Could not get time even for distributing wealth

On page 389 of a 417-page book, ‘Summary of Ihya-ul-Uloom’, published by the publishing house of Dawat-e-Islami, Maktaba tul Madinah, it is stated: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Bin Abdullah Muzni رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: A person from Bani Israel accumulated wealth. When the time of his death came he said to his sons: Show me my different possessions. Many horses, camels and slaves were brought to him. He looked at them and started weeping wistfully. When Malak-ul-Maut عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم saw him weeping he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم said:  Why are you weeping? By the One Who has given you all this! I will not leave until I separate your soul from your body. He said: Give me some respite (time) so that I can distribute this wealth. The angel replied: Now you will get no respite (time). Why didn’t you do this work before your death? Malak-ul-Maut عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم then seized his soul.

کرلے تَوْبَہ رَبّ کی رَحْمت ہے بڑی     قَبْر میں ورنہ سَزا ہوگی کڑی

صَلُّوۡ اعَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Strange regret:

Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said that Sayyiduna Shaykh Abu ‘Ali Daqqaq رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: A great pious saint رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was very ill, so I went to inquire after him. I saw his students sitting around him. The pious saint was weeping. I humbly asked, ‘O Shaykh! Are you weeping for the world?’ He replied in the negative and said: I am weeping for missing Salah.’ I asked, ‘You used to worship abundantly then how did you miss your Salah?’ He replied, ‘Whenever I performed Sajdah, I was heedless and
