It is to be noted that man who got into the birnning oven remain unaffected and was well and hearty just like the prophet Ibrahim (as) when He was threwn into the birnning fire.Talk about faith.! Can we really do something like that if iMaM Mehdi ajtf came out right now and told us to jump into the birnning fire could we do this.? I’m sure we can say yas now but in reality we would be hesitated.
