In OTL Sassanids destroy the Lakhmids. This may have helped Islam spread. What would happen if they weren't attacked?

I don't understand how conquering the Lakhmids helped Islam spread. The events seem too far apart for this connection to be made.
The Lakhmids served as a buffer between Arab raiders from further south and the Sassanids. When the Sassanids took direct control of the Lakhmid lands, they had to spend resources on defending it from raiders. This weakened their overall position. Had they been stronger, they might have resisted the Arab expansion.
Probably should have asked if this would let the Sassanids survive.
