[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
