><br />
most humble among them<br />
can promise protection on<br />
behalf <strong>of</strong> the most noble."<br />
After this session <strong>of</strong><br />
dialogue, Ribei returned to<br />
his camp.<br />
After his departure,<br />
Rustam consulted and<br />
sought the advice <strong>of</strong> his<br />
companions. But his<br />
companions tried to belittle<br />
Ribei' s remarks. Rustam,<br />
however, was a wise<br />
commander and said, "Woe<br />
betide you! I have observed<br />
his judgment, speech and<br />
his conduct. Arabs wear<br />
simple garments, but<br />
they place a great deal <strong>of</strong><br />
attention on lineage and<br />
ancestral glory."<br />

<strong>The</strong> next day, Rustam sent a message to the Muslims<br />
saying, "Send Ribei to us again. I want to talk to him<br />
once more." But Sa' d *' sent Hudhayfah ~ instead, who<br />
then repeated exactly what Ribei ~ had told Rustam the<br />
previous day.
