During the reign of Caliph Haroon Rasheed, a person claimed to be the Prophet Nooh ‘alaihis salaam. Haroon Rasheed called him and asked, “Are you the same Nooh who was sent earlier or you are someone else?”
He answered, “I’m that same Nooh who live earlier for nine hundred and fifty years. Now I am sent back to live for more fifty years so that I might complete my thousand year.”
Haroon Rasheed sentenced him to death. So he was hanged. While he (dead body) was still handing, a jolly man passed by, looked at the hanging man and remarked,
“Great Mr. Nooh! You couldn’t find anything else than the mast from your ark?”
