This is a very interesting message. Come with me; I will grant you an audience with the other chiefs. What you said to me, say to them.
The chieftain had just listened to the Prophet ﷺ present his message and ask to be taken in under Kindah's protection.
O my fellow tribesmen, if we were to take this matter from this young man of the Quraysh and adopt him, we will have a message through which we can conquer the other Arabs.
If we were to follow you, and then Allah gives us victory over your enemies, will you give us control of this affair after you?
The kingdom belongs to Allah, and Allah gives it to whomever He pleases.
So you are asking us to follow you, stick our necks out behind you in order to have them cut off in war, and then after we have spilled our blood to conquer the Arabs, you will take the kingdom? Go! We have no need of this!
