They made themselves and their children a shield for him, and stood with their swords fighting on his behalf. {cite:ibn-hisham-saqqa 4/203} {cite:ibn-hisham-saqqa 4/204} The poem ends by saying that this is an ancient glory they inherited from their leaders, and that they have a favour over people. {cite:ibn-hisham-saqqa 4/204}\n\nOne of its lines says: \"When the rightly guided Messenger came to us with truth and light after darkness, we said: you have spoken truly, messenger of the Sovereign; come to us, and stay with us.\" {cite:ibn-hisham-saqqa 4/203}"
