"إِنَّ بَنِى إِسْرائِيلَ اسْتَخْلَفُوا علَيْهِمْ خَلِيفَةً، فَقَامَ يُصلِّى في القَمَر فَوْقَ بَيْتِ المَقْدِسِ، فَذَكرَ أُمُورًا صَنَعهَا، فَتَدَلَّى بسَبَبٍ فَأَصْبَحَ السَّببُ مُتَعَلِّقًا بالمَسْجِدِ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ، فَانْطَلَقَ حتَّى أتى قَوْمًا عَلَى شَطِّ البَحر فَوَجَدَهُمْ يَصْنعُونَ لَبِنًا فَسَألَهمْ: كَيْفَ

يَأْخُذُونَ عَلَى هَذَا الَّلبِنِ؟ فَأخْبرُوه، فَلَبث مَعهُمْ، فَكَانَ يأكُلُ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِه، حَتَّى إِذَا حَضَرَت الصَّلَاةُ تطَهَّرَ فَصَلَّى، فَرُفَعَ ذَلِكَ العَامِلُ إِلى دِهْقَانِهمْ ، فَقَالَ: فِينَا رَجُلٌ يَصْنَعُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؛ فَأَرْسَلَ إِليْه فأبى أن يَأْتيه، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ جاءَ يَسِيرُ على دَابَّتهِ، فَلَمَّا رآهُ فَرَّ، فَتَبعَهُ فَسَبقَهُ، فَقَال: انْظُرْنى أُكَلمْكَ كَلِمَةً، فَقَام حتَّى كلَّمهُ، فَأَخبَرَهُ: أنَّهُ كَانَ مَلِكًا، وأنَّهُ فَرَّ مِنْ رَهْبَةِ ذنْبِهِ، فَقَال: إِنِّى لا حِقٌ بذلك معك، فَعَبَدا اللَّه جميعًا، فسألا اللَّه ﷻَّ أنْ يُمِيتُهُمَا جميعًا، فماتا جَميعًا ".

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ mentioned that the Children of Israel appointed a caliph over them, and he began to pray to the moon above the House of the Holy Temple and mentioned things he had done. Then, a rope was lowered for him, and he held onto it, and it became attached to the mosque. He went until he reached a people on the shore of the sea, and he found them making cheese. He asked them how they obtained this cheese, and they informed him. So, he took the cheese with him and ate from the work of his own hands. When the time for prayer came, he purified himself and prayed. Then, the worker mentioned that among them was a man who used to do certain things and sent for him, but he refused to come. However, he eventually came riding on his mount, and when the worker saw him, he ran away. The man followed him, and when he caught up to him, he asked him to wait for him so he could speak a word to him. The man stood and spoke to him and informed him that he was a king who had fled out of fear of his sins. He said, "I am following you in this matter, so let us both worship Allah." They both prayed to Allah to cause both of them to die. They both died, and Abdullah said, "If I were in Rumailah in Egypt, I would have shown you their graves as described by the Prophet ﷺ."
