The young man explained, "Ask the people to gather in a field and cross me on the palm fronds. Then take an arrow from my kinanah (the tube where the arrows are stored). Next put the arrow on the bowstring and say," In the name of Allah The Lord of this young man", and shoot the arrow at me. If you do all those you will be able to kill me."

The king then gathered the people in a field and cross the young man on the palm leaves. Then the king took an arrow from the kinanah and put it on the bowstring. The king said, "In the name of Allah the Lord of that young man." Then he shot the young man right about his temple. The young man put his hand over his temple and died. People who witnessed it exclaimed, "We declare faith in the God of the Young man." The king came to them, and they tried to remind him. "Don't you remember everything you said before. By Allah, what the young man had said was proven, everyone now believe in Allah."

Hearing this, the king then ordered to make an elongated hole (Al Ukhdud). After that the hole was excavated and its surface was shaped like a mouth or a door, and the king ordered to light a fire. He then said to the people "Whoever does not want to turn away from his faith, jump into the fire." So the people plunged into the fire. Then a woman came carrying her child. The woman retreated a bit for fear of falling into the fire. So the child said," O mother, be patient! Surely you are on the right way." (Moslem hadith)
