Punishment
of a Liar
Narrated Anas: There was a Christian who embraced Islam and
read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the
revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity
again and he used to say: "Muhammad knows nothing but what
I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die, and
the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the
earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act
of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our
companion and took his body out of it because he had run away
from them." They again dug the grave deeply for him, but in
the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body
out. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad and his companions.
They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body outside
it, for he had run away from them." They dug the grave for
him as deep as they could, but in the morning they again saw
that the earth had thrown his body out. So they believed that
what had befallen him was not done by human beings and had
to leave him thrown (on the ground).
