ome to me-la with them-asws being alive? I-la would have doubled the reward for you-la and made it to be four thousand Dirhams! ’ He-la said, ‘I-la did not see any way to that except drawing closer to you-la with their-asws blood’. He-la said, ‘So which thing did they-asws say to you-la as well? ’ He-la said, ‘They-asws said to me-la, ‘O Sheikh! Preserve our-ra relationship from Rasool-Allah-saww! ’’ He-la said, ‘So which thing did you-la say to them-asws? ’ He-la said, ‘I-la said to them-asws, ‘There is no relationship for you-asws two from Rasool-Allah-saww! ’’
He-la said, ‘Woe be unto you-la! So which thing did they-asws say to you-la as well? ’ He-la said, ‘They-asws said, ‘O Sheikh! Have mercy on our-asws young age’’. He-la said, ‘So you-la did not have mercy on them-asws? ’ He-la said, ‘Allah-azwj did not Make any mercy in my-la heart to be for them‑asws’. He-la said, ‘Woe be unto you-la!

Who is for the mischief-maker? ’ A man from the people of Syrian yelled to him-la, ‘I am for him-la! ’
He-la said, ‘Got out with him-la to the very place in which he-la had killed the two boys-asws and struck off his-la neck and did not leave his-la blood to mingle with their-ra blood and hasten with his-la head! ’
The man did that and came with his-la head. He-la had it installed upon a gutter, and the children went on to pelt it with the sticks and stones, and they were saying, ‘This is the killer of the children of Rasool-Allah-saww! ’’[58]
