عنْ أبي عبدِ اللّهِ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الأَرتِّ رضيَ اللّهُ عنه قال: شَكَوْنَا إِلَى رسولِ اللّهِ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم وَهُو مُتَوسِّدٌ بُرْدَةً لَهُ في ظلِّ الْكَعْبةِ، فَقُلْنَا: أَلا تَسْتَنْصِرُ لَنَا أَلا تَدْعُو لَنَا؟ فَقَالَ: «قَد كَانَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ يؤْخَذُ الرَّجُلُ فيُحْفَرُ لَهُ في الأَرْضِ فيُجْعلُ فِيهَا، ثمَّ يُؤْتَى بالْمِنْشارِ فَيُوضَعُ علَى رَأْسِهِ فيُجعَلُ نِصْفَيْن، ويُمْشَطُ بِأَمْشاطِ الْحديدِ مَا دُونَ لَحْمِهِ وَعظْمِهِ، ما يَصُدُّهُ ذلكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ، واللّهِ ليُتِمَّنَّ اللّهُ هَذا الأَمْرَ حتَّى يسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ مِنْ صنْعاءَ إِلَى حَضْرَمَوْتَ لا يخافُ إِلَّا اللّهَ والذِّئْبَ عَلَى غنَمِهِ، ولكِنَّكُمْ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ» رواه البخاري. • وفي رواية: «وهُوَ مُتَوسِّدٌ بُرْدَةً وقَدْ لقِينَا مِنَ الْمُشْركِين شِدَّةً».

On the authority of Abu Abdullah, Khabbab ibn al-Aratt (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: We complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was reclining on his cloak in the shade of the Ka'bah. We said: "Will you not seek victory for us? Will you not pray for us?" He said: "Among those who came before you, a man would be seized and a pit would be dug for him in the earth, then he would be placed in it. Then a saw would be brought and placed on his head and he would be split in two halves. He would be combed with iron combs that would strip away his flesh and bones, yet none of that would deter him from his religion. By Allah, Allah will surely bring this matter to completion, until a rider will travel from Sana'a to Hadramawt fearing none but Allah and the wolf for his sheep, but you are a people in haste." Narrated by al-Bukhari. In another narration: "While he was reclining on his cloak, and we had suffered great hardship from the polytheists."
