We said to him: “Would you seek help for us?” He said: “Among the nations before you a (believing) man would be put in a ditch that was dug for him, and a saw would be put over his head, and he would be cut into two pieces: Yet that (torture) would not make him given up his religion. His body would be ruined with iron combs that would remove his flesh from the bones and nerves, yet that would not make him abandon his religion. By Allâh, this religion (i.e. Islâm) will prevail till a traveler from San’a’ (in Yemen) to Hadramaut (south of Arabia) fears none but Allâh, or a wolf as regards his sheep, but you (people) are hasty.
