Hatim Tai, having escaped the raging fire, walked confidently towards the top of mountain Kaf. He had not yet taken a few hundred steps when the fairies caught him once again. They said, “How did you escape the fire and come out alive after being in it for three days and three nights? Are you real or a ghost?” Hatim replied, “My God saved me; I am real!” On hearing this, the fairies once again threw him into the fire, but once again he walked out of the ashes unharmed. They made the fire for the third time, but again Hatim walked out of it unharmed. With the intention of ending his life for once and for all, the fairies carried him to the banks of the salted ocean and threw him into it at the deepest point. Convinced he would perish they left the area happily.
