English translation

2649. It was reported from Khabbāb who said: "We came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while he was reclining on a Burdah (an outer garment) in the shade of Ka'bah. We complained to him saying: 'Will you not seek help for us, will you not supplicate to Allāh for us?' He sat up straight, his face turned red, and he said: 'Among those who were before you, a man would be taken, and a pit would be dug for him in the earth, and then a saw would be brought, and he would be sawed into two halves from his head, yet that would not make him change his religion, and his flesh would be torn from his bones with an iron comb, yet that would not make him change his religion. By Allāh! Allāh will complete this matter, until a rider will (travel) from Ṣan'ā' to Ḥadramawt, fearing no one but Allāh, and the wolf, regarding his sheep, but you surely are a hasty people.'" (Ṣaḥīh)

2649 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، وَخَالِدٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ، قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ بُرْدَةً فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَشَكَوْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا: أَلَا تَسْتَنْصِرُ لَنَا، أَلَا تَدْعُو اللَّهَ لَنَا؟ فَجَلَسَ مُحْمَرًّا وَجْهُهُ فَقَالَ: «قَدْ كَانَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ يُؤْخَذُ الرَّجُلُ فَيُحْفَرُ لَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِالْمِنْشَارِ فَيُجْعَلُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، فَيُجْعَلُ فِرْقَتَيْنِ مَا يَصْرِفُهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ، وَيُمْشَطُ بِأَمْشَاطِ الْحَدِيدِ مَا دُونَ عَظْمِهِ مِنْ لَحْمٍ وَعَصَبٍ مَا يَصْرِفُهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ، وَاللَّهِ لَيُتِمَّنَّ اللَّهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ حَتَّى يَسِيرَ الرَّاكِبُ مَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَحَضْرَمُوتَ مَا يَخَافُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ تَعَالَى، وَالذِّئْبَ عَلَى غَنَمِهِ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَعْجَلُونَ»
