When I opened the fifth grave, it was completely different from the other graves. This grave was extremely spacious. Inside, there was a throne with a handsome young man sitting upon it. An unseen voice revealed that this person had sought repentance while he was still young and was steadfast in offering Ṣalāĥ and observing fasts. (Tażkira-tul-Wā’iẓīn, pp 612-615)

Bāgh-e-Firdous kā bĥī woĥ ḥaqdār ĥay

And devotee of the Beloved of Allah

Yūsuf bin Ḥasan رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said that once he was

rode onto the back of the frog; the frog then swam towards the other bank. Seeing
this, Żunnūn Miṣrī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ
الۡـقَـوِی said, ‘Come! Let’s go to
the other side of the pond because something strange is expected to happen
there.’
And so they too went to the other side of the pond. After reaching there, the frog dropped the scorpion off. Scorpion
