Hadith of Khabbab bin al-Aratt
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7213 — we complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدِيثُ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الْأَرَتِّ
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ : شَكَوْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ بِبُرْدَةٍ لَهُ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، فَقُلْنَا : أَلَا تَسْتَنْصِرُ لَنَا ؟ فَجَلَسَ مُحْمَرًّا وَجْهُهُ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ كَانَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ يُؤْخَذُ الرَّجُلُ فَيُحْفَرُ لَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، ثُمَّ يُجَاءُ بِالْمِنْشَارِ يُجْعَلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ ، مَا يَصْرِفُهُ عَنْ دِينِهِ ، أَوْ يُمْشَطُ بِأَمْشَاطِ الْحَدِيدِ مَا دُونَ لَحْمِهِ مِنْ عَظْمٍ وَعَصَبٍ مَا يَصْرِفُهُ عَنْ دِينِهِ ، وَلَيُتِمَّنَّ اللهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ حَتَّى يَسِيرَ الرَّاكِبُ مِنْ صَنْعَاءَ إِلَى حَضْرَمَوْتَ لَا يَخْشَى إِلَّا اللهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - ، وَالذِّئْبَ عَلَى غَنَمِهِ ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَعْجَلُونَ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) that we complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (about the persecution of the idolaters) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was reclining on a cloak of his in the shade of the Ka'bah. We said: "Will you not pray to Allah for help for us?" Hearing this, the blessed face of him (peace and blessings be upon him) changed and turned red, and he sat up, then said: "Among the people before you, a man would be brought, a pit would be dug for him in the ground, then a saw would be brought and placed on the middle of his head (and he would be cut in two), yet even this torment would not turn him away from his religion; or his flesh would be combed off down to the bones and sinews with iron combs, yet all this could not turn him away from his religion. By Allah! Allah Almighty will surely complete this matter (of the religion), until a rider will travel from San'a' to Hadramawt fearing no one except Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and at most the wolf for his sheep. But you people are in a hurry."
