Mahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him,
and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of
his law. The people assembled; Mahomet called the hill to come
to him, again and again, and when the hill stood still, he was
never a whit abashed, but said, "If the hill will not come to
Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill."
