قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ قَالَ:
كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَوْ فِي بَعْضِ الْمُلُوكِ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: لَا أَعْلَمُ الْيَوْمَ أَحَدًا أَعَزَّ مِنِّي. قَالَ: فَبَعَثَ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ أَضْعَفَ خَلْقِهِ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي مَنْخِرِهِ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: اضْرِبُوا، اضْرِبُوا، فَضَرَبُوا رَأْسَهُ بِالْفُؤُوسِ حَتَّى هَشَّمُوا رَأْسَهُ

✧ There was among the Children of Israel, or among some of the kings, a man. He said: 'I do not know anyone today more mighty than me.' He said: Then Allah, Exalted is He, sent to him the weakest of His creation, and it entered his nostril. He began to say: 'Strike, strike!' So they struck his head with axes until they crushed his head.
