Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Habib bin Abi Thabit narrates that Hazrat Hassan bin Thabit recited these verses to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): I bear witness by the command of Allah that Muhammad is the Messenger of that Allah who is above the heavens. The deeds of Yahya and his father (Hazrat Zakariya) are acceptable in this religion. Similarly, the deeds of Hazrat Hud are also acceptable when he used to stand among the people and invite them to the religion.
