He would order it to be cut, then tied, and its name and cure would be written on the bundle. Until, at the end of that period, Al-Yinbūtah grew, and he asked it: 'What are you?' It replied: 'I am Al-Kharūbah,' and remained silent. Solomon then said: 'Now I know that Allah has permitted the destruction of this mosque and the end of this kingdom.' He did not live long after that.
