Hadith 269

(The non-Shia book) ‘Al Durr Al Mansour – He said, ‘Al Zubeyr Bin Bakkar brought out regarding the concurred (reports), from Abdullah Bin Amr Bin Al Aas who said, ‘Wonders of the world are four. There was a mirror which was hanging in a minaret of Alexandria. The gatherers would sit beneath it and would sight the ones at Constantinople, and between the two there is width of the ocean; and a copper horse in the land of Andalus’, speaking by his hand like that, extending his hand’ – i. e. , there isn’t any road behind me. No one would tread that city except the ants would eat him; And there is a copper minaret having a copper rider upon it, in the land of Aad. When there were the sacred months, the water would precipitate from it, and the would be quenched and they scoop in the fountain. When the sacred months pass by, that water is cut off. And there is a tree of copped having blackness of copper upon it, in the land of Rowmiya. Whenever it were the season of the olives, the blackness which is from the copper, turns yellow. Every black one from the birds come with three olives, two olives in its legs and an olive in its beak, until it throws it upon that blackness which is from the copper. The people of Rowmiya squeeze whatever suffices for their sauces and such is their way to the following year’’. [108] (Not a Hadeeth + non-Shia source)
