وَعَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ : قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ : أُخْرِجَ جَيْشٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنَا أَمِيرُهُمْ ، حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةَ فَقَالَ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ عُظَمَائِهِمْ : أَخْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ رَجُلًا أُكَلِّمُهُ وَيُكَلِّمُنِي ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ غَيْرِي ، فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَ تُرْجُمَانِهِ حَتَّى وُضِعَ لَنَا مِنْبَرَانِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا أَنْتُمْ ؟ فَقُلْنَا : نَحْنُ الْعَرَبُ ، وَنَحْنُ أَهْلُ الشَّوْكِ وَالْقَرَظِ ، وَنَحْنُ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ اللَّهِ ، كُنَّا أَضْيَقَ النَّاسِ أَرْضًا وَأَشَدَّهُ عَيْشًا ، نَأْكُلُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ ، وَيُغِيرُ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِشَرِّ عَيْشٍ عَاشَ بِهِ النَّاسُ ، حَتَّى خَرَجَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ لَيْسَ بِأَعْظَمِنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ شَرَفًا وَلَا بِأَكْثَرِنَا مَالًا ، قَالَ : أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ، يَأْمُرُنَا بِأَشْيَاءَ لَا نَعْرِفُ ، وَيَنْهَانَا عَمَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ آبَاؤُنَا ، فَشَنِفْنَا لَهُ وَكَذَّبْنَاهُ وَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ مَقَالَتَهُ ، حَتَّى خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ غَيْرِنَا فَقَالُوا : نَحْنُ نُصَدِّقُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَّبِعُكَ وَنُقَاتِلُ مَنْ قَاتَلَكَ ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَخَرَجْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَاتَلْنَاهُ ، فَظَهَرَ عَلَيْنَا وَغَلَبَنَا ، وَتَنَاوَلَ مَنْ يَلِيهِ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَقَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ مَنْ وَرَائِيَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى جَاءَكُمْ حَتَّى يُشَارِكَكُمْ فِيمَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ ، فَضَحِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ صَدَقَ ، قَدْ جَاءَتْنَا رُسُلُنَا بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُكُمْ ، فَكُنَّا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى ظَهَرَتْ فِينَا فِتْيَانٌ فَجَعَلُوا يَعْمَلُونَ فِينَا بِأَهْوَائِهِمْ وَيَتْرُكُونَ أَمْرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ، فَإِنْ أَنْتُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ بِأَمْرِ نَبِيِّكُمْ لَمْ يُقَاتِلْكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا غَلَبْتُمُوهُ ، وَلَمْ يُشَارِرْكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ظَهَرْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ ، فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُمْ مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلْنَا ، وَتَرَكْتُمْ أَمْرَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ، وَعَمِلْتُمْ مِثْلَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا بِأَهْوَائِهِمْ ، فَهُمْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا أَكْثَرَ عَدَدًا مِنَّا وَلَا أَشَدَّ قُوَّةً مِنَّا ، فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ : فَمَا كَلَّمْتُ رَجُلًا أَنْكَرَ مِنْهُ .

Alqamah bin Waqqas narrates: Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said that an army of the Muslims was sent out and I was their commander. We camped at Alexandria, and one of the great men of the enemy said: "Send a man to me so that I may talk with him and he may talk with me." (Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) says:) I said: "No one but me will go to him." So I went out with his interpreter, until two pulpits were placed for us. He asked: "Who are you people?" I replied: "We are Arabs; we are people who live among thorns and leaves; we are people who live by the House of Allah. We were the most straitened people on the face of the earth, and our life was the hardest. We used to eat carrion and blood and raid one another; we lived in the worst way in which people can live. Until a man appeared among us who was neither the most prominent in social standing nor the wealthiest. He said: 'I am the Messenger of Allah to you.' He commanded us to do things we did not know, and he forbade us from things we used to practise and our forefathers used to practise. So we opposed him, denied him and rejected what he said. Until a people other than us came to him, and the people of that tribe said: 'We affirm you, believe in you and follow you; whoever fights you, we will fight him.' So that man went to those people, and then we went after him. We fought him, and he prevailed over us. Then he turned to the other Arabs and fought them until he prevailed over them as well. If the Arabs behind me came to know what kind of prosperous life you people are living, they would all come to you and become your partners in the prosperous life you are leading." The enemy's commander laughed and said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth. Messengers came to us too with teachings like those your Messenger has brought, and our elders kept acting upon those teachings, until some people came among us who began to follow their own desires and abandoned the command of the prophets. As long as you keep acting upon the command of your Prophet, whoever comes against you, you will prevail over him, and whoever confronts you, you will overcome him. But when you do the kind of things we did, abandon the command of your Prophet and act like those people acted who followed their own desires, then you will be left to yourselves, because you are not greater than us in number, nor stronger than us in might." Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I have not spoken with any man shrewder than him.
