When the caliph, or ruler, asked him for a sign of his messiahship, this messiah proposed that the caliph have him beheaded and let his swift resurrection serve as the sign.
Kui kaliif ehk valitseja küsis temalt tundemärki, tõestamaks, et ta on messias, tegi messias ettepaneku, et kaliif ta pea maha raiuks ja ta kärmet ülestõusmist tundemärgiks peaks.
