When Sateeh heard his nephew reciting these couplets, he turned towards him and said, “‘Abdul Maseeh has come riding to Sateeh on a fast camel when he is about to pass away. Have you been sent by the Sassanid emperor because of the tremor that struck his palace, because the fire of the fire-temple was extinguished, and because the priest saw a dream wherein powerful camels are dragging Arabian horses over the Tigris River, which then spread out across all cities? O ‘Abdul-Maseeh! Listen attentively to what I wish to tell you! When the word of Allah is recited in abundance, when the personality carrying an ‘Asaa (staff) appears, when the valley of Samaawah gushes forth, when the lake of Saawah dries up and the Persian fire is extinguished, then Syria will no longer remain Syria for Sateeh (i.e. the condition at that time will be completely changed). A few men and women from the Sassanid dynasty, equal to the number of pillars, will rule for a few years. The events that were ordained to happen, regard them as already coming to pass.” Saying this, Sateeh breathed his last.
