in Heera, he stayed with the Persian governor. Some people however warned him
saying, "Be careful that the non-Muslims do not give you poison to drink."
Hadhrat Khaalid ww then asked them to bring the poison and when they did,
he took it and swallowed it, saying, "Bismillaah". The poison had no effect on
him whatsoever. ('1

Hadhrat Dhul Jowshan Dhibaabi Ww and others report that Arnr bin Buqayla
had his servant with him, who carried a little bag around his waist. Hadhrat

are
amongst you." He then returned to the people of Heera saying, "To this day have I
not seen anything more inviting." (3)
