أَتَى قَوْمٌ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالُوا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَبَّنَا فَاسْتَتَابَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَحَفَرَ لَهُمْ حَفِيرَةً وَ أَوْقَدَ فِيهَا نَاراً وَ حَفَرَ حَفِيرَةً أُخْرَى إِلَى جَانِبِهَا وَ أَفْضَى بَيْنَهُمَا فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَتُوبُوا أَلْقَاهُمْ فِي الْحَفِيرَةِ وَ أَوْقَدَ فِي الْحَفِيرَةِ الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى مَاتُوا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A group of people came to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, so they said, ‘السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَبَّنَا’ ‘Peace be upon you<sup>asws</sup>, O our Lord!’ So he<sup>asws</sup> told them to repent, but they did not repent. So he<sup>asws</sup> dug out a pit for them, and kindle a fire in it, and dug out another pit to its side, and bore a hole between the two. So when they did not repent, he<sup>asws</sup> cast them into the pit, and inflamed (the fire) in the other pit, until they died’.
