Musnad Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili 117:194

Ishaq narrated to us, Ali bin Abi Sarah narrated to us, Thabit narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) once sent a man to a man among the tyrants of the Arabs. He said, "Go and call him to me." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is more arrogant than that." He said, "Go and call him to me." So he went to him and said, "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) calls you." He said, "Who is the Messenger of Allah? And what is Allah? Is He made of gold? Is He made of silver? Is He made of copper?" He returned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, I told you that he is more arrogant than that. He said to me such and such." He said, "Return to him a second time." So he said the same thing to him. He returned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I told you that he is more arrogant than that." He said, "Return to him and call him." So he returned to him a third time. He said, "He repeated that speech to him." While he was speaking to him, Allah sent a cloud over his head, and it thundered, and a thunderbolt fell from it, which took away the top of his skull. Then Allah revealed: "And He sends thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills."
