Hashim bin Yahya narrates: Once Malik bin Dinar was sitting, when a man came to him and said, "O Abu Yahya! Pray for this woman who has been pregnant for four years and is in severe pain." Malik bin Dinar became angry, closed the Mushaf, and said, "These people think we are prophets." Then he recited some verses, then prayed and said, "O Allah! If there is air in the woman's womb, then remove it now, and if there is a girl in her womb, then change her into a boy, for You can erase whom You will and keep whom You will; the Mother of the Book is with You." Then Malik bin Dinar raised his hands, and the people also raised their hands. Meanwhile, a messenger came to that man and said, "Go to your wife." The man left, and before Malik bin Dinar had lowered his hands, the man entered through the door of the mosque carrying a child in his arms, who had curly hair, was about four years old, had all his teeth, but his umbilical cord had not been cut.
