Hadith record

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Ma‘bad from ‘ Abd Allah ibn al-Dihqan from Durust ibn abu Mansur from ‘Atiyyah brother of abu al-‘Aram who has said the following: “Once I mentioned before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), one who allows sexual intercourse in his anus. He (the Imam) said, ‘If Allah finds someone of any use at all He does not allow him to become involved in allowing sexual intercourse in his anus. In behind such people there is something like a womb of women upside down. Their timidity in gayness is like women. A son of Satan called Zawal has shared with them. With whomever of men this Satan shares, he becomes a homosexual man and whomever of women this Satan shares she becomes of those to whom people come (for prostitution). A homosexual man who becomes forty years old and still does not stay away from his habit, he then is of the remaining individuals of Sadum. I do not mean thereby biological remaining; they however are of the same culture and clay.’ He (the narrator) has said, that I then asked ‘Is it the Sadum which was turned upside down?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘There were four cities: Sadum, Sarim, Ladma’ and ‘Amira.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘ Jibril came when they were cut out from the core of the seventh earth. He placed his wing underneath the lowest of them and raised all of them until the inhabitants of the heaven above the world could hear the barking of their dogs and then he turned them upside down.’”
