Now this woman, of whom we spake before, that sustained the prophet,
when her son was fallen into a distemper till he gave up the ghost, and
appeared to be dead, came to the prophet weeping, and beating her breasts
with her hands, and sending out such expressions as her passions dictated
to her, and complained to him that he had come to her to reproach her for
her sins, and that on this account it was that her son was dead. But he
bid her be of good cheer, and deliver her son to him, for that he would
deliver him again to her alive. So when she had delivered her son up to
him, he carried him into an upper room, where he himself lodged, and laid
him down upon the bed, and cried unto God, and said, that God had not done
well, in rewarding the woman who had entertained him and sustained him,
by taking away her son; and he prayed that he would send again the soul
of the child into him, and bring him to life again. Accordingly God took
pity on the mother, and was willing to gratify the prophet, that he might
not seem to have come to her to do her a mischief, and the child, beyond
all expectation, came to life again. So the mother returned the prophet
thanks, and said she was then clearly satisfied that God did converse with
him.
