The Negus, seemingly impressed, consequently allowed the migrants to stay, sending back the emissaries of Quraysh.[12] It is also thought that the Negus may have converted to Islam.[15] The Christian subjects of the Negus were displeased with his actions, accusing him of leaving Christianity, although the Negus managed to appease them in a way which, according to Ibn Ishaq, could be described as favourable towards Islam.[12] Having established friendly relations with the Negus, it became possible for Muhammad to send another group of migrants, such that the number of Muslims living in Abyssinia totalled around one hundred.[10]
