«كان الرجل قبلكم يؤخذ فيحفر له في الأرض فيجعل فيه فيجاء بالمنشار فيوضع على رأسه فيشق باثنتين ما يصده ذلك عن دينه ويمشط بأمشاط الحديد ما دون لحمه من عظم أو عصب ما يصده ذلك عن دينه والله ليتمن الله هذا الأمر حتى يسير الراكب من صنعاء إلى حضرموت لا يخاف إلا الله والذئب على غنمه ولكنكم تستعجلون»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"A man (among the people) before you would be seized, a pit would be dug for him in the ground and he would be made to stand in it. Then a saw would be brought and placed on his head, and he would be split into two pieces, yet that would not turn him away from his religion. And his flesh would be combed away from his bones and sinews with iron combs, yet that too would not turn him away from his religion. By Allah! Allah will surely complete this religion, until a rider travels from San'a to Hadramawt fearing no one but Allah, and (fearing) the wolf for his sheep. But you are being hasty."
