2. Certain persons of our people have narrated from ibn Jumhur from his father from Sulayman ibn Sama‘a from ‘Abdallah ibn al-Qasim from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following. “Once abu Ja‘far al-Mansur ordered his governor of Makka and Madina, al-Hassan ibn al-Zayd, to set fire to the house of Ja‘far ibn Muhammad to burn him to death. The house of abu ‘Abdallah was set on fire and it burned the door and the corridor. Abu ‘Abdallah came out walking in the fire and stepping on it and would say,

‘I am the son of ’A‘raq al-Thara (’Isma‘il), I am the son of Ibrahim, (Abraham) the beloved friend of Allah.”
