Dialogue Between the Pious and the Wretched
Shaykh `Aa'id Abdullah al-Qarnee

Al Aswad al `Ansi, a man in Yemen who claimed prophethood, asked Abu Muslim to believe in him and testify that he is a messenger. Abu Muslim told him: "I can't hear a thing." So Abu Muslim, one of the awliyaa' (friends, allies of Allah) from the second generation of Muslims, belied him. Al Aswad al `Ansi prepared firewood and threw him in fire. Abu Muslim said: "Hasbuna'Llah wa ni`mal wakeel (Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best Protector . the words that Prophet Ibrahim `alayhis salam said when he was thrown in fire)", so Allah made the fire cool and safe for him.
[Later] `Umar hugged him in joy and said: "Welcome, O Khaleel (i.e. referring to Prophet Ibrahim `alayhis salam) of this Ummah" - or "the man who resembled al-Khaleel Ibraheem", or as he said, may Allah be pleased with him. Why? Because the Taqiyy (pious one) knew Allah and the Shaqiyy (wretched one) denied Allah's favors and went beyond the limits in transgression against Allah and His awliyaa' (allies)."
