 so he approached him until he took hold of his horse and the horse humbled itself before him and he mounted it. when he had ridden on its back he took several steps with it then he returned it to its seat and he got off it and began to stroke it with his hand coming and going. when he found the horse able to get ahold of him and heedless he threw his spear at it and struck the heart of the horse and killed it. the horse said this is an angel from the angels whom god made in the form of a horse and sent him to kill yazdgerd when he oppressed his subjects and spread corruption on earth.
فدنا منه حتى أخذ بمعرفته، فذل له الفرس، وتطامن حتى ركبه. فلما جال في متنه، خطا به خطى، ثم رده إلى قرار مجلسه، فنزل عنه، وجعل يمسحه بيده، مقبلا ومدبرا. حتى إذا وجد الفرس منه ممكنا وغفلة، رمحه فأصاب حبة قلبه، فقتله. فقالت الفرس هذا ملك من الملائكة، جعله الله في صورة فرس، فبعثه لقتل يزدجرد، لما ظلم الرعية، وعاث في الأرض.
