شكونا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو مُتوسِدٌ بردة له في ظل الكعبة فقلنا : ألا تستنصر لنا ألا تدعو لنا ؟ فقال : قد كان مَن قبلكم يؤخذ الرجل فيُحفر له في الأرض فيُجعل فيها ، ثم يؤتى بالمنشار فيوضع على رأسه فيجعل نصفين ، ويمشط بأمشاط الحديد ما دون لحمه وعظمه ، ما يصده ذلك عن دينه ، والله ليتمنَّ الله هذا الأمر حتى يسير الراكب من صنعاء إلى حضرموت لا يخاف إلا الله والذئب على غنمه ، ولكنكم تستعجلونAnd in another narration
