English translation
3617. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Sūrat Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the revelation) for the Prophet ﷺ. Later on he reverted to Christianity again, and he used to say: "Muḥammad (ﷺ) knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allāh caused him to die, and the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of Muḥammad (ﷺ) and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them." They again dug the grave deeply for him (and buried him), but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is an act of Muḥammad (ﷺ) and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body outside it, for he had run away from them." They dug the grave for him as deep as they could (and buried him), but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. So they believed that what had befallen him was not done by human beings and had to leave him thrown (on the ground).
