It is also stated that on that night he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه invited the members of the caravan and said: You feel safe from Fudayl Bin ‘Iyaad. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه then went to get the food for their animals. Upon his return he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه heard someone reciting the blessed Ayah of the Holy Quran:

اَلَمْ یَاْنِ لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَنْ تَخْشَعَ قُلُوْبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Has not the time come for the believers to surrender their hearts to Allah’s remembrance. (Part 27, Surah Al-Hadeed, Ayah 16)

This blessed Ayah of the Holy Quran pierced his heart. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه started weeping bitterly and said putting dust on his clothes: Yes! Why not! I swear to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Now the time has come; now the time has come. In the same way, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه kept weeping and then repented of his all past sins. (‘Uyoon-ul-Hikayaat, vol. 2, pp. 17)

بڑی کوششیں کی گُنہ چھوڑنے کی رہے آہ! ناکام ہم  یا اِلٰہی

مجھے سچی توبہ کی توفیق دیدے    پئے تاجدارِ حرم یا اِلٰہی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Repentance of sitar-playing girl

Sayyiduna Saalih Murri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: A sitar-playing girl (one who plays a stringed musical instrument) passed by a reciter of the Blessed Quran who was reciting the following blessed Ayah (of Surah Al-‘Ankaboot, part 21):

وَ اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِیْطَةٌۢ بِالْكٰفِرِیْنَ(۴۹)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And indeed Hell surrounds the disbelievers.

(Part 21, Surah Al-‘Ankaboot, Ayah 54)
