part from me-la! ’ And he-la grabbed the sword and walked in front of them-asws. When he-la came to the banks of the Euphrates, he-la bared the sword from its sheath. When the two boys-asws looked at the unsheathed sword, their eyes were tearful, and they-asws said to him-la, ‘O Sheikh! Go with us‑asws to the (slave) market and enjoy with our-asws price and you-la do not want Muhammad‑saww to be your-la adversary tomorrow during the Qiyamah! ’
He-la said, ‘No, but I-la will kill you-asws both and go with your-asws heads to Ubeydullah-la Bin Ziyad-la and take the reward of two thousand’. They-asws said to him-la, ‘O Sheikh! Will you-la not preserve our-asws relationship from Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ He-la said, ‘There is no relationship for you-asws two from Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
They-asws said to him-la, ‘O Sheikh! Then go with us-asws to Ubeydullah Bin Ziyad-la until he-la decides regarding us-asws with his-la order’. He-la said, ‘There is no way to that except I-la shall draw closer to him-la with your-asws blood’. They-asws said to him-la, ‘Will you-la not have mercy on our-asws young age? ’ He-la said, ‘Allah-azwj has not Made any mercy to be in my-la heart for you-asws two! ’
They-asws said, ‘O Sheikh! If it has to happen and there is no escape, then leave us-asws to pray two Cycles’. He-la said, ‘Pray for as long as you-asws desire, the Salat will not benefit you-asws! ’
The two boys prayed Salat of four Cycles, then raised their-asws eyes towards the sky and called out, ‘O Living! O Lenient! O Judge of all judges! Judge between us-asws and him-la with the truth! ’
He-la stood to the elder and struck off his-asws neck and took his-asws head and placed it in the bag, and the younger boy came to wallow in the blood of his-asws brother-asws, and he-asws was saying, ‘Until I-asws meet Rasool-Allah-saww and I-asws am dyed with the blood of my-asws brother‑asws’. He-la said, ‘(That) is not upon you-asws. Soon I-la will join you-asws with your-asws brother-asws’. Then he-la stood to the younger boy and struck off his-asws neck and took his-asws head and placed it in the bag and threw their bodies into the water and these were dripping blood, and he-la went until he-la came with these to Ubeydullah Bin Ziyad-la, and he-la was seated upon a chair of his-la, and in his-la hand was a bamboo stick. He-la placed the two heads in front of him‑la. When he-la looked at them, he-la stood up, then sat down, then stood up, then sat down, thrice, then said, ‘Woe be unto you-la! Where were you-la victorious with them? ’ He-la said, ‘An old woman of ours-la had lodged them-asws’. He-la said, ‘Did you not recognise the right of the guest to be for them-asws? ’ He-la said, ‘No! ’
He-la said, ‘So which thing did they-asws say to you-la? ’ He-la said, ‘They-asws said, ‘O Sheikh! Go with us-asws to the (slave) market and sell us and benefit with our-asws price, and you-la don’t want Muhammad-saww to be your-la adversary during the Qiyamah’’. He-la said, ‘So which thing did you-la say to them-asws? ’ He-la said, ‘I-la said, ‘No, but I-la will kill you-asws both and go with your-asws heads to Ubeydullah-la Bin Ziyad-la and take the reward of two thousand Dirhams’.
