237 – Al-Ḥusayn narrated to me; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Murrah al-Himyari narrated from his father. He said: Muhallab ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dhī Yarḥam related to me from ʿĪsā ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yaḥyir ibn Dīsān, who said:

“During the autumn rains in the caliphate of Muʿāwiyah, a torrent cut through the land and revealed a small stone chamber with a stone door. When it was opened, inside lay a raised grave bearing a sealed iron tablet on which was written ⦗182⦘:

‘I am Barān Bahīr, the king, son of kings. I lived seven hundred years, deflowered one thousand maidens, and routed one thousand armies; then death overtook me. Whoever beholds my grave, let him fear God and know that his own end is death.’”
