Book Name:Quran Kitab-e-Hidayat Hai
Sayyiduna Saalih Murri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه has stated: A girl who would play the Sitar (a musical instrument) passed by a reciter of the Blessed Quran who was reciting the following blessed verse (of Surah Al-‘Ankaboot, part 21):
وَ اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِیْطَةٌۢ بِالْكٰفِرِیْنَۙ(۵۴)
And indeed, Hell has surrounded the disbelievers.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 21, Surah Al-‘Ankaboot, Verse 54)
As soon as she heard this blessed verse, she threw awat the Sitar, screamed loudly, and fell unconscious to the ground. Upon regaining her senses, she broke the Sitar and fully devoted herself to worship and spiritual efforts to such an extent that she became well-known for her piety and ascetism. One day, I said to her, ‘Be gentle with yourself.’ Hearing this, she wept and said, ‘I wish I could know how the dwellers of Hell will come out of their graves, how they will cross the Bridge of Siraat, how they will attain salvation from the horrors of the Day of Judgement, how they will take the draught of boiling water and how they will bear the wrath of Allah Almighty.’
Saying this, she again fell unconscious and collapsed. Upon regaining consciousness, she implored Allah Almighty in the following way, ‘O Allah Almighty, I disobeyed You in my youth, and I am now obeying You in this state of weakness; will You accept my worship?’ She then heaved a deep sigh and said, ‘Alas! The faults of many people will be disclosed on the Day of Judgement.’ She then gave a piercing scream and burst into tears in such a painful way that all the people who were present there fell unconscious. (Ar-Raud-ul-Faaiq, p. 148)
