in a year a monk coming out of it used to give lecture in the
midst of Christians . Imam was present in that assembly . When
he saw Imam he was struck with fear and after coming to Imam he
said,
Monk

: I am a stranger.
Monk
:Do you belong to us or you are an opponent?
Imam
: I do not belong to you .
Monk
: Do you belong to previous nations ?

Imam
: Certainly.
Monk
: I say that the root of Tuba tree is in the house of Hazrat
Isa where as you say that it is in the house of Hazrat Mohammad
and its branches are in every house.
