he said he ordered money for the christian and equipped him and said do not stop at anything and do not stay even one day. and beware beware of giving the stick from your hand to his except until the month of baraz! then he bade him farewell and the christian went on. when he crossed nahrawan it happened that his crossing coincided with the time of the bells. he heard the ringing of ten thousand bells or more. his eyes welled up and he said what a bad man i am if i help in the religion of christianity and obey the command of this tyrannical oppressor! so he went to the door of the roman king and asked permission to enter and he was granted permission by allah and he told him the story of abruiz word for word then he gave him the stick so he took it and looked at it. then he took out the letter from it and it was read to him so he snorted and said the month of baraz has deceived me! if my eyes fall upon him i will kill him! and he gave orders and his buildings were demolished immediately and he called out to the people to depart and he went out without turning back on anyone.
قال وأمر للنصراني بمال، وجهزه، وقال لا تعرجن على شيء، ولا تقيمن يوما واحدا. وإياك ثم إياك أن تدفع العصا إلا إلى شهر براز، من يدك إلى يده! ثم ودعه، ومضى النصراني. فلما عبر النهروان، اتفق أن كان عبوره مع وقت ضرب النواقيس. فسمع قرع عشرة آلاف ناقوس أو أكثر. فانهملت عيناه، وقال بئس الرجل أنا إن أعنت على دين النصرانية، وأطعت أمر هذا الجبار الظالم! فأتى باب ملك الروم، فاستأذن عليه، فأذن لله، فأخبره بقصة أبرويز حرفا حرفا، ثم دفع إليه العصا، فأخذها ونظر فيها. ثم استخرج الكتاب منها، فقريء عليه، فنخر وقال خدعني شهر براز! ولئن وقعت عيني عليه، لأقتلنه! وأمر، فقوضت أبنيته من ساعته؛ ونادى في الناس بالرحيل، وخرج ما يلوي على أحد.
