There was a woman in San'a' who had a stepson. Her husband was absent, and her stepson was with her. She had a male friend, and she said: "This boy will expose us, so see what you will do with him." They conspired against him, and they were seven with the woman. He said: I said to him: "How did they conspire against him?" He said: "I do not know, except that one of them was given a knife." He said: They killed him and threw him into a well in Ghumdan. He said: The boy was missed. He said: The woman who was his father's wife came out going around on a donkey, and she was the one who had killed him with the group, and she was saying: "O Allah, do not hide the blood of Asil." He said: Ya'la addressed the people and said: "Look whether you sense this boy or whether he is mentioned to you." He said: After some days a man passed by the well of Ghumdan and saw green flies rising from the well once and descending again. He looked over the well and smelled a stench he disliked, so he came to Ya'la and said: "I think I have found your companion for you." He said: He told him the story. He said: Ya'la went out until he stood at the well, with the people with him. He said: The man who had killed him, the woman's friend, said: "Lower me down with a rope." He said: They lowered him, and he took the boy and hid him in a passage in the well. Then he said: "Lift me up." So they lifted him, and he said: "I could not find anything." The people said: "The smell from it is now stronger than when we came." Another man said: "Lower me down." When they wanted to lower him, a trembling seized the other man, so they secured him, and they lowered their companion. When he descended into it, he brought the body up to them, then came out. The man, the woman's friend, confessed, the woman confessed, and they all confessed. Ya'la wrote to 'Umar, and he wrote to him: "Kill them. If the people of San'a' colluded in it, I would have killed them." He said: "So he killed the seven."
