A lot of children used to gather around Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام. He عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام would inform them, ‘Such and such thing has been prepared in your homes, your family members have eaten such and such thing, and they have kept such and such thing for you.-Then the children would go to their homes and ask for those things crying. The parents would give them those things and would ask, ‘Who told you?’ The children would say ‘Sayyidunā ‘Īsā (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام)’.
So the people prevented their children from Sayyidunā ‘Īsā (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام) saying, ‘He is a magician (Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forbid). Do not accompany him!’ They then gathered up all the children in a house. Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام reached there in search of the children. The people said to him, ‘They are not here.’ Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام asked, ‘Who is in this house then?’ They replied (telling a lie), ‘There are pigs, not the children.’ Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام said, ‘Yes. It will be so.’ When the door was opened, they were all pigs.
