- There was a Christian person who was called ‘Abd al-Salib. He was from the area of Dalja in the southern regions. It was said about him that he insulted the Prophet, peace be upon him, with vulgar words... When they brought the Christian before the sultan and he confessed to what he said against the Prophet, peace be upon him, they offered him conversion to Islam, but he refused... He pledged not to change his religion, so the judges condemned him to death. Representatives of the ruler bore witness to this [confession]. So they mounted him on a camel while he was nailed, and they displayed him in Cairo until they brought him to al-Madrasa al-Salihiyya. They beheaded him under the windows of the school. The public then brought fire and wood and burned his body in the midst of the market [sūq]. When nighttime fell, the dogs came and ate his bones, and his matter ended. (en)
