Mukhtasar Bukhari

Sayyiduna Khabbab bin Al-Aratt (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the persecution of the disbelievers. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was reclining on his cloak in the shade of the Ka'bah. We said, "Why do you not seek (Allah's) help for us? Why do you not pray for us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among those before you, there were people for whom a pit would be dug in the ground, then they would be placed in it, and a saw would be brought and placed on their heads and they would be cut into two pieces, but even then they would not turn away from their true religion. And iron combs would be run over their bones and flesh, but even then they would not abandon their faith. By Allah, Allah will surely complete this religion, until a rider will travel from Sana'a to Hadramaut fearing none but Allah, or only fearing the wolf lest it should eat his sheep, but you are being impatient."
