So when Sara came out, and she had good qualities and was very beautiful, the tax collector said to him -as , ‘What is (the relationship of) this woman to you -as ?’ Ibrahim -as said; ‘She is my -as sanctity (Hurmat i.e., wife) and the daughter of my -as aunt’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَاشِرُ فَمَا دَعَاكَ إِلَى أَنْ خَبَيْتَهَا فِي هَذَا التَّابُوتِ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) الْغَيْرَةُ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَاشِرُ لَسْتُ أَدَعُكَ تَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أُعْلِمَ الْمَلِكَ حَالَهَا وَ حَالَكَ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولًا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ فَأَعْلَمَهُ فَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ رَسُولًا مِنْ قِبَلِهِ لِيَأْتُوهُ بِالتَّابُوتِ فَأَتَوْا لِيَذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) إِنِّي لَسْتُ أُفَارِقُ التَّابُوتَ حَتَّى تُفَارِقَ رُوحِي جَسَدِي فَأَخْبَرُوا الْمَلِكَ بِذَلِكَ فَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ أَنِ احْمِلُوهُ وَ التَّابُوتَ مَعَهُ The tax collector said to him -as , ‘So what made you -as to place her in this carriage (Taboot)?’ Ibrahim -as said: ‘The honour (Ghairat) against anyone looking at her’.
So the tax collector said to him -as , ‘I will not leave you -as to depart until I let the king know of her condition and yours -as ’. He sent a messenger to the king, who let him know, and the king sent a messenger from him telling them to bring him -as to him. So Ibrahim -as said to them: ‘I -as will not separate from the carriage (Taboot) even if my -as soul separates from my -as body’.
So they informed the king about that, and the king sent a message that they should bring him -as and the box with him ‑as .
