The people of the Book (Christians and Jews) gave good news of the appearance of a new prophet whose time was about to come.
The Arab tribes reported the news. Those who sneered at the idols longed for the coming of the new prophet.
One day, a man came from Makkah and said to Jundub:
There's a man in Makkah who says that there is no god but Allah and claims that he is a prophet.
Jundub asked:
Which tribe does he belong to?
The man answered:
He belongs to the Quraish.
Jundub asked:
Which tribe of the Quraish does he belong to?
The man answered:
He belongs to Bani Hashim.
What have the Quraish done?
They've accused him of lying. They say that he's a magician and an insane.
The man went away, but Jundub thought again and again.
