It is narrated from Hazrat Salman that when Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was shown the hidden (wondrous) secrets of the earth and the heavens, he saw a man committing adultery with a woman. He prayed against him, and he was destroyed. Then he saw another and prayed against him, and he too was destroyed. Then he saw a third and prayed against him, and he too was destroyed. Allah Almighty commanded: "Bring My servant down; My servants should not be destroyed."
