The Samiri said: "I saw what they did not see-and it is Gabriel peace be upon him-upon a horse, at the time of their exit from the sea and the drowning of Pharaoh and his soldiers, so I took by my palm dust from the trace of the hoof of Gabriel's horse, so I cast it on the jewelry which I manufactured from it the calf, so it was a calf a body having a lowing; as a trial and fitnah, and likewise my soul which commands with evil beautified for me this manufacture."
