Then my Master—may His Might be exalted—said: "O Jabir, call him now by his name with which he was called during the appearance of the Master Muhammad in Mecca and Yathrib, and after his occultation until this hour." I said: "O my Master, by what [name] shall I call him?" He said: "Call him by Sakad ibn al-Khattab." So I said: "O Sakad ibn al-Khattab, answer my Master!" Then, from the place where he had descended, a human figure rose and stood where the first figure had been standing.

My Master—may His Might be exalted—said to me: "Contemplate him, O Jabir." So I contemplated him and found all the attributes that my Master had described complete within him; not a single attribute was missing. I found him to be blue-eyed, patchy-skinned (abras), spotted (abqa'), leper (abras), maimed (ajdham), cross-eyed (ahwal), speckled (arqat), and bow-legged (afhaj). He was unsteady of pace, possessed a scrotal swelling (qaylah), was distorted of hand (a'sam), left-handed (a'sar), and possessed a white blaze (ghurrah) and a mole. He was afflicted with deafness, and in his speech was a truncation (rakhm). In his sight was blindness, in his tongue was muteness, in his lips was a cleft (sharm) ¹ , and in his nostrils was a slit (khurm). He was dragging his right shin and pulling his left leg; he had a hunch (inhidab) and a contraction (in'iqad). He would become mute at times until the stammering (tamtama) released him. He was deficient in the thighs, shins, upper arms, and forearms, and had scaly ears (safadi).
