"I was in the army camp and I was told that there was a prisoner brought from the area of al-Sham (Syria) tied up and that he has proclaimed himself a prophet." Ali ibn Khalid has said, "I went to him and found my way through the guards until I reached him. I found him to be a man of understanding.

I asked him, "O you, what is your story and your case?" He said, "I am a man from al-Sham, worshipping Allah at a place called the 'place of the head of al-Husayn'. During my worshipping a man came to me and said, "Come with me." I went with him and I found myself in theMosque of al-Kufa. He asked me, "Do you recognize this Mosque?" I replied, "Yes, I recognize it." He said, "He prayed and I prayed with him. Then I found us in the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah in Madina.

He offered greeting of peace to the Messenger of Allah and I did the same. He prayed and I prayed with him. He offered the special prayer for the Messenger of Allah. I was with him and found us in Makka. I continued to find myself with him until we finished all the acts to be perform there. Then I found myself with him at the place that I would worship in al-Sham. The man left. The next year I was with him again and we did as in the year before.

When we finished all of the forms of worship and returned me back to my place of worship in al-Sham and was about to leave I asked him this.
