صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4609
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Shihab with the same chain of transmitters but with the addition: When Allah inflicted defeat on the armies of Persia, Caesar moved from Hims to Aelia (Bait al-Maqdis) for thanking Allah as He granted him victory. In this hadith these words occur: From Muhammad, servant of Allah and His Messenger, and said: The sin of your followers, and also said the words: to the call of Islam .
