Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that a man entered the Fire in the form of a fly. Is this a narration about previous nations, about a man from the previous nations, or is it a matter of using an example?
Answer:
This was reported by a group of people before it was known that it was an idol. He passed by an idol, this was its fly, and this is what it offered. It is a realistic narration of an actual event.
