اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا اِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طٰٓىٕفٌ مِّنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ تَذَكَّرُوْا فَاِذَاهُمْ مُّبْصِرُوْنَۚ(۲۰۱)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Indeed those who fear (Allah); whenever a temptation from the devil touches them, they become alert, and at that very moment, their eyes open-up. (Part 9, Surah Al-A’raf, Ayah 201)

As soon as he recalled this blessed Ayah, then the fear of Allah Almighty dominated his heart to such an extent that he fell on the ground unconscious. When he did not arrive home till quite late, then his old father came there in his search and brought him home with the help of people. When he regained consciousness, his father inquired the reason for him losing consciousness. Upon this, the young man relayed the entire incident. While doing so, when he mentioned the aforementioned Ayah, then once again the fear of Allah Almighty dominated him. He let out a loud scream and passed away.

Arrangements for his Ghusl, shrouding and burial were made the same night. In the morning, when this incident was relayed to Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, then he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ went to his father for condoling him. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said to him, ‘Why did you not inform us last night? We too would have participated in the funeral.’ He replied, ‘Keeping in view your rest, we did not feel it appropriate to do so.’ He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘Take me to his grave.’ After reaching his grave, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ recited the 46^th Ayah of Surah Ar-Rahman, part 27:

وَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ جَنَّتٰنِۚ(۴۶)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And for the one who fears standing in the Majestic Court of his Lord, are two Paradises[1].

Upon this, the young man loudly proclaimed from the grave, ‘O Ameer of Mu`mineen! Indeed, my Lord Almighty has blessed me with two Jannahs.’
