\"\"<\/a>Nu\u2019maan bin Munzir promptly despatched a well travelled scholar by the name of \u2018Abdul Maseeh Ghassaani to Chosroes. When \u2018Abdul Maseeh Ghassaani appeared in the court, Chosroes asked, \u201cDo you have any knowledge of whatever I wish to ask of you?\u201d \u2018Abdul Maseeh replied, \u201cYou may ask me your question. If I have any knowledge, I will assist you. Otherwise, I will direct you to someone more knowledgeable than I am.\u201d Chosroes then informed him of all the events that had recently occurred. \u2018Abdul Maseeh advised him, \u201cPerhaps my mother\u2019s brother, Sateeh, who presently resides in Shaam, will have some knowledge on this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearing this, Chosroes commanded \u2018Abdul Maseeh to personally go to his uncle so that he may find out and return with the answers of the questions he had. When \u2018Abdul Maseeh reached his uncle, Sateeh, his uncle was already in the final stages of his life, about to leave this world. However, he was still conscious and in his senses. \u2018Abdul Maseeh greeted him and recited a few couplets to him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When Sateeh heard his nephew reciting these couplets, he turned towards him and said, \u201c\u2018Abdul Maseeh has come riding to Sateeh on a fast camel when he is about to pass away. Have you been sent by the Sassanid emperor because of the tremor that struck his palace, because the fire of the fire-temple was extinguished, and because the priest saw a dream wherein powerful camels are dragging Arabian horses over the Tigris River, which then spread out across all cities? O \u2018Abdul-Maseeh! Listen attentively to what I wish to tell you! When the word of Allah is recited in abundance, when the personality carrying an \u2018Asaa (staff) appears, when the valley of Samaawah gushes forth, when the lake of Saawah dries up and the Persian fire is extinguished, then Syria will no longer remain Syria for Sateeh (i.e. the condition at that time will be completely changed). A few men and women from the Sassanid dynasty, equal to the number of pillars, will rule for a few years. The events that were ordained to happen, regard them as already coming to pass.\u201d Saying this, Sateeh breathed his last.<\/p>\n
