559. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Aban Bin usman, from Hujr, who has said the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said; ‘Ibrahim (as) opposed his (as) people, and faulted their gods until he was brought to Nimrod (la) to contend with him (la). So Ibrahim (as) said: “[2:258] My Lord is He who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, then make it rise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and Allah does not guide aright the unjust people”. And Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘He (as) faulted their gods, “[37:88] And he glanced a glance at the stars [37:89] Then said: Lo! I feel sick!” Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj), he (as) was not sick, nor did he (as) lie. So when they turned away from him (as) to attend to their festivities, Ibrahim (as) came to their gods with an axe and broke them, except for the big one of theirs, and placed the axe around its neck. They came back to their gods and saw what had happened to them, so they said, ‘No, by Allah (azwj), no one has the audacity to break these except for the young man (as) who had faulted these and keeps away from them’. So they did not find for him (as) a manner of killing more severe than the fire. They gathered the firewood, and fuelled it. When it came to the day in which he (as) was to be burnt, Nimord (la) and his (la) army came out, and there had been built for them a building to look at him (as) from above to see how the fire would grab hold of him (as). And they placed Ibrahim (as) in a catapult, and the earth cried out: ‘O Lord (azwj)! There is none upon my back who worships You (azwj) apart from him (as) who is being burnt by the fire’. The Lord (azwj) Said: “If he (as) supplicates to Me (azwj), I (azwj) shall Suffice for him (as)’. Aban has mentioned, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from the one who reported it, from Abu Ja’far (asws) that: ‘The supplication of Ibrahim (as) on that day was: ‘O One! O Everlasting! O Everlasting! O One Who does not beget nor is He Begotten, and there is none comparable to Him!’ Then he (as) said: ‘I (as) rely upon Allah (azwj)’. So the Lord (azwj) Blessed and High Said: “I (azwj) shall Suffice for you (as)”. So the fire said: ‘Make me to be cold’. He (asws) said: ‘The teeth of Ibrahim chattered from the cold until Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Said: “Safety upon Ibrahim (as)”. And Jibraeel descended, and he was seated with Ibrahim (as) talking to him (as) in the fire. Nimrod (la) said, ‘When you take a god, you should take a god similar to that of the God of Ibrahim (as)’. He (asws) said; ‘So a great one from their great ones said, ‘It was I who intended that the fire should not burn him (as)’. So a huge flame shot out from the fire at him until it incinerated him’. He (asws) said: ‘Lut (as) believed in him (as), and went out as an emigrant to Syria – him (as), and Sarah (as) and Lut (as)’.
