Al-Mukhtasar

And he walked the earth until he reached the end of the land towards the sunset, in the eye of the beholder. He saw it as though it was setting in a hot spring of black mud. And he found a community of disbelievers near the setting place of the sun. We said to him, by way of giving discretion: O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you torment these people with killing or other means, or you be good to them.
