أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There was a king among those before you who had a sorcerer. When the sorcerer grew old, he said to the king, "I have become old and my time has come, so send me a boy that I may teach him sorcery." So he sent him a boy, and he taught him sorcery. Between the sorcerer and the king there was a monk. The boy came to the monk and listened to his words, and his words and manner pleased him. Whenever he came to the sorcerer, the sorcerer beat him and said, "What kept you?" And whenever he came to his family, he would sit with the monk. When he came to his family, they beat him and said, "What kept you?" He complained of that to the monk, who said, "If the sorcerer wants to beat you, say, 'My family kept me,' and if your family wants to beat you, say, 'The sorcerer kept me.'" [330] While he was in that situation, one day he came upon a huge, terrifying beast that had blocked the people, so they could not pass. He said, "Today I shall know whether the affair of the monk is more beloved to Allah or the affair of the sorcerer." He took a stone and said, "O Allah, if the affair of the monk is more beloved to You and more pleasing than the affair of the sorcerer, then kill this beast so that the people may pass." He threw it at it and killed it, and the people moved on. He informed the monk of that, and the monk said, "O my son, you are better than me, and you will be tested. If you are tested, do not point to me." The boy used to heal the blind and the leper and other diseases and cure them. A companion of the king had become blind, and he heard about him, so he came to him with many gifts and said, "Heal me and all that is here will be yours." He said, "I do not heal anyone; it is only Allah, may He be glorified, who heals. If you believe in Allah, I will call upon Allah and He will heal you." So he believed, and he called upon Allah, may He be glorified, for him, and He healed him. Then he came to the king and sat with him as he used to sit. The king said to him, "O so-and-so, who restored your sight?" He said, "My Lord." He said, "Me?" He said, "No, but my Lord and your Lord is Allah." He said, "Do you have a lord other than me?" He said, "Yes." He did not cease torturing him until he pointed to the boy. He sent for him and said, "O my son, your sorcery has reached such a point that you heal the blind and the leper and these diseases." He said, "I do not heal anyone; none heals except Allah." He said, "Me?" He said, "No." He said, "Do you have a lord other than me?" He said, "Yes, my Lord and your Lord is Allah." So he also seized him with torture and did not cease until he pointed to the monk. The monk was brought and told, "Renounce your religion," but he refused. So a saw was placed on the middle of his head until his two halves fell to the ground. Then he said to the blind man, "Renounce your religion," but he refused, and a saw was placed on the middle of his head until his two halves fell to the ground. [331] Then he said to the boy, "Renounce your religion," but he refused. So he sent with him a group to such-and-such a mountain and said, "When you reach its peak, if he returns from his religion, then spare him; otherwise, push him off from the top." So they went with him. When they ascended the mountain with him, he said, "O Allah, suffice me against them as You will." The mountain shook, and they all tumbled down. The boy came until he entered upon the king, who said, "What did your companions do?" He said, "Allah, may He be glorified, sufficed me against them." Then he sent with him a group in a small boat and said, "When you sail with him into the sea, if he returns from his religion, then spare him; otherwise, drown him." Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Some of the wording of "drown him" has fallen from his book. So they sailed with him into the sea. The boy said, "O Allah, suffice me against them as You will." They all drowned. The boy came until he entered upon the king, who said, "What did your companions do?" He said, "Allah, may He be mighty and glorious, sufficed me against them." Then he said to the king, "You will not kill me until you do what I command you. If you do what I command you, you will kill me." He said, "And what is it?" He said, "Gather the people on a plain, then crucify me on a trunk. Take an arrow from my quiver, then say, 'In the name of the Lord of the boy.' If you do that, you will kill me." So he did it, placed the arrow in the middle of his bow, then shot and said, "In the name of the Lord of the boy." The arrow struck his temple. The boy placed his hand on the place of the arrow and died, may Allah have mercy on him. The people said, "We believe in the Lord of the boy." It was said to the king, "Do you see what you were wary of? By Allah, it has befallen you; all the people have believed." So he ordered trenches dug at the mouths of the streets, and fires were kindled in them. He said, "Whoever returns from his religion, leave him; otherwise, cast him into it." They were contending and pushing one another. A woman came with her infant son whom she was nursing, and it was as if she held back from falling into the fires. The child said, "Be patient, for you are upon the truth."
