[Machine] There was a king before you who rebelled against his Lord. The Muslims waged war against him and captured him unharmed. They asked, "How should we kill him?" They agreed to place a large cauldron under him and fill it with fire, but not to kill him until they made him taste the torment. So they did that to him. He began calling upon his gods one by one, saying, "O so-and-so, I used to worship you and pray to you and seek refuge in you. So save me from what I am experiencing." When they saw him gaining no relief from them, he raised his head to the sky and said, "There is no god but Allah," and he called upon Allah sincerely. Allah poured a shower of ice from the sky, which extinguished the fire, and a scorching wind came and carried away that cauldron. He began to revolve between the sky and the earth, saying, "There is no god but Allah." Allah then cast him to a people who did not worship Allah, and he proclaimed, "There is no god but Allah." They imprisoned him and said, "What is wrong with you?" He replied, "I am the king of so-and-so's tribe." He then told them the story, and they believed him.
