Hence, Abrahah was also overwhelmed and awestruck by the personality of \u2018Abdul Muttalib. He thus welcomed \u2018Abdul Muttalib with absolute respect and honour. Abrahah found it inappropriate to seat anyone on or in line with his throne. So instead, he descended from the throne out of respect for \u2018Abdul Muttalib and sat with him on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"itemFullText\">\n<p>During the course of their conversation, \u2018Abdul Muttalib requested Abrahah to release all his camels which Abrahah\u2019s army had taken. Surprised by this request, Abrahah exclaimed, \u201cIt is quite strange to hear you requesting for your camels, but I see that you have not mentioned a word about the Ka\u2018bah, which has great importance in your Deen and the Deen of your forefathers.\u201d \u2018Abdul Muttalib calmly responded:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-family: 'traditional arabic'; font-size: 16pt; text-align: center;\">\u0623\u0646\u0627 \u0631\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0628\u0644 \u0648\u0644\u0644\u0628\u064a\u062a \u0631\u0628 \u0633\u064a\u0645\u0646\u0639\u0647<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cI am the owner of the camels.

Taking delivery of his camels, \u2018Abdul Muttalib returned to his people and asked them to immediately evacuate Makkah Mukarramah.
