Overview
In the hadith
al-Bukhari reports that the king said to him: "Say, if God wills", but he did not say it. The Prophet said in the hadith: "If he had said, if God wills, he would not have failed, and it would have been more hopeful for his need" 1.
The data classes him under the role of "prophetic figure", with a source in the Qur'an and al-Bukhari. Other details of his life need an additional source.
