Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection every human being will come before Allah Almighty with some sin he has committed; if Allah Almighty wills, He will punish him for that sin, and if He wills, He will have mercy on him. Only the case of Sayyiduna Yahya bin Zakariyya (peace be upon him) is different, for he was a leader, chaste, a prophet, and one of the righteous." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached out his hand towards a small twig lying on the ground, took hold of it, and said: "His private part was like this twig."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Hajjaj bin Sulayman al-Ru'ayni, whom Ibn Hibban and others declared thiqah (trustworthy) and Abu Zur'ah and others declared da'if (weak), and the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
