[Machine] From his father, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: "{Have you not seen those who left their homes in great numbers, fearing death?}" [Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 243] to His saying: "{And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers}" [Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 95]. He (the narrator) said: Allah the Exalted revealed to their prophet that in the son of So-and-So there is a man who Allah will be killed by with Goliath (Jalut). Among his signs is this horn that he places on his head, and whatever he missed in the past will be returned to him. So he came to him and said, "Indeed, Allah has revealed to me that a man in your lineage will kill Goliath." He said, "Yes, O Prophet of Allah." He said, "So he brought out for him twelve men in rows, resembling the saviors, and among them is a skilled man. He made them pass by the horn, but he could not see anything." He said, "Then he said, 'You have other children besides those.' He said, 'Yes, O Prophet of Allah. I have a short son whom I am shy for people to see.' So I placed him among the sheep." He said, "And where is he?" He said, "He is in the group of such and such." He said, "So he went to him and said, 'This is him, no doubt about it.' And he placed the horn on his head, and he stood up."
