In ''[[Mizan al-Itidal|Mīzān al-Iʿtidāl]]'', it is mentioned that a letter from the [[Khalifa|caliph]] came to the city. The letter was meant to inform everyone of the caliph's appointment of his son as [[crown prince]]. In the letter, it mentioned "We gave him wisdom as a child" ([[Quran|Qurʾān]] 19:12, referring to [[John the Baptist in Islam|Prophet Yaḥyā]]. But the caliph mentioned it to refer to his son). Upon hearing this, Abū Muṭīʿ entered upon the governor and said: "Has the danger of this world reached a point that we disbelieve (in God) because of it?" He repeated this several times until the governor wept and said: "I agree with you, but I do not dare to speak. So you are safe from me." So on [[Friday prayer|Friday]], he went and ascended the pulpit and said: "O assembly of Muslims!" He grasped his beard and wept, saying, "The danger of this world has reached a point that it leads one to disbelief. Whoever says: ‘And we gave him wisdom as a child’ referring to other than Yaḥyā, is a disbeliever.” |
