Abū Nūḥ ʿl-Anṣārī said: A fire once broke out in a house where ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn – may Allah have mercy on him – was prostrating in prayer. مُحَمَّدُ بنُ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ السِّنْدِيُّ: عَنْ أَبِي نُوْحٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: وَقَعَ حَرِيْقٌ فِي بَيْتٍ فِيْهِ عَلِيُّ بنُ الحُسَيْنِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ،
So they (ie: the residents) began to say: “O son of the Messenger of Allah! Fire!” فَجَعَلُوا يَقُوْلُوْنَ: يَا ابْنَ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ، النَّارَ!
He didn’t raise his head until the fire went out. فَمَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى طُفِئَتْ.
When asked about this he said: “The other Fire kept my mind busy.” فَقِيْلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: أَلْهَتْنِي عَنْهَا النَّارُ الأُخْرَى.
