Overview
On the night of 21 Muharram 813 AH two common men in Damascus gathered and drank wine, and in the morning they were found burned. Ibn al-Imad says that no fire was found between them, and no trace of burning except on their bodies and some of their clothes. One of them died, the other still had breath in him, and people came to see them. 2
This is the account of Ibn al-Imad alone, and it needs an additional source.
