Hazrat Amir says that I was sitting with Ziyad bin Abi Sufyan when a man was brought in dragging, and we had no doubt that he would be killed. Amir says: I saw him, his lips were moving slightly, I did not know what he was saying. Amir says, then Ziyad set him free. Then among the people, a man turned towards him and said: Indeed, you were brought here and we had no doubt that you would be killed. Then I saw that for some reason your lips were moving, we did not know what it was. The man said, then Ziyad set you free! That person said: I recited this supplication: O Allah! Nurturer of Ibrahim, and Nurturer of Ishaq, and Nurturer of Yaqub, and Lord of Jibreel, Mikaeel, and Israfeel, and Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and the Great Qur’an, remove from me the evil of Ziyad.
