Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1540 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ قَالَ : نَا رَوَّادُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ عَنْ خُلَيْدِ بْنِ دَعْلَجٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ . عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ : كَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- إِلَى كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ ، وَإِلَى كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ ، يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَذَلِكَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ لأُنْذِرَكُمْ بِهِ وَمَنْ بَلَغَ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ خُلَيْدٍ إِلَّا رَوَّادٌ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote to Chosroes, Caesar and every tyrant (oppressive ruler), inviting them to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; and this was when this verse was revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him): 'And this Qur'an has been revealed to me so that I may warn you by it, and whomever it reaches (of the punishment of Allah).'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Rawwad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith from Khulayd (may Allah have mercy on him)."
