[Machine] A man from Sham prepared for Hajj and went to sleep. Someone came to him in his dream and said to him, "Go to Iraq, then go to Basra, then go to the Banu Adi and bring Alaa bin Ziyad to me, for he is a man who speaks eloquently" So give him glad tidings of paradise. He said, "A dream is of no significance." He slept again and someone came to him and said, "Why haven't you gone to Iraq and then to Basra?" He mentioned the same thing until the third night when someone came to him with a bunch of grapes and said to him, "Why haven't you gone to Iraq and then to Basra, then to the Banu Adi and meet Alaa bin Ziyad, a man who speaks eloquently?" He said, "Alright, I will go." So he prepared his provisions and set out. When he left his house, he saw the person who came to him in his dream walking in front of him, guiding him along the way. When they arrived in Basra, he went to the Banu Adi and entered the house of Alaa bin Ziyad. A man stood at the door of Alaa bin Ziyad and said, "Peace be upon you, are you Alaa bin Ziyad?" He said, "No." The man said, "Enter, may Allah have mercy on you, and put down your belongings here." He said, "No, where is Alaa bin Ziyad?" He said, "He is in the mosque." Alaa used to sit in the mosque supplicating and talking. So the man approached Alaa, and Alaa smiled and his front tooth became apparent. He said, "By Allah, this is my friend." Alaa said to him, "Why didn't you put down the man's belongings when he entered?" He said, "I told him to, but he refused." Alaa said, "Put them down, may Allah have mercy on you." He said, "Be kind to me." Alaa entered his house and said to Asma (his wife), "Go to the other house." She went and the man entered and gave him glad tidings of the dream, then he left and mounted his ride. Hisham said, "Alaa stood up and closed his door and cried for three or seven days. He would not taste food or drink, nor open his door." Hisham said, "I was afraid that he would die. So I went to Al-Hasan (Al-Basri) and mentioned that to him. I said, "I only see him eating and drinking while crying." Al-Hasan came and struck him and said, "Open the door, my brother." When the man heard the words of Al-Hasan, he stood up and opened the door. Something harmful blazed and Allah knew it. Al-Hasan spoke to him and then said, "May Allah have mercy on you and you are from the people of Paradise, if Allah wills. Will you fight yourself?" Hisham said, "Alaa informed me and Al-Hasan about the dream. He said, "Do not inform anyone about it as long as I am alive."

[Machine] I heard Anas say, "Indeed, goodness has keys, and surely one of the keys of goodness is consistency."  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ «إِنَّ لِلْخَيْرِ مَفَاتِيحُ وَإِنَّ ثَابِتًا مِفْتَاحٌ مِنْ مَفَاتِيحِ الْخَيْرِ»  

[Machine] I heard my father say, "How strange is the son of Adam! While his heart is focused on the hereafter, he scratches an itch caused by a small thorn and forgets about the hereafter."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ «عَجَبًا لِابْنِ آدَمَ فَبَيْنَمَا قَلْبُهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَحَكَّهُ بُرْغُوثٌ فَنَسِيَ الْآخِرَةَ»  

[Machine] "So, dedicate it to the obedience of Allah. May Allah bless you."  

فَأَنْضُوهَا فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ ﷻ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكُمْ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Al-Ahwas saying in his supplication, "O Allah, I ask You for shade, blessed water, and security on the Day of Resurrection."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْأَحْوَصِ يَقُولُ فِي [206] دُعَائِهِ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الظِّلَّ وَالْمَاءَ الْمُبَارَكَ وَالْأَمْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] Woe to you, O 'Ataa, did I not inform you that you carry your knowledge to the doors of kings and the people of the world? O 'Ataa, someone comes and closes his door on you, revealing his poverty to you and concealing his wealth. And someone comes and opens his door to you, revealing his wealth to you and saying, "Call upon Me, I will respond to you." And woe to you, O 'Ataa, be content with a piece of the world without wisdom, and do not be content with wisdom without the world. Woe to you, O 'Ataa, if what is sufficient for you does not suffice you, then nothing in the world will suffice you. And woe to you, O 'Ataa, your belly is a sea of oceans and a valley of valleys, nothing fills it except dust.  

لَهُ وَيْحَكَ يَا عَطَاءُ أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَحْمِلُ عِلْمَكَ إِلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمُلُوكِ وَأَبْنَاءِ الدُّنْيَا يَا عَطَاءُ تَأْتِي مَنْ يُغْلِقُ عَنْكَ بَابَهُ وَيُظْهِرُ لَكَ فَقْرَهُ وَيُوَارِي عَنْكَ غِنَاهُ وَتَدَعُ مَنْ يَفْتَحُ لَكَ بَابَهُ وَيُظْهِرُ لَكَ غِنَاهُ وَيَقُولُ {ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ} [غافر 60] وَيْحَكَ يَا عَطَاءُ ارْضَ لَكَ بِدُونٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَعَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَلَا تَرْضَ بِالدُّونِ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ مَعَ الدُّنْيَا وَيْحَكَ يَا عَطَاءُ إِنْ كَانَ لَا يُغْنِيكَ مَا يَكْفِيكَ فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا يَكْفِيكَ وَيْحَكَ يَا عَطَاءُ إِنَّمَا بَطْنُكَ بَحْرٌ مِنَ الْبُحُورِ وَوَادٍ مِنَ الْأَوْدِيَةِ لَا يَمْلَؤُهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ  

[Machine] "Has Satan found anyone to mock other than me and you?"  

«أَمَا وَجَدَ الشَّيْطَانُ أَحَدًا يَسْخَرُ بِهِ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرَكَ»  

[Machine] There was a man who used to show off in his work, so he would roll up his sleeves and raise his voice when he would recite. He would not come to anyone except he would insult and curse them. Then Allah blessed him with something after that, so he lowered his voice and made his prayer between himself and his Lord. He would not come to anyone after that except he would pray for good upon them and speak kindly to them.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يُرَائِي بِعَمَلِهِ فَجَعَلَ يُشَمِّرُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ إِذَا مَا قَرَأَ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا سَبَّهُ وَلَعَنَهُ ثُمَّ رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ شَيْئًا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَخَفَّضَ مِنْ صَوْتِهِ وَجَعَلَ صَلَاتَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّهِ ﷻ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْتِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا دَعَا لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ وَسَمَّتَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] "To his wife Asma, he said: 'Oh Asma, I feel a period tonight. So, when this amount of time passes during the night, wake me up.' She said: 'When the time was due, he woke up in a startled state and said: 'Indeed, someone has come to me.' So, he held onto the front part of his head and said: 'Oh Ibn Ziyad, stand up and remember Allah, for He will remember you.' Hisham said: 'By Allah, those hairs of his never stopped standing on end in the front part of his face, whether during his life or after his death. And indeed, we washed him and they were still standing on end.'"  

لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَسْمَاءَ يَا أَسْمَاءُ إِنِّي أَجِدُ اللَّيْلَةَ فَتْرَةً فَإِذَا مَضَى كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَأَيْقِظِينِي قَالَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَتِ السَّاعَةُ انْتَبَهَ فَزِعًا فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي آتٍ فَأَخَذَ بِمُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِي قَالَ يَا ابْنَ زِيَادٍ قُمْ فَاذْكُرِ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَذْكُرْكَ قَالَ هِشَامٌ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زِلْنَ تِلْكَ الشَّعْرَاتِ قِيَامًا فِي مُقَدَّمِ وَجْهِهِ مَا صَحِبَ الدُّنْيَا وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَلَقَدْ غَسَّلْنَاهُ وَأَنَّهُنَّ لَقِيَامٌ وَمَا سَكَنَّ  

[Machine] "Do not follow with your sight the beauty of a woman, for indeed looking leads to desire within the heart."  

«لَا تُتْبِعْ بَصَرَكَ رِدَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ فَإِنَّ النَّظَرَ يُجْعَلُ شَهْوَةً فِي الْقَلْبِ»  

[Machine] I saw people while they were asleep following something, so I followed it. Then, I found an old, frail, naked woman, wearing all kinds of adornments and ornaments. I asked her, "Who are you?" She replied, "I am the world." I said, "I ask Allah to make you hate me." She said, "Yes, if you hate money."  

رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ فِي النَّوْمِ يَتَّبِعُونَ شَيْئًا فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَإِذَا عَجُوزٌ كَبِيرَةٌ دَهْمَاءُ عَوْرَاءُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ حُلَّةٍ وَزِينَةٍ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنْتِ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَنَا الدُّنْيَا قُلْتُ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُبَغِّضَكِ إِلَيَّ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ إِنْ أَبْغَضْتَ الدِّرْهَمَ  

[Machine] His Lord resigned, so he dismissed him. Therefore, let him work in obedience to Allah.  

فَاسْتَقَالَ رَبَّهُ فَأَقَالَهُ فَلْيَعْمَلْ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»  

[Machine] He said, "Verily, we are a people who have thrown ourselves into the fire, so if Allah wills, He will bring us out of it."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ وَضَعْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا فِي النَّارِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَنَا مِنْهَا أَخْرَجَنَا»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There is no supplication that is more beloved to Allah than His servant asking Him for well-being in this world and the Hereafter.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ دَعْوَةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ مِنْ عَبْدِهِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ الْمُعَافَاةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ  

[Machine] Rejoice, for that is knowledge of goodness. Have you not seen the thieves passing by the ruined house without paying attention to it, but when they pass by the house where they see belongings, they deviate until they take something from it? And he said, "It bothers me that my house is close to the mosque," meaning that he prefers his dwelling to be far away due to the abundance of mistakes. And I was informed by Al-Mubarak ibn Fadalah, from Humaid ibn Hilal, who said: I entered with Al-Hasan to Al-Ala ibn Ziyad Al-Adawi while he was sorrowful, and he had a sister who narrated stories to him morning and evening. So Al-Hasan said to him, "How are you, O Al-Ala?" He replied, "My sadness has intensified." So Al-Hasan said, "Get up, for by Allah, the end of independency from sorrow has come."  

أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ عِلْمٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ أَمَا رَأَيْتَ اللُّصُوصَ مَرُّوا بِالْبَيْتِ الْخَرِبِ وَلَمْ يَلْوُوا عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي يَرَوْا فِيهِ الْمَتَاعَ زَاوَلُوهُ حَتَّى يُصِيبُوا مِنْهُ شَيْئًا وَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يَسُوءُنِي قُرْبُ دَارِي مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ يَعْنِي يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْزِلُهُ بَعِيدًا لِكَثْرَةِ الْخُطَا

وَأُخْبِرْتُ عَنِ الْمُبَارَكِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ الْحَسَنِ عَلَى الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ وَقَدْ سَلَّهُ الْحُزْنُ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ أُخْتٌ تَنْدِفُ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَسَنُ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا عَلَاءُ؟ قَالَ: وَاحُزْنَاهُ عَلَى الْحُزْنِ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ: قُومُوا فَإِلَى هَذَا وَاللَّهِ انْتِهَاءُ اسْتِقْلَالِ الْحُزْنِ  

[Machine] About yourself, the matter relates to you directly, not to them. Do not interrupt your day with crying and tears, for what you said is preserved for you, and you have not seen anything better sought after or quicker to grasp than a new good deed for an old mistake.  

عَنْ ذَاتِ نَفْسِكَ فَإِنَّ الْأَمْرَ يَخْلُصُ إِلَيْكَ دُونَهُمْ وَلَا تَقْطَعِ النَّهَارَ بَكَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ فَإِنَّهُ مَحْفُوظٌ عَلَيْكَ مَا قُلْتَ وَلَمْ تَرَ شَيْئًا أَحْسَنَ طَلَبًا وَلَا أَسْرَعَ إِدْرَاكًا مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ حَدِيثَةٍ لِذَنْبٍ قَدِيمٍ  

[Machine] He used to say, "You should have breakfast and take a walk with a piece of Dullah, while being upright."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالغُدُوِّ وَالرَّوَاحِ مَعَ حَظٍّ مِنَ الدُّلْجَةِ مَعَ الِاسْتِقَامَةِ»  

[Machine] Asa'as bin Salama said, "The person who abstains from desires will have the banner of wealth raised for him on the Day of Resurrection. It will be carried before him until he enters Paradise."  

قَالَ عَسْعَسُ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ «الْمُتَعَفِّفُ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ رَايَةُ الْغِنَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَسِيرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى تُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] He bore the burden on himself, and people began speaking to him about their needs, and he did not see success in fulfilling his own needs. He spent his night in prayer in the mosque and fell asleep in his prayer. When he fell asleep, a man came to him in his dream and said, "O Safwan, wake up and seek your need from His presence." Safwan asked, "Should I do that?" He got up, performed ablution with water, prayed, and supplicated. Ibnu Ziyad was alerted about Safwan's need, and the guards and police arrived with torches. The prison doors were opened until my cousin Safwan was brought out, and he was brought to Ibnu Ziyad. Ibnu Ziyad said to him, "Are you my cousin Safwan?" He replied, "Yes." Ibnu Ziyad sent him away. Safwan didn't realize what was happening until he knocked on the door and asked, "Who is it?" The person replied, "It's me, so-and-so. I alerted the prince in the middle of the night." The guards and police came, and the prison doors were opened. Safwan entered into the vacancy, meaning after bail was posted.  

فَتَحَمَّلَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كَلَّمَهُ فِيهِ فَلَمْ يَرَ لِحَاجَتِهِ نَجَاحًا قَالَ فَبَاتَ لَيْلَتَهُ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَرَقَدَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ [208] فَلَمَّا رَقَدَ أَتَاهُ آتٍ فِي مَنَامِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا صَفْوَانُ قُمْ فَاطْلُبْ حَاجَتَكَ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهَا فَقَالَ أَفْعَلُ فَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَصَلَّى وَدَعَا قَالَ فَنُبِّهَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ لِحَاجَةِ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ الْحَرَسُ وَالشُّرْطَةُ بِالنِّيرَانِ وَفُتِّحَتْ أَبْوَابُ السُّجُونِ حَتَّى اسْتُخْرِجَ ابْنُ أَخِي صَفْوَانَ فَجِيءَ بِهِ إِلَى ابْنِ زِيَادٍ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ ابْنُ أَخِي صَفْوَانَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَرْسَلَهُ قَالَ فَمَا شَعَرَ صَفْوَانُ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَابَ فَقَالَ مَنْ ذَا؟ قَالَ أَنَا فُلَانٌ نُبِّهَ الْأَمِيرُ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَجَاءَتِ الْحَرَسُ وَالشُّرْطَةُ وَجِيءَ بِالنِّيرَانِ وَفُتِّحَتْ أَبْوَابُ السُّجُونِ فَجِيءَ فِي فَخُلِّيَ أَعْنِي بَعْدَ كَفَالَةٍ  

[Machine] Al-Hasan, if your father's flesh and blood are taken to atone for his sins, it is better for him than dying altogether and being consumed by the earth, and he will not be rewarded for that.  

الْحَسَنُ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ إِنْ يُؤْخَذْ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَدَمِهِ فَيُكَفَّرْ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ جَمِيعًا فَيَأْكُلَهُ التُّرَابُ أَوْ قَالَ فَتَأْكُلَهُ الْأَرْضُ وَلَا يُؤْجَرُ فِي ذَاكَ  

[Machine] "He had a special attachment to it, a tree trunk that broke. It was said to him, 'Why don't you fix it?' He replied, 'Leave it, I will die tomorrow'."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ خُصٌّ فِيهِ جِذْعٌ فَانْكَسَرَ الْجِذْعُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَلَا تُصْلِحُهُ فَقَالَ «دَعُوهُ أَنَا أَمُوتُ غَدًا»  

[Machine] I arrived in Bahrain and stayed with a woman who had sons, wealth, and a servant. She was in great sadness, but when we wanted to leave, I greeted her and asked if she had any needs. She said our need is for you to stay with us if you visit this city. I hesitated for a moment, then I approached her again. I arrived at the railway station and saw no one. I arrived at her door and also saw no one. I asked permission to enter and heard her laughter. I entered and found a woman with her. She said, "I see that you disapprove of what you see." I said, "Yes, indeed, I saw your door and it seemed like a sign." She said, "When you left us, we made it a rule not to focus on anything related to the sea, as it would drown, or anything related to the land, as it would be damaged. And her sons died, and her servant died." I asked, "Sorrow at that time and joy today?" She replied, "At that time, I felt that there was no good for me with my Lord. But when my wealth and children were taken from me, I hoped." A Muslim said, "I met Abdullah bin Umar and told him the story. He replied, "What happened to the Prophet Ayoub (Job), ﷺ , was more severe than this. This is just a trial. My clothes tore like this, and I sent them to be mended, but they did not return as I would have liked, and that saddened me."  

قَدِمْتُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَنَزَلْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ لَهَا بَنُونَ وَلَهَا مَالٌ وَلَهَا رَقِيقٌ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ كَثِيرَةَ الْكَآبَةِ فَلَمَّا أَرَدْنَا الْخُرُوجَ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ لَكِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ؟ قَالَتْ حَاجَتُنَا إِنْ قَدِمْتَ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ عِنْدَنَا فَقَالَ فَغِبْتُ عَنْهَا حِينًا ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ قَالَ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى السِّكَّةِ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا وَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى بَابِهَا فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَسَمِعْتُ ضَحِكَهَا قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ فَإِذَا عِنْدَهَا إِنْسَانَةٌ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَرَاكَ مُسْتَنْكِرًا مَا تَرَى قُلْتُ أَجَلْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ بَابَكِ وَإِنَّهُ لَآهِلٌ قَالَتْ لَمَّا تَوَجَّهْتَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا جَعَلْنَا لَا نُوَجِّهُ شَيْئًا بَحْرًا إِلَّا غَرِقَ وَلَا بَرًّا إِلَّا عَطِبَ وَمَاتَ بَنُوهَا وَمَاتَ رَقِيقُهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ الْكَآبَةُ يَؤْمَئِذٍ وَالسُّرُورُ الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ إِذْ ذَاكَ أَرَى أَنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ لِي عِنْدَ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَلَمَّا رُزِئْتُ فِي مَالِي وَوَلَدِي لِي رَجَوْتُ قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ فَلَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ مَا سَبَقَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَيُّوبَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ هَذِهِ إِلَّا حَبْوًا لَقَدْ انْشَقَّتْ خَمِيصَتِي هَذِهِ فَأَرْسَلْتُ بِهَا تُرْفَأُ فَلَمْ يَجِئْ رَفَؤُهَا كَمَا أُحِبُّ فَغَمَّنِي ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] About Bakr, it was said to Abu Tamimah, "How are you, Abu Tamimah?" He said, "I am between two blessings, a hidden sin that people are unaware of, and something I said that has spread among the people. They elevated me to it, but by Allah, I did not reach it or come close to it."  

عَنْ بَكْرٍ قِيلَ لِأَبِي تَمِيمَةَ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا تَمِيمَةَ؟ قَالَ «أَنَا بَيْنَ نِعْمَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ ذَنْبٍ مَسْتُورٍ وَلَا يَشْعُرُ بِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّاسُ وَبَيْنَ شَيْءٍ قُلْتُ جَرَى عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّاسِ رَفَعُونِي إِلَيْهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا بَلَغْتُهُ وَلَا قَرِيبًا»  

[Machine] Abu Al-Khallal used to stand on top of a room and call out to some of its doors, overlooking a street. He would say, "O so-and-so!" and then move on to the next door and call out, "O so-and-so! O so-and-so!" He would continue this pattern until he reached all four corners. Then he would say, "Do you feel anything from them or hear any noise?" [Maryam 98] After that, he would proceed to offer his prayers. This was when he passed away at the age of one hundred and twenty years.  

كَانَ أَبُو الْخَلَّالِ فَوْقَ غُرْفَةٍ فَيَأْتِي بَعْضَ أَبْوَابِهَا فَيُشْرِفُ عَلَى شِقٍّ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ [209] الْحَيِّ فَيُنَادِي يَا فُلَانُ ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُ عَلَى الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ فَيُنَادِي يَا فُلَانُ يَا فُلَانُ ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُ عَلَى الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ فَيَقُولُ مِثْلَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ عَلَى الْأَرْكَانِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ {هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا} [مريم 98] ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ يَوْمَ مَاتَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ  

[Machine] "Indeed, the wonders of the Quran have taken away my sleep."  

«إِنَّ عَجَائِبَ الْقُرْآنِ أَذَهَبَتْ نَوْمِي»  

[Machine] To mention Allah in purity.  

أَنْ يَذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى طَهَارَةٍ»
