This story is taken from an authentic narration or a Hadith of Islamic prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that explains the reference to “The people of the ditch” in Surat Al-Burooj from the Qur’an (85:4). The Qur’anic story is about a boy who believes in Allah Almighty, and he is blessed with divine protection from the plotting of a wicked king and a sorcerer.
