The muezzin of Banu Hanifa, Ibrahim, narrates that when Hajjaj ordered Mahan Hanfi to be crucified and he was hung on the wood, I was watching him. He was reciting Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, and Alhamdulillah. He was also counting these words on his fingers, and when he reached the number twenty-nine, he was struck with a spear in that very state. I saw him a month later, and even then his hands appeared to be counting up to twenty-nine. At night, a light could be seen near him.
