Khabab reported,

We complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was reclining on his cloak in the shade of the Kaabah. We said, "Will you not seek Allah's help for us? Will you not pray for victory on our behalf?"He replied, "Among those who came before you, a man would be seized and a hole would be dug for him in the ground. A saw would then be brought and placed upon his head, and he would be cut in two, yet this would not turn him away from his religion. He would be combed with iron combs that scraped away the flesh and sinews from his bones, yet this would not turn him away from his religion. By Allah, Allah will surely complete this matter until a rider can travel from Madinah to Hadramawt fearing none but Allah , and the wolf for his sheep. But you are being impatient."

حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد عن إسماعيل قال حدثنا قيس

عن خباب قال

شكونا إلى رسول الله ﷺ وهو متوسد بردة في ظل الكعبة فقلنا ألا تستنصر لنا الله عز وجل أو ألا يعني تستنصر لنا فقال قد كان الرجل فيمن كان قبلكم يؤخذ فيحفر له في الأرض فيجاء بالميشار فيوضع على رأسه فيجعل بنصفين فما يصده ذلك عن دينه ويمشط بأمشاط الحديد ما دون عظمه من لحم أو عصب فما يصده ذلك عن دينه والله ليتمن الله هذا الأمر حتى يسير الراكب من المدينة إلى حضرموت لا يخاف إلا الله عز وجل والذئب على غنمه ولكنكم تستعجلون
