[Machine] "So I said, 'O Amir-al-Mu'minin, do you not have the Book of Allah and the wisdom of the Messenger of Allah?'" He replied, "Yes, but O Ka'b, we were afraid." I said, "O Amir-al-Mu'minin, perform an act like the act of a man who, if you were to fulfill it on the Day of Resurrection, it would surpass the deeds of seventy Prophets." He said, "Umar then fell and became unconscious, and his cloak fell off him." He woke up and said, "Increase us, O Ka'b, increase us." I said, "O Amir-al-Mu'minin, even if a portion of the size of a jot from Hell was opened and a man from the east and a man from the west fell into it, his brain would boil until it spilled out due to its heat." He said, "Umar fell again and became unconscious, and his cloak fell off him." He woke up and said, "Increase us, O Ka'b." I said, "O Amir-al-Mu'minin, indeed Hell will roar on the Day of Resurrection with a roar that will cause every near Angel and chosen Prophet to fall prostrate on their knees." He said, "He says, 'Myself, myself, I ask you today for myself alone.'" Umar fell down and became unconscious. He said, "I said, 'O Amir-al-Mu'minin, do you not find this in the Book of Allah?'" He said, "How?" I said, "I mentioned the saying of Allah, Exalted is He: 'On the Day every soul will come disputing on its own behalf, and every soul will be fully compensated for what it did, and they will not be wronged.'" [Surah An-Nahl, 16:111]
فَقُلْتُ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَوَلَيْسَ فِيكُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَحِكْمَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟» قَالَ «بَلَى وَلَكِنْ يَا كَعْبُ خَوِّفْنَا» قَالَ قُلْتُ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اعْمَلْ عَمَلَ رَجُلٍ لَوْ وَافَيْتَ الْقِيَامَةَ بِعَمَلِ سَبْعِينَ نَبِيًّا لَازْدَرَأْتَ عَمَلَكَ مِمَّا تَرَى» قَالَ فَأَطْرَقَ عُمَرُ وَأَنْكَسَ وَنَكَّسَ مَلِيًّا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ قَالَ «زِدْنَا يَا كَعْبُ زِدْنَا» قَالَ قُلْتُ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَوْ فُتِحَ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ قَدْرُ مِنْخَرِ ثَوْرٍ بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَرَجُلٌ بِالْمَغْرِبِ لَغَلَا دِمَاغُهُ حَتَّى يَسِيلَ مِنْ حَرِّهَا» قَالَ فَأَطْرَقَ عُمَرُ وَنُكِّسَ مَلِيًّا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فَقَالَ «زِدْنَا يَا كَعْبُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَتَزْفُرُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ زَفْرَةً مَا بَقِيَ مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَلَا نَبِيٌّ مُصْطَفًى إِلَّا خَرَّ جَاثِيًا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ» قَالَ وَيَقُولُ رَبِّ نَفْسِي نَفْسِي لَا أَسْأَلُكَ الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا نَفْسِي قَالَ فَأَطْرَقَ عُمَرُ مَلِيًّا قَالَ قُلْتُ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَوَلَيْسَ تَجِدُونَ هَذَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ «كَيْفَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ {يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا وَتُوُفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ} [النحل 111]
