| Description: | Hanno tells us about two deacons who went to Mosul and got themselves books of sorcery, by which one can read the horoscope. An orphan mother came to one of the deacons and asked him to read the horoscope of her son. She was told that her son shall convert to Islam. She was very saddened and she asked the deacon to read the horoscope again to see if he shall die as a Muslim. She was told that he will convert back to Christianity. This is something that Hanno has himself witnessed. The boy truly became a Muslim, and then converted back to Christianity before he died. | |
