- " إذا افتتحتم مصر فاستوصوا بالقبط خيرا، فإن لهم ذمة ورحما ".
Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you conquer Egypt, treat the Copts with kindness, for they have a covenant and kinship with us."
