After me-asws, you will be seized and crucified’. So, when it will be the second day, your nostrils would be cut, and your mouth will bleed until your beard will be dyed. When it will be the third day, you will be stabbed with a spear, so there will be the Decree (of death) upon you, so await that. And the place in which you will be crucified in would be at a house of Amro Bin Hureys. You will be the tenth of ten, you shall be upon their shortest plank, and closest of them from the purifier, meaning the ground, and I-asws will show you the palm tree which you will be crucified upon its trunk’.

I have been Created for you and you have grown for me’. He did not cease going to it after the killing of Ali-asws until it was cut. So, he used to watch over its trunk and getting accustomed to it and kept returning to it and see it.
