Anwar: All right. What if a person does perform a supernatural act but it is not corresponding to the claim?
Hasan: Very good question. In fact, Mosailama([٦]) did that when he claimed to be a prophet. People asked him to do what the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) did when he spit in a well little with water and the water increased and was sweetened. When Mosailama did the same thing, it had a reversed effect; all the water boiled and nothing was left. He was proved a liar by the Almighty Allah.

Anwar: May I add this to the definition?
Hasan: Yes, you may!
Anwar: I have more questions concerning miracles?
Hasan: And I have an appointment and I have got to go. We will continue tomorrow, Inshallah.
