The Peak of Eloquence · Hadith 65 (#Passage #3)
Chapter 13 | Condemning the people of Basra
وفي رواية : وَأيْمُ اللهِ لَتَغْرَقَنَّ بَلْدَتُكُمْ حَتَّى كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلى مَسْجِدِهَا كَجُؤْجُؤِ سَفِينَةٍ، أَوْ نَعَامَةٍ جَاثِمَةٍ
Another version : By Allāh, your city would certainly be drowned so much so that as though I see its mosque like the upper part of a boat or a sitting ostrich.
