473. Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazzaaz, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah having said: ‘When Ibrahim saw the Kingdom of the Heavens and the earth, he turned and saw a man committing adultery. So he supplicated against him. He died. Then he saw another one. He supplicated against him, so he died as well, to the extent that he saw a third one, and he supplicated against him and he died too. So Allah (azwj) Revealed unto him : “O Ibrahim ! If you supplicate, it would be Answered, so do not supplicate against My (azwj) servants, for if I (azwj) so Desired, I (azwj) would have never Created them. I (azwj) Created My (azwj) creation upon three categories. There is a type of servant who worships Me (azwj) and does not associate anything with Me (azwj), so I (azwj) reward him; and there is a servant who worships other than Me (azwj) so he won’t escape Me (azwj); and a servant who worships other than Me (azwj), so I (azwj) bring out from his descendants the one who would worship Me (azwj)”. Then he turned, so he saw a carcass on the coast of the sea, half of it was in the water and half of it in the sand. The sea lions came and ate what was in the water, then returned and he saw some of them on top of the others eating each other, and the lions of the land came and ate from it. So he saw some of them on top of each other, eating each other. That surprised Ibrahim from what he saw, and said: “[2:260] Show me, Lord, how You will raise the dead”. How do You (azwj) Bring back that which has consumed each other’. “He replied: "Have you no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my heart”, meaning, until he sees this like he sees all the things’. “Allah said, "Take four birds, draw them to you, and cut their bodies to pieces. Scatter them over the mountain-tops”. So he cut them and mixed them up just like this corpse has been mixed up inside the lion which some of them consumed the others “Scatter them over the mountain-tops then call them back. They will come swiftly to you”. So when he called them over, they responded. And the mountains were ten in number’.
