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 got near, 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.

بے وفا دُنیا پہ مَت کر اِعتبار         تُو اَچانَک مَوْت کا ہوگا شِکار

مَوْت آکر ہی رہے گی یاد رَکھ!          جان جا کر ہی رہے گی یاد رَکھ!

تیری طاقت تیرا فَن عُہدہ تِرا            کچھ نہ کام آئے گا سَرمایہ تِرا

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 whenever I lifted my head from Sajdah, I was heedless, and now I am dying in the state of heedlessness.’ (Mukashafa-tul-Quloob, pp. 22)
